oafcprozac Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 (edited) Apart from one nervy moment where he recovered brilliantly to bravely gather, he did well again today. One outstanding save and very good handling, he's played his part since he's been here and 1 defeat in 9 tells it's own story, including 4 clean sheets. Good bit of business by PD...

rosa Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 agreed, thought he was the difference between drawing and losing today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldhamains Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 He made a minter of a save vs Dagenham and Redbridge as well if I remember right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forte_Baby Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 Since the Southampton game and based upon his current form Ben Amos would win the award for player of the Month if it was given out today. As much as i defended Brill Amos has added an extra touch of quality to the squad and saved are skin one more than one occaison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I like Amos. Commands his area and is vocal BEFORE the problems occur. He's a long way off the finished article and I thought he was shaky at Carlisle and errors were visible v Southampton and Dagneham. He kicks more than he should too. But a handful of great saves alongside the commanding of his area are a key part of Latics remaining in the top 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note to knobhead in the Chaddy who made this comment during the Southampton debacle: " off back to scum you useless :censored:" Think before you speak, or better still, shut the up in future Btw, he's been excellent just wish Rubes would start listening to him!!

Prendy_1984 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I'm not having that he's been that excellent! Two crosses he went for at Carlisle last week were shocking! If it'd been Brill everyone wouldve been slating him! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prendy_1984 Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I would agree with that I just think some people are bigging him up far too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snookmeister Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 I've a whole load more confidence in Amos than I have in Brill. I think the back four do too. I'd love us to have him again next season. Don't think it'll happen unless we go up though...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsLee Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 yesterday i thought ben amos was outstanding, looked solid and punched/collected everything that was up for grabs, some pretty good saves too add to that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Ritchie Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 He's a good keeper at an excellent 'shudder' club. Which is why he doesn't belong to us! Brill although prone to a few clangers is a decent keeper, at a decent league one club. Loans from the big boys will always be welcome.

mattyg101 Posted February 14, 2011 Share Posted February 14, 2011 Thought hes been playing really well personally. However, its already been said, he is a way off the finished article, i think he could do with more discipline about coming off his line. He showed this at Huddersfield and to our cost against Dagenham. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He showed this at Huddersfield and to our cost against Dagenham. Improving steadily since his introduction with a few crucialsaves in the mix too. From what I have seen, could be better off his line and needs work on his kicking but bravery is better than Brills and shot-stopping on a par if not better. Also more assured at claiming crosses. On the whole I would say the recent stats speak for themselves and we have improved ourselves in the goalkeeping depatment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amos is a lot better shot stopper, Fleming is a better shot-stopper, but no one seemed to like him.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Sensational performance from Ben last night, particularly in the first half. He made one incredible save, like Banks v Pele, to stop the ball near the line and get it over the bar. He was also very brave to dive at the feet of Carlisle players when all seemed lost. My MOM by a mile! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
