That was up there with the best, maybe even Bank's save against Pele in the 1970 WC.

Nowhere near, but kudos for the inbuilt bias.
Great save though and match winning as much as the goal we scored!

Class like that was.

Reckon this was better than the one against Pele.
If you look at video the Coventry player who gets the header looks as if ,for a split second ,starts to celebrate a goal , it was great ball in ,text book header with power down and into corner, the save was absolutely fantastic, had to get down so quickly and to push round post was unbelievably good, long May this continue

Really was a top save.:: and the fact it was so crucial just makes it better still!
One of those that from some angles looks just good… but I think it really was a great one.
He had a lot to do. Couldn’t be sure whether their lad would flick the header or bullet it. Although it was probably the only save he had to make, he had a very influential game.

You on the wind up:
Go to about 1:15 and then you will see the Burnley/Birmingham saves from pickford.
Woodmans today doesn’t even come close

I don't think it was the best save every made by a Pne Keeper it was a good save ok which gave us 3 points but over the years many keeper's have done better etc. Still a very important one near the end tho.

Yeah, certainly not the best save I’ve ever seen but in the context of securing all three points so late in the game and a keeper that has struggled with confidence of late, it was such an important one.
Also some good saves against Watford and has really turned it around since the Oxford clanger that ultimately lost us the game there. Three clean sheets against Watford, Burnley and Coventry is no mean feat.
Fair play to the lad, likeable character and it’s great to see him back to his best.

Personally, I was disappointed he pushed the ball away, I thought he should have clutched it to his chest.
