Trott's saves

Sat Aug 23, 2025 8:03 pm

Brilliant saves today and has rightly been praised by many, wouldn't have won that game without him.

But with all the saves he's made since he joined, what I like is he pushes the ball away from goal or out for a corner - when possible.

In recent years, we've conceded a lot of goals by the goalkeeper pushing it out right in front of the goal so the opponents have another good chance.

Great start by him.

He looks really controlled with the ball at his feet as well. Punched it when needed which was really good too.

Our clean sheet run is a lot because of him. I liked Turner first game but I think this guy looks the read deal.

Weird there was a point made of all his loans.

Absolutely class.
Looks like a bit of a sweeper keeper

He did say quality over quantity and this one has been just that.

Let’s hope he can get the player he wants.

Good times ahead I’m sure.

The runaway winner of Man of the Match in a game where several would normally have been in the frame! :clap:

I doubted him replacing Turner after the first game, but i can now see what BBM saw, and he’s been a class addition! :ayatollah:

I have to be honest when trott played his first game I thought Turner was unlucky to be dropped
I have to say trott has been a breathe of fresh air at goalie which I think has been a weakness of our team for quite a while

Been solid every game so far, but yesterday he was just outstanding, some unbelievable saves, though in long spells we played well yesterday, without him would have been a different story for sure.

BBM certainly got the first signing spot on !

Loved the comment from a Luton fan after the game who is going to report us to the RSPCA for fielding an Octopus in goal.

Class, he's helping the defence massively, helps them stay composed and confident, they know he's there to help when needed, and he will claim anything in his space. It's like having five at the back, but one of them also has gloves and can catch the ball.

When teams try to press and close the gaps, they use him as another defender; it makes such a difference and allows us to play it out from the back without the fear factor.

Outstanding performance played a key part in those 3 pts which put us Top Of The League :thumbup:

Spot on. Great post. Feel so much more relaxed when the opposition attacked to last season!!
