Yes, and we all recall how tall Clayton was - O'Donnell is not that sort of man-mountain is he? They're not really comparable if you use your (coco)nut.
According to a quick Google search, they're the same height at 6'2", so I'd say its very comparable. The thing Ince had was more confidence and experience.
Oh, and O'Donnell is about 3 inches taller than Walker, who didn't lack confidence in coming for crosses when he was the same age.
Clayton was a big bloke sideways too though, you wouldnt wanna be in the way of him coming at ya.
Like you say, its confidence, but sometimes young goalies have too much i think. Coming for crosses miles out, its all about learning when to be confident.
