According to then News, his trial was ended after the management team at Portsmouth saw his Youtube video. I'm watching it and I think he looks a fairly decent keeper, reliable and a good shot stopper even if he does like to punch. Here's the video so you can decide: [video=youtube;U1nqdqC_DJE]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U1nqdqC_DJE[/video] He makes an excellent save at around 5:50 and a good double save around 6:40. Would have been good to give him a proper test in a game situation I think.
I can see where they are coming from; a lot of fans questioned his ability when it was announced he was on trial and the clip surfaced, I think it is probable that we dodged a bullet there. Rumor has it we are close to securing a deal with a young Reading keeper, and that Preece is meant to be pretty decent as well
I have to query the basis on which they invited him in the first place if what they saw on a video was enough for them to make a decision. Btw Pompeylapras FYI - David James is training with Exeter FC.
In a heartbeat Jake. If nothing else he would give us a bloody good laugh - which you must admit we really need at the moment.
