Great keeper apart from penalties! I have said it before but if you take a penalty right (as in smash it on target into the side of the net ) no keeper will ever save it , simple ! It’s the goalies job to do his research and or be ready for when someone hits it too close or tries the old give him the eyes trick …. Seny is absolutely shocking at this and needs to realise bouncing about giving it large don’t work on anyone . Unless he gets good success with this tactic in training ?
Seny as a stopper … please er. Stop !

Actonman, you are right. Dare I add that the target is eight yards wide and eight feet high and with the ball stationary, no professional footballer should miss that target from twelve yards away?

I hope the GK coaches are making use of a Blazepod Flash Reflex trainer or similar for the keepers. They are a fairly inexpensive piece of kit but F1 drivers and boxers swear by them for improving reflexes. I tried the one at Williams about 5 years ago and managed 51 in 60 seconds. Jenson Button managed 112 in 60 seconds. I would imagine some enlightened cricketers would avail themselves of a system like this.
The grass is always greener.

I'd imagine they would be, Esox. They're fairly standard now.
The Red Sox designed their own back in 2010 and the first player that blew it away was Mookie Betts. It formed a huge part of their discussions when deciding whether to draft him.
Ah, Mookie......where have you gone.....

I think Dieng is a very good keeper and better than Kelly or Lumley. However, I don't think he has improved since he became a first team regular. He is not near as good as Smithies in his pomp.

Ha ha!
I only went to a handful of matches before Seaman so he was the first keeper I ever really knew. Seny has always reminded me of him. It's the way he distances himself from the fans. It's a stark contrast to Lumley who was far too pally with us.

His antics during the penalty shoot out were pathetic and unprofessional, he yelled at the first penalty taker 'C'mon' so the first penalty taker did C'mon and duly dispatched his penalty, from then on he proceeded to jump up and down waving his arms for the remaining penalty's.
The rest Is history.
If your a GK facing penalty's surely you concentrate on the ball? If your halfway up in the air when the kick is taken that's It your fcked.
He's a good GK but in my bad books at the moment.
Not in my bad books anymore.
