Won 4 or 5 headers which is trademark for him now. Tad rusty on the ball but to be expected. Great to see him back.How was Greg Leigh's cameo btw - did he look fully recovered?
No, you won't be able to see them.So the really short ones must be Liam Kellys'.

That's a very young crowd!
Not the easiest conditions for a keeper, particularly at our ground where the wind and rain swirls. I thought the same but put it down to the conditions for this one.Not the most convincing of performances. Flapped at a soft cross, looked to be very edgy receiving the ball to feet and got away with a few loose kicks. He‘s a keeper who stays on his line too, thought he could have come out a few times and cleaned everyone out but chose to stay on his line.
Nightmare conditions for a keeper. I'm not judging him under those.
And to offer a contrasting view, I was actually quite impressed with him last night. Awful conditions for him and sure he shanked a few kicks - but so did a number of outfield players too.
In the first half in particular we kept putting him under pressure unnecessarily with poor back passes and he generally coped ok. Kane put in a number of difficult crosses into a crowded penalty and I thought he held his own. One punch out from under the bar when he had two Barnsley players converging on him was great. He also had a couple of squirming shots along the wet turf that he handled well too.
I’m still not convinced that our January business has been much good at all, but I do think for right now Cumming is a good upgrade on Beadle.
Some of those back passes to him were so ponderous by our defenders and telegraphed. Rather than a quick pass back both Moore and Brown do their little sideways shuffle routine with the ball then pass it to Cummings who is under pressure straight away.And to offer a contrasting view, I was actually quite impressed with him last night.

That's right, he was put under unnecessary pressure by those around him making poor choices.Some of those back passes to him were so ponderous by our defenders and telegraphed.

I’m not sure Beadle would have been able to do much better.
