just watched the highlights on the telegraph website and have to say charles-cook really does look like the real deal.

Have watched him up the ricoh and he comes and takes the ball with such confidence & his hands look solid! his distribution is also great ( helped no doubt by the fact he was an outfield player before becoming a keeper - watch his warm ups with the main team, his ball skills are unreal for a keeper! )
Now last night i see him coming out and closing down for one on one body saves, getting up high & holding onto the ball on a long range shot, where many keepers would make the save look spectacular by throwing an arm up & pushing the ball over ( which is what i expected him to do). To have the confidence & abilty to get two hands to it & hold onto it - preventing a corner - is the kind of thing that takes the pressure off the defense, and its those little things that make the difference between a clean sheet & possibly conceding from the resulting corner.
top marks to this young man, keep him between the sticks!
