From Mac in the second half. I've seen some goodies in all the years I've been going, but that was right up there.
Well played fella

    Kept us in the game, as good as a goal!

    Probably his only real save of the night wasn't it as well?

    Managed to catch a couple of crosses but had a relatively quiet night

    brilliant save - however he is still let down by his distribution, he threw one out to Washington in the second half and Connor would've been away on the half way line....except he threw it straight out of play

    There was the near post shot from Smith just before it as well, would be expected to save that though.

    The save from the header was first class. He's taken a bit of stick from some but I think he's a good keeper, his distribution can be a bit wayward at times but overall I think there's not a huge amount of difference between him and Amos.

    Still not as good as Pettersons v Palace back in the 90s

    That was very frustrating

    The difference between him and Amos is that Amis is very good at coming off his line and catching crosses but maybe Mac is a better shot stopper, both have poor distribution

    Mac is also blonde and not ginger. Big difference between the two.

    Good reactions by the photographer too to be fair (yes I know there's tech etc to make it easier now but that's a very good shot of a very brief moment.)

    In fairness, it went out in their half, still some throw.

     The problem was last night that from the start of the second half.whenever the ball went out,Rotherham were taking an age to bring it back in.!
    We,,d probably do the same. tbf But our ball retention was pretty poor in the last third and we kept gifting them this advantage.

    He has poor box command, which is more important imo. Sorry to slate Charlton's number 1 but AS A GOALIE who's rubbish in the air as well I can tell you, it's why I've never reached the highest level either

    I also think that most professional keepers would have saved that. Stick an arm up and it's straight at you, just a matter of keeping the wrist strong, and all pro keepers have decent reflexes. Truly brilliant saves usually involve full-length dives (see Ramsdale at the weekend) as well as quick reflexes and a strong hand

    Ok, you don't like him. We get it.

    He's fine. I was having kittens every time Rotherham had a set-piece but our defenders dealt with them

    Honestly, don't think it is that amazing. I'd be disappointed if he didn't save it.

    Questioning his command of the area and distribution is fair enough, I think most of us would agree on it but insinuating that save was just routine is madness.

    Good save but it’s one of them ones where I’d have question marks over him if he didn’t save it. It’s not a save I’m going to remember for very long

    It wasn't routine, but it was nothing particularly extraordinary. I could go back over the last two seasons and find at least twenty saves by Charlton keepers with a higher degree of difficulty. I'll say that his positioning and awareness enabled him to be in a position to make the save, and I'll also say that most keepers would have been happy to push it over the bar rather than back out (which makes MacG's version slightly worse ;)) but it was nothing you wouldn't expect of a pro

    That's piss easy.  I have made hundreds better than that!  However that was safely tucked in bed dreaming i was Sam Bartram...

    good save, but for my part one that I would expect a professional keeper  to save 9/10 times .. it was a bullet header almost straight at him,  within an arm's length and took a good reflex save to keep it out .. put it like this, IF it had resulted in a goal, I would have blamed the keeper for not saving it

    That header an isolated positive in Ladapo's pathetic and embarrassing pantomime of falling over and squealing like a bitch anytime a red shirt came near him.  Why the berk resorts to such childish flimflam is baffling cos he's actually quite capable but prefers to cheat.

    Booting the ball into Pearce’s face from point blank range was the best MacGillivray contribution last night, but that save was very good. I completely disagree with anyone who thinks it’s nothing special for a 3rd division ‘keeper.
