Amongst all the come back talk, the quality of Goss and the unfair criticism of Morison I thought O'Leary was immense tonight. At least three quality saves a couple of decent punches and his handling and distribution was impeccable. Only low point was a misjudged ball that never rolled out when he expected it to but he recovered well.
Early days of course but he looks very assured and has a real touch of Henderson about him.

Agreed. Looks a top class keeper and is miles better than anyone we had last year. Great signing!

He didnβt look very clever trying to wave the ball out of play π , but yes he is excellent. So much better than last years keepers, but he seems a very different type of person to Deano, much more reserved

He looks like a really top quality keeper in all aspects of his game
Dominates his box well and a really good punch if he doesn't catch it
Excellent reflex saves and also one on one's as evidenced last night
It helps him that he has a solid defensive line in front of him
Maybe doesn't have the x-factor on Henderson but looks like less mistakes and rushes of blood to the head than him
Early days yet but I'm very impressed

Tremendous double save to keep us in it after the own goal.
As Scooter points out though, could have been a very different story when he opted to try to shield the ball out only for it not go out and leave him having to defend the ball yards out of his penalty area.
All in all a thoroughly decent performance for a young lad though.

An excellent performance, we've done well to get him. We'd have lost that game fairly comfortably with last year's main man between the sticks.

if O'Leary contiunes with this levele of keepering our number one Joe Murphy will be warming the bench for some time.

We've seen in the past two seasons the difference that a quality goalkeeper makes. The confidence it gives the whole team, the extra points won as a result. With Henderson the defence knew they could play in a more confident manner, knowing they had that protection behind them. Equally, with Arnold last season his inconsistencies and mistakes made the defence play in a much more cautious way. I think we need to be careful not to get carried away, as with Henderson we had a once in a generation goalkeeper, and we've only seen a few games with O'Leary, but this signs so far are very promising.
