He's had his doubters, just like all the players at Rovers have. One minute they are excellent and overnight they are not good enough.


Sulli has come under question a few times. I think he's still one of the best in this league. He's very experienced and still seems to have agility and quick decision making. Good with the fans on and off the pitch. He will have his moments, but goalies inclusive of Van Der Saar, Valdes, Cesar et al can be made to look slack/stupid by the easiest of goals. It's the loneliest position on the pitch when things go wrong.

Sulli may turn into a DRFC 'so called' legend. I would not swap him for anyone in this league and if continues in this form, then he can go on further.

Long Live Sulli

that save at preston from paul hayes low by his left hand post and he dropped onto it and shovelled it around for the corner was jaw droppingly good

he's always good value :scarf:

It was a stonking save, timed to perfection.

Even more impressive when you consider he pulled it off whilst sporting his bulky incontinence pants.

Ooh! That's reserved for the VERY best - over a long time. Next season? If he's still there?

Naw Ian. surely any good goalie who's been around long enough to earn a standing well above average just has to be met with 'Easy for Dennis!'? Institution he was. Which is why Sully, good as he is, isn't there yet.

And Mr Dude, my memory of Dennis is probabaly just the same as yours: great saves, occasional bloody awful howlers and too much Christmas pud for each and every Boxing Day match - except Bradford City away :):):)

Cheers

Don't re,ember that name Roofer - but Paul Crichton must have been a Dennis after saving those 3 penalty kicks at Rochdale as well as several others from the 70's and 80's.
