Taxi for Long

[Blade56]

why, brilliant save just bad luck the rebound off his hand

 

[Davie Blade]

4.30 onwards
Still not commanding his area!
In fairness there's a hell of a whip on the corner!

Then some awful communication mix up. for the 2nd

 

[mattbianco1]

That's so unlucky that first goal. Would've been a fantastic save

 

[Fulwood Blade]

for the ones that saw Long in the juniors, he DID command his area.

It seems to have been coached out of him.

UTB

yes agreed fulwood i followed the under 18s all the way and he was very positive didnt always catch it but cleared the danger in and around the danger area his confidence will come back hopefully with experience.These loan moves will do him the world of good all players and goalkeepers get mental strength from these moves,magahey will have come back better for his move to tranmere for even though he didnt do well the experience is invaluable.

 

[Liaminho9]

A lot of Motherwell fans were commenting on how well he was commanding his area early in his loan spell...

 

[Silent Blade]

Just seen your age in your profile and you are not the same age as Brian who is 77 and he always goes to Academy matches so you are not him then! I left after a hour and shook hands with him also saying bye

There weren't many of us there!

 

[Silent Blade]

True. Saw you at the front near John Garrett

Seen this really good interview with Long on the Motherwell you tube channel. He seems to have matured and comes accross as very confident and less of a young boy than in previous interviews I have seen. I would have him in our net next season. In fact, he should be there now!

What is the typical attendance for a u21 game, just out of interest?

Surely you're not suggesting he should replace Howard based on an interview?

 

[moDtheGod]

I guess he means instead of Turner, as Howard's understudy.

 

[Bladepicker]

No not replace Howard but Turner. And based on his performances and what he can do.

The interview showing his growing maturity and confidence in front of the media is a good thing too for a young 'keeper who's main issue was communication at times and I thought it would be good to share it for those who may not have seen it.

Yup. Though if he did well I wouldn't be against putting him in from next season if he can prove himself up to it. Howard 1, Long 2 for me right now.

What was he doing on the edge of the D in the first place though?

 

[mark hones]

Was that a real game? Terrible standard looking at that, looked like playground football where they kick the ball anywhere then run after it.

Less than a hundred at last Thursday's match, I think
