TSL

[Usher wide.]

A very poor keeper who will continue to cost you points.

Couldn’t stop a pig in a passage.

Your best bet is to mount a campaign to get him out.

We’ll reluctantly take him as our No.3 choice.

A bit harsh, that.

I don't see how a team can win a league title with a very poor keeper.

The ‘clue’ is in the final sentence ss!

I really don’t understand how the metric for shots faced vs saved works, how can that even be standardised to provide anything that is meaningful?

I suspect Usher’s tongue was firmly in his cheek there Scawsby!

The post you quoted was a joke but we did win this league with Gary Woods in the net. Shows how superhuman that defensive setup under Saunders/Flynn was.

Oh dear, it looks like I've been WHOOSHED. I'm dropping some b*ll*cks on here lately with misunderstanding people's posts.

I'm blaming the cookie attacks for this.

It's not a bad stat if it shows a consistent trend over a long period of time.

I felt the GK was our weakest position last season but that TSL stood up in the last 7-10 games where it mattered in the pressure.  No doubt that his shot stopping isn't the best but that's not necessarily what's important currently in football for some reason.  Distribution though was unbelievable imo, the best I've seen.

Following his heroics in the FA cup game at Hull you could see his confidence grow and for the rest of the season he was a good reliable keeper with excellent distribution.

Confidence is a massive factor for a keeper.

I agree with that SCC, that was a big turning point for TSL - the big save and coming across and the whole away end chanting his name - for the first time of lots of times! I think TSL and TLT will come good, a bit of love and confidence and they'll be back - and we're lucky to have Lawlor who can come in and do well and give us that strong cover while Timmy has a break.

This whole situation does show that you cant judge players over short periods of time. TLT on the first loan looked to everyone that he was a world beater and should be playing in the Hull first team. This time around hes essentially looked useless. The truth is obviously in between but Hull certainly knew he wasnt a world beater thats for sure.

I disagree with this Gaz. He hasn't looked useless. He made some very good stops in first few games, saves that IMO TSL wouldn't have made. Then there have been some incidents that I think people are making into kore than they were, for example the punch against Wigan that went to the edge of the area, we had 11 players between the player and the goal, yet when it goes in people on here slating Tim. I said at the time it wasn't an error, an error would be missing the punch or scuffing it.

All calling for the chop then against Spurs low and behold that exact error is made and not a peep.

TLT is a better keeper than TSL. But TSL is lightyears ahead on distribution.

Opinions hey.

Several posters mentioned the poor punch by Lawlor which led to the first Spurs goal.
