Quote from: donnievic on March 06, 2013, 11:55:04 amDo then hooka which keeper would you bring in??? Shouldn't you be asking an experienced scout who has many contacts that question i.e. the manager ?We have struggled for a long time with this position even when Sulli was here.We need 2 decent keepers at this level, many have pointed that out for years and 3 managers have overlooked this important position ; it's not even as if the keeper is the highest paid player in the squad is it ?

It certainly WAS his fault for the first goal from where I was sat (right behind it), failing to hold on to a shot to his right and with them then scoring off the fumble. BUT, there were numerous other errors on top of that, including an early sign of things to come when he wavered on a cross that was flashed across the goal from his right, getting caught in no-man's-land accordingly and being lucky that the MK forward, having got goal side of his man, failed to connect with his head. There was also the double whammy the same half when he managed only to parry a ball he'd tried to catch, then punched the resulting effort a full 3 yards before a defender cleared it. As he was lining up for the free kick which hit the post, it was plain as day from behind the net as MK were lining it up that he'd positioned himself too far to his left, and it was by pure good luck that the resulting rebound and scramble ended up in his grasp. He's certainly devoid of confidence, and while I would love the lad to come good, it surely must be time to get someone better in.give you the one he spilled which he recovered but the others one was hit across with pace which everyone missed snmd the one he punched not sure how you expect him to catch the ball when going over jones or McConnell for the ball.As for the free kick where do you think he should be standing out of interest????Sum others there don't even know the rules shouting at their keeper to stop time wasting when he has it on the floor in open play ,not upto him to get rid in the so called 6 second rule.

Have you noticed when he dives, it's the kind of rigid dive with eyes closed and it seems to be a token gesture when it's too late. He has the prowess and technique of a plank.
I'm just thinking that had the boot been on the other foot and their keeper had made that parry then I would have been praising our striker to being alert enough to follow through, rather than thinking their keeper had fluffed it, so I aint gonna give him too much grief for that one. I mean yes ultimately it's a mistake as he hasn't held it or pushed it round the post, but it's not one I'd expect most keepers to handle effortlessly.
BRR, I hope he does read this thread, decides to shut me and everyone else up for good, steps his game up and wins us 10+ points on his own between now and the end of the season! That'd be the ideal outcome!
He can read?Jeez I take it all back.
