Please dont try and create a different meaning to my comments! He made many mistakes after he dislodged Rakovan and didnt become solid until after a run of games and a proper defence was put in front of him.

But solid as a shot stopper is all he became, because other aspects of a goalkeepers game were just not there and i would not even see him in my top 10, never mind top 5 or even best! Your user name is interesting if that alludes to how long you have been a supporter, because in that time ive seen in no particular order....

Thats 14 before i even think about Benji, but some of those had very shaky starts as well, but they were all given time, and i think Birigitti needs that as well.
