The Names Moore, Simon Moore

[Good Pinch Of Snuff]

what a keeper ! MOM for me - 12 points and we continue

 

[IMABLADE]

First clean sheet, and well done to him

 

[SouthEssexBlade]

 

[Bridge Blade]

Like a breath of fresh air this lad.

 

[Bladesman]

Finally good to get a decent keeper in. We have been missing one since Kenny.

 

[INTAKE BLADE]

Did you mean Kelly bladesman only kidding
Great to have confidence in a keeper again.

I liked Paddy, shame he left us the way he did.

it is what we have needed for a while but unfortunately that means there is no way back for Long. I expect he will get moved on in January.

 

[gavtheblade]

Could be the season definer a good keeper.
Six seasons to late.a master stroke from the manager.

 

[Preecey]

Both keepers made some outstanding saves. I think Ebanks-Landell deserves a mention, thought he was an absolute tank today, stepped forward a number of times to make some crucial blocks - something that has been lacking. Well played to Moore though, MotM.

 

[Kozzy_is_my_Dad]

Breathes confidence into the rest of the side.

 

[PokerBlade]

First time he's had a tough game and had a real chance to impress me. And he did. Two saves he had no right to make, and claimed every cross that came near him.

 

[Ricky]

Didn't put a foot wrong. Saved everything he had to, handled everything perfectly, came off his line well to clear.

And he'll only get better.

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Got confidence oozing out of his every orifice.

Quality shot stopper too.

 

[S5Blade]

Is he worth 250k outlay yet?

 

[BouncinBlade]

How nice is it to come on the forum and see bags of positivity!! Well done Blades!

 

[Stretch]

Utterly superb today. Finally we seem to have a keeper who can command his area, read the game, martial his defence and make crucial saves.

Let's face it, with Long in goal we would have conceded 2 or 3 today.

 

[BladeInIreland]

A keeper capable of winning us more points the he will cost. Essential for a good side.

 

[PeteBlade]

Such a good decision to replace the woeful Long.

Could be crucial by the end of the season.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

We haven't had a good keeper for years, probably one of the major reasons we are still in L1. This lad has already won us points, points that will be needed to go up.

 

[Deadly_D'Jaffo]

Is he worth 250k outlay yet?

He paid it back today IMO. You can tell he inspires confidence into the defensive line.

We got cut apart by a threatening Peterborough side in the 2nd half and he stopped us from losing that game.

 

[ForgeBlade]

Said to my dad at the end of the match that I thought that was the best 90 minutes from a Blades keeper that I've seen since Kenny left. Made some crucial (and outstanding) saves, came to collect any number of high balls that Long would have flapped at, and looked calm and confident throughout.

I'll be the first to say I had my doubts about spending a lot of £££ on a keeper, but he's starting to pay it back. Looks like a top signing.

 

[Snowman]

Don't know about whether Long would have conceded or not but those of us who can tell what is and what is not a keeper feel vindicated. However, Lets see how we are at the end of the season. Plenty of time for a few costly ricks even though he "looks the part" at the moment.

 

[JohnDenver]

Did we get cut apart? They had plenty of shots from distance but only one clear chance in that half which Moore saved brilliantly.

Not to say Moore wasn't very good, but Posh rarely got round the back of us.

 

[Ballinpigpubs13]

That save about 15 minutes from the end - take a bow son.

 

[originaltrueblade]

At last a keeper that does his job right UTB

 

[jt64]

Not to say Moore wasn't very good, but Posh rarely got round the back of us.

Seemed to be more or less my read as well. One great save but the rest were basically outside the box speculation that he should deal with, and did. Was more impressed with his claiming of the ball and command of his defence really.

Second whoever said Ebanks-Landell had a good game, was also excellent. Their keeper was decent as well to be fair.

 

[Harry's Game]

The most important position in the side, it's took us seven years since Paddy left to sort it out but we've got there at last.

Having to watch George The Flower Seller seems like some distant horrible nightmare now.

 

[blade too long]

got to give it to CW
he came in had a good look , at the guardian of the goal position
thought , we,ll spend a bit of what we've got on someone decent
and we are getting the dividends from it

It is a position that can determine a season. Long was adequate last year but he had to push on this season to be the player we needed. He went the backwards instead. Let's hope Moore stays fit and confident.

 

[Slug]

Outstanding today. We would have lost that game with Long or Howard in the net without a doubt. Superb
