Class. I bet it’s a lovely pay rise for the lad also :emoticon-0103-cool: Fully deserved

Absolutely.

The lad proved me totally wrong, I didnt think he was loud enough to organise our defence and thought he'd cave after a while.

I'm not sure how much Neil's style of football helped him but I'm full of admiration for the lad.

We have some good local lads here don't we.
 
Absolutely.

I thought he struggled away at Wycombe in early January… Fast forward 3 months and he couldn’t have been any more composed against them in a big game at Wembley. He really impressed me that day, commanding of his box was superb.

Not for even one millisecond did I think Vokes was scoring. I can't remember being as confident in a keeper for a long time.

early impressions...

i thought he looked a little lost, like a rabbit in headlights but liked his decision making in coming for balls...did not have the best start but that could be said for the entire team around the time.

now, i think he just looks the part, really composed and never seems to be in a panic, knows when to come for a ball and when to let it go...my main worry in the play off final was the way they would 'bully' keepers at corners, maybe they had to back off a wee bit with having VAR or maybe (and what i prefer to think) patto just handled them really well and got them out of the way enough to get a fist to the ball, i have no problem if he is our first choice lad but a good back up will be needed of course.
