Ramsgate goalkeeper Tom Halder enjoys his busiest-ever game during 5-0 FA Cup Second Round defeat at League 2 AFC Wimbledon

It’s not often a goalkeeper concedes five goals and earns plenty of praise for his performance.

But that was the case for Ramsgate’s Tom Hadler as he was the busiest man on the pitch at Plough Lane on Monday night.

The 27-year-old former Gillingham and Maidstone keeper produced a string of excellent saves to ensure a respectable scoreline as Rams lost 5-0 to League 2 AFC Wimbledon in the FA Cup Second Round.

“I never like losing,” said Hadler “It’s a tricky balance as yes, I’ve made lots of saves, and I am happy.

“To make saves in a packed stadium under the lights and in front of the cameras is great but we lost. It’s always a tough one to reconcile.

“That was the busiest I’ve been in a competitive game. It was a good feeling to make lots of saves and be a big part of the night.

“You never like conceding goals, it’s horrible, and as a team it hurts us as we’re, thankfully, used to winning and are doing well in the league.

“It hurts to concede but obviously when there’s an opportunity to make a save, I try to do that, and tonight I’ve had quite a lot of opportunities. You can’t be upset at coming to a side like this and losing after our run, we gave it a good go.

“Football is a funny game. I missed out on certain opportunities and there were frustrating things at Maidstone last year for sure, but it is what it is. This was a great occasion to be part of and I think we’re going to go on and do great things at Ramsgate and I want to be a big part of that.

“It’s just a good place to be, I don’t think anyone can argue with a club that has 1,400 away fans and we can still hear them now outside the ground while we’re talking. It’s brilliant.”

Once the result was decided, the final scoreline was somewhat irrelevant. But Hadler
