Seen him many times
Steady and unspectacular
Just what you want from a keeper really
As a man in the know, who is most likely to make it at Cov, Bilson or Tyler?

Too early to say
Keepers develop later than outfield players

Think someone said he was decent enough but needed to work on his kicking, which given the way we (and football as a whole) is played nowadays is becoming a critical part of a keepers skill set. In the modern day Oggy wouldn't have been here more than five minutes.
Great shot stopper, but makes some silly mistakes at times. Was at fault in the youth team's FA Youth Cup defeat to Cogenhoe United back in 2018 when he dropped a clanger.
That said, mistakes often o happen at youth team level. I've seen Cian Tyler slip up a few times with his footwork.
At under-23 level, they are two very good keepers. The dilemma is whether we need a third-choice keeper for the first team or if these two provide sufficient backup for the first team. Both have experience of men's football in the Southern League Central at Barwell (and Tyler at AFC Rushden and Diamonds), and Tyler has Welsh international youth team experience.
