Thread | The Double Save
at 22:32 9 Oct 2026
Absolute quality.
As I said on the match thread, it's a poor penalty, but that shouldn't take away from the superb goalkeeping.
So much to admire.
1) Taking loads of time at the side of the goal to have a drink (probably read/remember his notes on Bowen's penalty habits and technique), adjust the gloves, socks etc. make him wait. telling that Bowen rushed his peno. Might have been down to impatience, might have been caused in part by Charles making him wait.
2) Charles didn't predict, he reacted. Always the best option.
3) He read Bowen's run-up superbly.
4) Fine deflecting save down low
5) Because the peno is close to him, he had no hope of deflecting it around the corner. It was always going to rebound into the danger zone
6) Which made for the best part of the whole double save - the incredible strength and agility to be up and into the set-up for the second save.
I can't take my eyes of 00:32 to 00:34.
Amazing goalkeeping.

There always seemed to be loads of them, but that was just the baggy coats and flares. |

Could listen to him all day.
I'm on the fence about whether Kolli's situation requires so much airing, though. No matter what Stéphan, or anyone else says, it leaves more gaps for conjecture and supposition among the fanbase. |

Great stuff as ever, Andrew.
Easy to understand, but will read it again a few times just for it to sink in.
Thank you, and thanks all at LFW Towers. |
