    Hmm, not sold yet tbh. 

    Few flappy moments today.

    Ooh harsh. Arguably could have done better with the goal but made one absolutely superb save, a few decent ones and commanded his area well.

    Very unlike you focus on a potential negative just after one of our best wins in years.

    Thought he looked very good, good shot stopper, stayed calm under pressure and claimed crosses.

    He's positioning was excellent throughout the match, the number of headed or lofted chances that just floated straight into his arms with minimal effort was a joy to behold

    Has incredible reflexes. The save from Mukasa was excellent.

    Yeah probably could have done better with the Goal, and thats the problem Wrexham fans highlighted
    But for the most part I felt very comfortable when he collected any ball

    This has to be a joke surely?

    That was a worldy save that he made in the second half..... great distribution with his throws out and every ball in he catches.

    Big saves! Been with us a couple of days.

    Thought he did well and exuded calm. Yes perhaps could have done better with the goal but also made a great save and excellent position / reading. Distribution, especially rolling / throwing it out, much better than I expected. I love a keeper that comes off his line and claims within the six yard box but that’s not him nor is it how we play so I’ll accept it.

    A good debut, felt confident with him there.

    Exactly how @Weegie Addick sees it. He had a blip but other than that he had plenty of ticks in the positive column.

    He seems very calm which is great….forgot how tall he is…tipped the ball over the bar without jumping in one instance

    If anyone is taking any negative out of big Arts performance today, you really need to ask yourself why you are doing that. Let’s not make stuff up just to be negative.

    Superb debut.

    Not necessarily for the saves he made - although there was one outstanding one - but for the fact he just looked so cool and calm all match.

    I'd be amazed if Wrexham's other 2 keepers are better than him.

    He was always in the right place at the right time. Pulled off some great saves and looked calm doing so. And, through sheer size and presence, he “saved” that penalty onto the post without getting anywhere near it! Taty bottled it when he saw big Arthur.

    Tend to agree he should have done better for the goal - was a soft shot and he pushed it back into a dangerous area.

    But did well apart from that, and he's been here 2 days so Will cut him slack on the goal!

    Best keeper we've had in donkeys years...and yes I'm saying that after seeing one game!

    Certainly thrown into the deep end today. Very happy to have him  and an unscored pen for his save record.

    I liked the look of him today. You sometimes just feel calm with certain keepers, and he gave that impression. Like how quickly he looked to release the ball, his calm handling, and he did well when passing round the back. 

    However (sorry), I thought his long range kicking was really poor. Overhit quite a few and way wide of the mark on others. But one of our best recent (ever?) keepers was like that and we did ok with him.

    Thought he looked decent, whether he is good enough for us in the Premier League, who knows; so probably just as good it's a season long loan.

    He brings a degree of athleticism to the party that Kaminski and Mannion simply do not have in their lockers.
    Happy to have Mannion as second choice though.

    I thought he did well except for the goal. I'm sure people will take this well but it reminded me a little of a Kaminski performance; generally fine, a mistake for a goal and one outstanding save. The big difference from here will be that all keepers make mistakes, it's how regular they are and how he recovers. He looked very calm and I felt fairly confident with him there. It also goes to show that the reality is there isn't a keeper alive who always makes a save and pushes it away from danger; sometimes it's all they can do to make the save and what happens after is a bit of a lottery. I'm happy to have him

    Was a pretty reflex save just before the goal but he could have maybe pushed it behind for a corner, too close to close and quick for him to catch imo
