Just Back

Quoted from Mappers

I do remember the other new advisor guy saying in an interview he 'had a big one '

It's a bold claim but they do say you need to sell yourself in an interview situation.

I'm shocked to see the comments about Eastwood being ' flappy ' and comparing him to Jimmy Mac. Jimmy Mac was called flappy because everytime he came for it, 99% of the team he made a mess of it. Eastwood was very assured every time he came for it last night and got a firm punch on it everytime, which when your challenging a 6 foot 5 shithouse like Matt Smith I think that's a pretty wise decision. Given the Rochdale comments about him, he seems to be a new man and a very very good signing.

Firstly great performance full of positives but on the subject of Eastwood, he seems to punch as his default and I think some crosses could have been caught and he got away with a few. On the plus side his control of a rocket back pass from Amos was great. An execellent over all performance with more to come I am sure. Utm

I thought there was only one he might have caught, and the other ones he palmed away he did well with. Had a really good game last night and made a great save second half. For a couple of the awkward ones he may have reasoned that if he committed to the catch under pressure of bodies and dropped, this would be more hazardous than just getting a firm fist/palms on it to get it shifted. Seems pragmatic to me.

He kept a clean sheet, so he can do what he likes for me, if that's the end result!

Eastwood looks the real deal to me . Massive up grade on crocombe in all areas for me

Just on Eastwood 2 clean sheets in 3 games if he keeps that up we will be alright 👍

I remember Eastwood being excellent in his first spell here and was suprised by the mixed reaction on the fishy about his return
Definitely an upgrade on Max

I think it was based on Rochdale fans views and a couple of highlight reels with numerous errors .

I have been pleasantly suprised - he seems to have good command and confidence .He has much better distribution than Max on the basis of these early games .

Max could well get his chance at Burton now as he came on in the first half last night as their first choice keeper Jamal Blackman went off injured. Not sure how badly he was injured but Max will probably get his chance in their next game if Blackman's not fit.
