“But you have to bounce back and he was solid, made a couple of good saves and his kicking was good. It was nice to see him back on form along with the back four.

“Goalkeepers' mistakes are always highlighted – it is an exposed position.

“He knows he made a mistake the week before but on Saturday he made some good saves that kept us in the game.

“There was no question of me dropping him.”
