dean gaining keeper saves sitting valuable
There has not really been a lot going on for Stephan, he has not had many saves to make. I want to have a look at him. He is a young keeper and is gaining valuable experience. When Dean comes back he will be sitting on the bench, he has not done that before.

I think we needed it. In the first half we looked very nervous, very edgy. But we got the goal on the break. Confidence is a big thing in football. This run we've had has been hard to take.
