A clean sheet tonight and currently ranked as the man of the match on the BBC sport website.

A lot of people judge Travers on his poor performance against Servia. However he is far better than that and was having a really successful loan at Stoke when an injury crisis forced Bournmouth to recall him. I reckon he has a big future.
I only saw MOTD highlights. One fine save, albeit one you’d expect a top flight keeper to make. Wolves’ keeper was the busier of the two.
Clean sheet was a bit flattering. Wolves had 2 goals disallowed for fringe decisions where Travers was beaten in real time. Little he could have done with either - just saying the clean sheet involved a break or two.
Seems he might get the gloves for the rest of the season - obviously that's only four more games but would be at least a bit of compensation for having his season effectively ruined by the loan recall. Would give him a chance to either stake his claim for the jersey or put himself in the shop window for a Championship move. Neto is not popular with the support at the moment and Bournemouth may be in the market for a more modern type keeper this summer (someone like Kelleher would fit the job description I suppose).

Another clean sheet and a MOTM, on the basis of votes on the BBC Football website - but only one shot on target to deal with.
Tis actually hard to tell which one will be our goalkeeper for the next few years ~ Depends on injuries ~ Whether the goalkeeper is playing first team football or not ~ Lap of the gods stuff !
His one save was brave, sliding out to stop a tight angle shot from close range.
He made a brilliant save as well in a play that was ultimately called offside — an athletic jumping save to tip a ball wide which was heading for the top corner. Great to see him putting together some good performances at Premier League level — as a pure shot stopper he may be our best ‘keeper.
