    She's probably a keeper as well.

    Good interview that. Nice to see that Charlton players still share the driving, I remember the Brighton based players in the 90s used to drive up together!

    Robinson / Nelson / Brown wasnt it from that area?

    Didnt Jackson and a few others travel over from Essex together when it was the proper team under Chris Powell?

    Top top man Dillon Phillips .
    I won an auction thing from CACT and spent a morning down the training ground with my two youngest hosted by Keith Peacock a few weeks back just after the Wycombe win.
    Dillon did minimal training that day due to having played on the Tuesday and the Saturday game against Luton coming up
    so he made a beeline for me and the boys and called us over for a kick about .
    i told him we’re going to Wembley (didn’t tell him the bit about us losing there) 
    i took a penalty against him and said you gotta do your best and try and save it , I gave him the eyes and wrong footed him slotting it in the corner,  he was small broken .
    he then signed a pair of his gloves and gave them to the boys , I’d watched him spit on them a few times beforehand euuuugh .

    He said at the Plymouth game the bench were trying to get him info about which way the Plymouth penalty taker usually goes  , it didn’t get to him , he likes to go with instinct and he saved the penalty and the bench were trying to get him to go the other way !!!

    To be fair Dillon dived the wrong way regardless for that Plymouth penalty, saved it with his feet luckily

    Yep it was a pony penalty unlike mine that he’s still probably having sleepless nights over

    The save he made just after their goal was first class - to make that save so quickly after conceeding i n that fashion shows what a quality keeper he is and kept us in the game that we eventually won. Well done Dillon. Thanks matey - it was in your hands ,literally.

    Agreed, just a rare silly mistake and he admitted the occasion got to him and he lost concentration. Other than that, they didn’t score! Super keeper and deservedly number 1. 
  • So pleased for him. Showed great character.
  •  All players make errors but goalkeeping errors often stick out so much more.  The way he recovered for that save down to his left showed a huge amount of character, and whilst it was the wrong game to make such an error, he definitely deserves credit for the final result.  If that ball had gone in, it was probably game over.

    Sarr should never ever pass towards goal, always across

    Dillon showed great character to make that excellent save from Leadbetter so soon afterwards.

    I'm not convinced Naby recovered quite so well and wonder if the yellow card was not the only reason for his substitution.

    I think the yellow helped make the decision to take him off but I think Bowyer would have been looking at it without the booking, having Pearce as his replacement certainly made it easier.

    Have to agree that Naby got off lightly. Doesn’t look where he’s passing and hits it far too hard, straight at the goal but slightly away from Dills. Horrible error from Dills, obviously, but the perilous situation was all created by Sarr. 

    Eitherway, it didn’t matter in the end and good character from both them to push it behind them and get on with the game, in particular Dillon who went back to his usual assured self. 

    Definitely one of the players ready for the step up to the a Championship.

    I'm just so glad he won't be the one remembered for costing us promotion. Keepers are always on a hiding for nothing and by comparison forwards get off lightly.

    More than good enough for the Championship but we do need a comparable no. 2 as cover.

    Be interesting what Bowyer does for his No 2 keeper. Holy has signed for Ipswich, so he's out of the equation.

    To me the OG was 80/20 blame to Dillon as it's clearly his mistake, but Sarr's backpass was rather firmly struck, maybe it was nerves, and as others have said at the goal rather than wide of it.

    Nabs was having a bit of a tough time with Wyke as well and looked a bit vulnerable to their high wingers when Purrington pushed forward. The shape change fixed the second problem but Pearce quietend Wyke down nicely - I’m not sure Wyke won a header in the second half. I suspect Bowyer was very close to starting Pearce today anyway and the way Naby was not looking completely solid first half and then got booked made his mind up. Good decisive management. Tough on Sarr but the right call for the specifics of that match.

    I got a huge feeling this wouldnt be going this nicely here if the team hadnt turned it around for his mistake. Love the team spirit.

    Karius' mistake was comical and is tough to beat but David Seaman should be number 2 on that list given it was in the last minute and cost them the game. Lloris didn't matter as i think France were already 3 goals up. And Phillips we obviously recovered to win.

    Which Karius howler are they talking about... the pass to Benzema or the one he let through his fingers?

    Seaman that was a joke as like in the 2002 World Cup couldnt deal with a high ball which is embarrassing as a Goalkeeper

    i.e. the 2002 World Cup and Rob Green one against United States are in a way worse than any of those because they're in less pressured games than a Final
