You can count on the fingers of one hand the number of mistakes he's made that have cost us goals. Over two and a half seasons for any manager to say that about his goalkeeper is exceptional. He's been top quality.
More Quotes from Steve Coppell:
He's strong and when he's got a sight of goal he thinks about nothing but scoring. Whether he keeps his place and plays at the weekend, though, I don't know. Last time he was injured I was guilty of rushing him back too quickly, so we'll see how he reacts to two hours of football and take it from there.Steve Coppell
I just hope we can finish the season off in the same way we've gone all year. We had a really strong spell and we got daylight between ourselves and the rest of the pack. We've managed to maintain that distance. But I'm not saying it's become routine now.
Steve Coppell
Complacency is not on our agenda. It is certainly not our biggest danger. My players have worked very hard for what they have achieved so far. They will not allow that to creep in. Neither myself, nor the coaching staff have to do anything to prevent that. They do it themselves.

He's been injured most of the season. You saw an awful lot of pent-up emotion when he scored. He's spent a lot of time in the treatment room and gym.
Steve Coppell
When he came to us he struggled for a year. He didn't fit in to the team straightaway. When he had opportunities, he didn't do well. We were a little bit at a loss as how to bring out the best in him. I found I really couldn't help him. ... There were times last season when he was in the wilderness and very much confused as to what was required.
