Scapegoat Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 I think Shez is probably aware that the goalkeeper situation is far from ideal - but I also think that he is working to limits in terms of budgets and number of loans we can have, and has decided that it was more beneficial to bring in defender/midfielder/forwards than replacing the keeper. Having seen the impact of the 4 new players, I think he is right. That being said, you then back the player in public and behind the scenes with total conviction. You have him for the foreseeable, therefore do everything you can to boost his confidence and performances. That being said, Tuesday was a clanger IMO. Thankfully one that didn't cost us any points.

BP1960 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) For me the mistakes he makes are mainly down to poor positioning of his feet - he is often caught on his heels with crosses which contributes to the mistakes. Work on that and he will cut out many of the howlers. He has a lot going for him agility wise, but the number of balls which bounce off his chest and decision making are a a worry, I'd have thought intensive coaching would have remedied these faults. Today's coaching methods seems all about shot stopping rather than catching the ball. Edited February 26, 2016 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today's coaching methods seems all about shot stopping rather than catching the ball. It may be something to do with the way the modern football seems to move in flight. Definitely seems that the majority of keepers either punch or push away/over shots that come straight at the goal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Definitely seems that the majority of keepers either punch or push away/over shots that come straight at the goal. The ball has changed significantly over the years to make it harder for goalies. It swerves and dips all over the place which puts so much uncertainty in their minds. It's probably got to the point where even if they felt they could catch ok the doubt always tell them to punch , only problem these days that a lot of goalies haven't learnt the art of punching it away in the right direction , a lot push it straight back out !!!!!

Why has the ball been changed to a lighter balloon like one, anyone know the reasoning behind it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monty Burns Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Why has the ball been changed to a lighter balloon like one, anyone know the reasoning behind it? Moves faster More goals Less brain damage Sharper passes Quicker to produce Less expensive to produce Better free kicks More skills Pisses off old codgers Doesnt get heavier in the rain Dont need dockers steelies on to kick it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaticsLegend Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 Anthony White, I think I'm sure he has his qualities and he seems to have some modern methods, but I can't help but think a keeper coach should really be an ex-pro (at a half decent level) to really help someone like Joel to progress.

Every world cup the ball changes , the powers that be want to see more goals so they like a ball that swerves and dips. Some players like Ronaldo have mastered the art of taking free kicks with it to great effect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind you, I blame the keepers back then. Edited February 26, 2016 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave_ragg1984 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) I don't think Coleman made an error for their goal.I think it's his fault, but I don't think it's that bad a mistake really. And certainly nowhere near as bad as the Peterborough mistakes that led to both of our goals. When I first saw it I was expecting a Cornell style howler. And then when I saw it my reaction was pretty much "oh, is that it?" He's not the best keeper around by any stretch, but he's not terrible. A young lad with a lot of potential. Some of the criticism of him is baffling. Especially when you consider the alternative waiting on the bench...

BP1960 Posted February 26, 2016 Share Posted February 26, 2016 (edited) Yeah but what else? Fun for dogs to play with and pop. Attach string and it can be used as a kite. Useful as a weather balloon. Can be used as a beach ball. Bare feet can be used (as long as toe nails are cut). Edited February 26, 2016 by BP1960 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some brilliant kits back then too - special mention (where is he?) to the Everton Amber and blue away effort at Coventry - even better than Ernie Hunt's donkey kick.
