We Said |
Coach Adam Sadler commented:
"Fraser was unbelievable tonight - he has pulled off at least ten outstanding saves and I don't know how he has made those two close range stops in the second-half.
"Fraser is thought of as the club's most improved player over the past 18 months and it's easy to see why.
"He is well on his way to becoming a top keeper and, most importantly, he has a terrific attitude to hard work.
"He can achieve whatever he wants to in the game and we're lucky to have such a fantastic talent."

The Reserves gained a creditable scoreless draw
against the league leaders at SJP on Monday night, with Magpies goalkeeper
Fraser Forster making a number of fine saves to deny the Reds.
Shola Ameobi, Andy Carroll and Kazenga LuaLua were all absent from the side
after featuring in last week's home draw with Manchester City, leaving David
Edgar as the sole player with first team experience.
Liverpool's side had a similar makeup, featuring young recruits from France,
Hungary, Paraguay, Argentina, Spain and the Netherlands.
After an early headed chance from United striker Ryan Donaldson, the visitors
carved out the better chances but failed to find a way through our defence, with
recent recruit Tamas Kadar again catching the eye.
Chances were few and far between at the other
end with Baheng screwing his shot just wide from the edge of the box two minutes
before half time.
And the French youngster also got a rare sight of goal on 54 minutes, only to
see his effort deflected wide.
The woodwork came to Forster's rescue when Krisztian Nemeth contrived to hit the
cross from six yards on 57 minutes after his initial shot had been saved.
However neither side were able to find the breakthrough on a chilly Tyneside
evening as Liverpool's six game winning run came to an end.
