Yes, definitely! Definitely the first to play for us in a league game today.
I also saw one in the bank last week too.

I dont give a fook he did that well he needs a run. Black pink Irish I really couldnt care Coventry has given a home to all nationalities and he was great today! Even when he was bullied to drop the ball in the first 5 mins by their striker he didnt even blink. Fair play to the lad playing for this great city.
3 nil happy days.

In terms of ccfc goalkeeping it could be a case of once you go black you dont go back...

Pretty sure first black keeper in this country was Alex Williams Man City in the mid eighties.

Absolutely go along with those sentiments. Except if one turned up with a claret and blue skin tone. Then that really would be extracting the Michael.

Jeez! Does it really matter what a bloke's skin colour is? He's a goalkeeper. That's it!

I remember Alex Williams I think it was at man city and pretty awful too I recall, it was unusual back then but not at all now.
I thought he was teriffic too today, troubled little and a nice debut to have, but I felt much more comfortable with him between the sticks. I've not been calling for burge to be dropped and he too has improved,but I like the look of rcc and think he could push on and claim the spot as his own.

Very confident caught the ball well and his distribution is far better and quicker than Burge (after the first kick), he wasn't really tested but that isn't his fault.
I did feel the fans gave him more support than Burge gets.

No he didn't just not the first thing that was on my mind

I didn't even know he was black until it was mentioned in this thread.

Exceptional debut, he gave me confidence which Burge hasn't all season. Great stuff.

Exceptional debut? No. I can't remember him having a save to make.
He done what he had to do and will be replaced as soon as Burge is 100%.

Why should he be replaced? Does someone have a little bit of a crush?

Well they did have 6 shots, and yes he had an exceptional debut, the ball stuck to him like glue, he caught the ball every time it came to him, his kicking was far better than Burge too. Was you asleep?

Exceptional no, decent yes. He was largely untested yet dealt with everything he needed to deal with. Our scale of rating a player on here is hilarious.
