    Good shout. Macca was awesome with Swales and how I wish we still had them both now at their best for us.

    Good point, which brings me back to “flapping” keepers.

    Pollitt was also a bit flappy, not great at collecting crosses, then along came Swailes and McIntosh and things changed

    It’s as though they told him “ concentrate on shot stopping, we will deal with the corners and crosses”

    From then on he got better

    A good partnership of two central defenders will always calm any keeper. They’re like his generals stood in front of him.... nothing will get through.
