He looks small and as others were commenting around me yesterday, in the pre match huggle fest he was noticeably shorter than some of the players. We must have big players.
Looking at the available heights on the web page he was the tallest player on the pitch for us in the 1st half by about 3 to 4 cms.
Like I said, I would question them stats.
Either way, presence wise, he genuinely looked like a fish out of water and "school boy". He needs to improve and fast, otherwise, I can see our fan base destroy the poor lad. I hope he is amazing, because if Sam Walker is plan B then we need to be thinking up a plan c and fast.
It must be the way that teenage keepers stand as both Virginia and Boyce-Clarke look small when stood in the goal but the stats say otherwise. Perhaps they look 'slight' rather than 'short' but there seems to be agreement that they don't fill the goal.
I imagine yesterday's game could be the biggest crowd Virginia has played in front of and Chelsea are a top side so perhaps he was a little awestruck?
So long as the crowd get behind him, rather than on his back then I am sure he will be fine.
