TLT

[GazLaz]

Has has a habit (technical fault) where he parries the ball into dangerous areas after making a save. He did it again yesterday, just lucky it went to one of our men.

he did it last nite with the only save he had all match. Sends it forwards to a waiting striker in stead of sideways to safety..

Yes, I thought that at the time.

Yep me too.
I wrote about this trait of his a couple of weeks ago.

If you watch the warm ups, Lawlor is very reluctant to catch the ball as well.  Is it something that is being actively coached?

[Chris Black come back]

Think it comes naturally to Lawlor, no need for coaching.

As I said… Chesterfield high lifted the fact TLT parties shots back into the danger area. Video attached.

To be fair to him it wasn’t the easiest shot to get out of the danger area but could have done better.

They highlighted & he parried.

Your link doesn’t appear to be working?

Apart from that all good except, we could all do ‘better’ couldn’t we?

Catch instead of parrying, check for predictive text before sending.

Looking at their goal in isolation, I agree with McCann that it was more than anything a good save. It was a powerful shot that came from behind a screen of players and was heading low. Not an easy shot to see or save. He parried and they scored but it was a good save that our defenders should maybe have reacted to quicker. He may parry easier shots when he can do better, but their goal was fundamentally just a good stop from him initially.

Always nice to have some context behind posts.

Or between them in this case

Analysis is not really best served in isolation though is it. It was a clean strike from Liam and a decent save, but will TLT think he could have done a bit better dealing with it? I think so. The percentage of saves he makes that steer the ball back into the danger area is too high. That’s just a fact. By doing that and teams being aware of it, means there is an increased likelihood of them following in shots, thus increasing the chances of them scoring from situations like last night that are situations that are not necessarily total howlers.

[Spilsby Red]

That was a great save. Hit very hard and about 8 yards out and players in front of him. Give him some credit.

[Barmby Rover]

Modern goalkeeping is crap. And it is all down to coaching, goalies (not just TLT) are incapable of catching a ball in the air, and are incapable of smothering a ball when a shot comes in. Punches and parries just set you up for more pressure.

[Fal]

Imagine saying he could've done better with that shot, fast powerful shot through a group of players. The ball could've been parried anywhere but sadly it fell to their player which happens.

He currently is a League One goalkeeper, not a premier league or international, honestly some of our fans are idiots with what they expect out of our players.

We lose - "We are so shit is unbelievable, need to get rid of (insert player name)"
We win - "HMS Piss the league is back on track"
Bad pass or mistake - "He is a liability and needs to be replaced by (insert player name)"
Misses a chance - "(insert player name) would've buried that, we need a definite replacement in January"
Go 1-0 down - "McCann needs to go, (insert player name) needs to be taken off"
Come back and win - "Amazing peformance, well deserved even if we didnt play well"

At this point it is becoming laughable

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Very harsh again to suggest TLT could have done better. He didn't have time to think about pushing the ball away, he had all on to save it in the first place.

The debate should be about the two or three opportunities we had to clear the ball before it landed in Mandevilles path. What Clifton was doing I don't know to allow their player to recycle the ball back into the box. We could also say Bailey could have blocked the goalscorers path to the follow up.

[Chris Black come back]

We can all look at individual players and individual performance but the big picture is we have stepped up a level and aside from a few games (Orient springs to mind) we have been competitive in the vast majority of games we have played. Some we were lucky to win, many we were unlucky to lose. The performances have generally been good. That’s as much as we can ask for really. We will likely stay up and have a good cup run(s). That’s decent for the first season back.

Got to agree with this, saw it at the very last moment . If our defender hooks the rebound away everyone's saying what a save that was. Too easy to be critical of things after watching the slow motion

It was a great save but it was nearer to 15 yards out.

I was interested to hear Gary Roberts post match interview. He said they'd identified that TLT had a tendency to parry shots and that they were going to ensure they were following shots up. That says quite a bit for me. I've wondered several times why he hasn't held the ball instead of parry it in other games.

For some reason Grant has taken umbrage at this, calling it disrespectful. The facts are they identified it as a weakness, and ended up scoring from it.

I'd be disappointed if any manager didn't encourage his players to follow in on shots, no matter who the keeper is.

No where near 15 yards.

Conversely our defenders have to be even more switched on and react to and potential spillages.

[idler]

The thing is that most defenders were facing towards the shooter as the shot came in whereas their forwards were facing the goal. By the time defenders had turned the attackers had move a pace or more goalwards. It happens so quickly but I would be coaching TLT to try to parry further to the side. Our BFG had a similar habit conceded a few to follow ups from his saves.

[drfchound]

I’m talking about the save that TLT made from the Mandeville shot which was partway between the penalty spot (12 yards) and the edge of the keepers area (18 yards).
Are you talking about the distance that the striker played the rebound into the net?

It was about 2yds inside the box on a bit of an angle.

So about 16 yards then.

[Spilsby Red]

I was wrong about the distance. Still a great save

Yep, it certainly was a good save.
