Had a very good game, kicking a couple of times again a bit off, but he's a goalkeeper and a very good one. Steele and Hassell our best 2 players by a mile.
It's a funny one for me. He is a very good shot stopper. We all know he can't kick. But he's been out injured for weeks and as soon as butland goes back he's suddenly fit again. Did he think he was too good to be sat on the bench as a number 2?
No, it really was an injury. He is in pain when he kicks the ball. he should have had surgery last summer, but was advised to see how it went, bad advice, but that person is no longer around. He should not be playing and is taking painkillers to be able to.
No, I think he either really was/is injured or someone thought he wasn't good enough to even be a number 2.
He came in to do a job, because he was called upon. Danny himself said he wasn't fit for yesterday, but would hopefully be back for the Derby game. Sums the man up, that he stepped up. His kicking was a bit off, but this is Luke Steele we're talking about! Top man Luke!
He was doing that whenever he got a chance throughout the game. I saw him wincing on plenty of occasions first half.
