Sunderland Clever Trevor Carson: Take A Bow Bonnie Lad

On loan Sunderland Keeper Carson is certainly a lucky black cat for the up and coming Imps who will retain his services until April 23rd. Clever Trevor Carson kept us in the game against Chesterfield more than making up for his 12th minute gaff. He also starred in the games against Hereford Utd (9 stops) Morecambe (7 stops) and Cheltenham (7 stops). His clean sheets against Port Vale,  Hereford and Morecambe  have also been a contributing factor in the Imps mercurial, nat magnificent, rise from 24th to 15th in League 2. Let offs thanks to Sincil' s safest hands in Soccer radiate beyond the back four  and galvanise the entire stadium as well as what is becoming a proper and proud team.

Carson is also an inspirational charismatic sub captain to the team, marshalling his back four superbly.  Lets be honest leadership by example - someone throwing his body in front of a ball travelling at over 40 miles an hour, does tend to focus the minds of your peers. But then a desire perhaps aided and abetted by conscience - the need  to make up for an aberation, faux pas or shortcoming - is what ytuly kept us in the game on Saturday. Five minutes after gifting them the first he kept us in the game with a fabulous penalty save to his left. Then we had that incredible diving save to his left from Davies downward dead cert header. Gordon Banks in digital technicolour there but he made another, equally agile and imperitive stop, in front of the Passionistas in the second half too.

Trevor has been fantastic in his first 9 games for the Imps making 40 saves, just 29 less than out of favour Anyons (21 games 69 saves 4 clean sheets) managed over a rather unforgettable League season between the sticks.  Not only is Trevor a great keeper but he showed just the sort of strength of character we need at our football club in the future. Accepted he wont be here forever but it is believed Steve Tilson and Paul Brush already have a short list of keepers ready to speak to in the summer when Carson makes a move to a top Championship club at the very least judging by his undeniable ability.
