Big Red Rich Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 I didn't go but for those that did, how did Chris play? It sounds like he may have been largely untroubled but it would be good to know as it was his first competitive game for a while. Would be interested to hear your thoughts.Thanks,Rich.

misterpeeuk Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 I thought he played well. A good diving save with the ball moving alot in the wind (and rain). I think he pulled off a great point blank save but it was at the other end and visibility was poor due to the driving rain and a mass of players obscuring the view. Kicking was controlled and long on a tough night for keepers. Wasn't troubled too much with crosses as there weren't many, and Keogh, Fonts and Vasko dealt with most of them. Having said this Brentford were pretty poor, but still a clean sheet on a dirty night! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exiledinwatford Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Apart from the first seconds when he nearly got in a tangle with Vasko I thought he didn't put a foot wrong. One outstanding full length save and probably half a dozen saves that were better efforts than that QPR goalie made for LJs shot on Saturday. Well done Wealie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NiceRed Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Was quite impressed with Weale last night. As said above, couldn't really see what was going on up the other end much, but made a few decent saves, if nothing overly spectacular, down our end.Also seemed to hold onto pretty much everything, which seeing how slippery the ball must have been (it was pi$sing it down most of the game), was very impressive.

Dan Of The Dolman Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Think he should start Saturday if Basso isn't able to, good save made infront of the City fans in the first half with the well hit bouncing ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NickPS - none of the saves were as good as yours against the Gas though.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 Think he should start Saturday if Basso isn't able to, good save made infront of the City fans in the first half with the well hit bouncing ball.He will play on Saturday if Basso is still out injured.Thats why Weale played last night.He looked ok against Boro' last season in the Cup but thats the only time I've seen him play.He's quite experienced having played loads of league games for Yeovil and Johnson obviously rates him as he brought to him City from his old club. I would have no worries about Weale filling for in Basso and who knows maybe he'd impress enough to keep Basso out of the side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
