GrahamC Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 By my reckoning the first goalkeeper from the academy ever to appear in the first team and the first keeper to come through the club ranks to do so since Steve Phillips (yes, I know he was at Paulton but that's local to me). Anyway, best of luck to him, apart from making me feel very old (he looks about 14 if you are in your fifties) he genuinely seemed thrilled about playing for what he called his "boyhood club". Bless him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Real baptism of fire too. Imagine how he must have felt at half time! Would have learned a great deal from the experience and will improve his game. Always good to see an academy boy coming through, best of luck Max!

EstoniaTallinnRed Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 In the interview with Oskins after the game, he said he has been with City since he was 8. also that his Dad couldn't make the game today, the first game he's missed this season, so he missed his son's debut. What a shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robin1988 Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Miles better than JoJo. Could actually have a future at City. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good for him to have this experience, can only help him in the future. Step up and be the challenge to Frankie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think SC even at his grumpiest would rick it unless he had to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finbarr_in_z Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Understandably he looked nervous as hell when he came on. Took an age for his first touch (punched clearance) and even longer for the second. He did well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

View from the Dolman Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Good to see him getting a chance albeit through Frankie's injury. Seems like a genuinely decent guy, delighted to be playing for his club. Obviously a guy with sporting pedigree with his Somerset CCC connections too.

JamesBCFC Posted January 9, 2016 Report Share Posted January 9, 2016 Don't want to take anything away from Max as I don't think he did much wrong, but did he save any shots? Seemed to me they were all blocked off target or in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big decision to play a young GK in what is a crucial game. Nothing against throwing him on. My concern would be with then no cover, if he picks up a knock we would be playing with an out fielder in goal in a crtical game. Just seems a huge risk, unless there is an academy kid we can lump on the bench? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
