Worth a thread for him. Thought he was superb when the pressure was on. Redeemed himself. Well done!

F*****g top drawer today, the pessimisist in me (Town fan),twice at least thought they'd scored only Grabara to pull off a cracking save.galvanised the crowd as much as the goals. Also caught well under pressure. A couple of dodgy kicks out of touch second half but we'll take that if he's keeping the ball out of the bag.
Hope he builds on that, think I forget he's only young, should give him loads of confidence. Crack on lad.

Chuffed for the lad after getting grief last week when needlessly put under pressure by his own team.
Made two great save at the end

Kept us in it with those saves in the second half. Caught aerial balls clean and punched well clear when needed, just need to polish up on his kicks up the flanks. Well done Grabs, keep it up.

Chuffed for the lad after getting grief last week when needlessly put under pressure by his own team. Made two great save at the end I agree apart from the putting him under pressure. A learning curve for what is a very young keeper at this level. Concentration needed at all times, a miss kick when under no real pressure. He'll learn providing he acknowledges a mistake, which i'm certain he will.

Did really well today. Much better with crosses.
Still can't kick though.

Fuck me. He was as good as you could expect from a second division keeper today. But all the naysayers (who, mostly weren't there) can't believe that. If anyone on here has made fewer mistakes in their job this week (otium excluded obviously) stick your hand up.

When we signed him Phil praised his kicking and said as you do. For the benefit of the perfectionists on here a couple went into touch, will be working on that side of things I'm sure.

I’ve criticised on here on more than one occasion his worrisome problem with balls through the air into his six yard box; got to take my hat off to him today as that little issue wasn’t really a problem at all as he was pretty commanding with both his punching (one I think first half) and pulling the ball out of the air from the numerous crosses. There was one right near the end from a corner when they were driving for the equaliser when I was shouting/praying for him to take it out the air; he duly did and I breathed a great sigh of relief and temporarily stopped chewing my nails!

I guess we disagree. I find around half his distance kicks being poorly aimed. I'm not saying they all go out of play or anything like that, but for example when you have Mounie and Grant split and the kick either goes to Grant or between the 2. Maybe I'm being harsh given how good Lossl was with his feet, but I find kicking is his worst attribute tbh.

I think they stood out because we could have really done with a bit of possession at that point and those kicks just gave them the ball back. Small point though, he had a great game for me.

I personally think you sign a keeper to try and keep the ball out of the net,kicking is secondary.

There were two kicks which I think we're all referring to, both landed in touch in the opposition half. Firstly, were these not Cowley tactics?percentage games? Secondly, who cares, when he made the saves he did? Thirdly, their keeper did some kind of magnetic one handed catch from a corner that left me nodding & shaking my head at the same time.

Commanded his six yard box superbly and made some great saves. So what if a few ling kicks went astray.

That one handed grab was even better when you consider the fact that it was with his "weak" hand too.

A couple of wayward kicks maybe but hey-ho. He was very commanding today, his handling excellent and he will only get better. He also has some attitude about him and isn’t afraid to pick up a yellow card every so often for time wasting. You’re right about that save from their keeper too, wonder save.

I'd concede you don't want your keeper distributing the ball to an opposition striker just outside the box. That will happen unfortunately to the best of them. The best keep errors to a minimum though. David De Gea one of the worlds best made a monumental error today, as bad if not worse than anything Grabara has done with us. Hopefully all aspects of Grabaras game will improve in time, incredible when you think he's a kid in goalkeeping terms at 20 years old. Only slight criticism of his distribution as on the whole he's ok, would be hypocritical not to mention it though considering our other keepers limitations in that regard.

He is good keeper Brice Samba. Seen him a few times recently. He made a terrific save second half to prevent a Town third. That one handed catch was cool.

Maybe I’m mistaken but didn’t one of those misplaced kicks into touch result almost directly in us forcing a corner and scoring a goal?

Doubt it's a tactic the Cowleys will encourage though.
