200th league appearance last night. Marked it with an amazing save. (the second one in this clip) [video=youtube;tkIe2ph2WFM]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkIe2ph2WFM&list=UUli5AB-aSOhTxiF0XZL58gQ[/video]
Very good save, those often flash by the keeper before they can get into position to get their hand in the right place. Top drawer stuff.
However top class Butland is, in Steele we have had a consistently top-level Championship keeper at our club since we got him. We do well in that Department. Colgan got player of year but then we got Muller and Steele. Then Butland. A few odd loanees but permanent deals have been crackers. Hope he stays whatever league
I genuinely feel that his shot-stopping and one on one record is as good as any keeper in this league. I think he's a quality keeper at this level.
To be honest I thought it had flashed by him at the time I still don't know how he got his hand to it. I thought it was a world class save at the time and having seen the replay remain convinced it was. Had Reading got back to 3-2 with 15 mins to go the result might have been different but that save was as good as a goal at the other end. Reading seemed to lose heart after that and the last 10 mins were a lot less stressful than I was expecting
Covered up Nyatanga's defending, as he was caught way under the ball - as his and others reaction shows!
Better than kasper schmeichel. Honestly they are okay to good saves. Nothing more. Think some posters are going over the top. I wouldn't be surprised if Chadderton made them saves
