palmer1 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Unless he sorts out his kicking and distribution he wont be anywhere near a Premier League side within a few seasons. Let him play in a team were he isn't constantly busy and then see how good his concentration levels are before predictions of stardom. Goalkeepers tend to look much better when they are busy and have more to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafc1955 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Give over...Joe Hart's distribution is not the best but despite that he will walk into a Premiership side next season. Ripley's definitely good enough for the Championship now and will surely play at Premiership level in the near future. Best keeper I've ever seen at this level!

palmer1 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 (edited) Comparing International Premier League winner Joe Hart with League 1 team keeper Connor Ripley....really!? Harts distribution is excellent if you watch and Pep would love to have him in the side now but he wont admit he :censored:ed that up. Ripley isn't Joe Hart! Ridiculous! He has massive improvements to make to be anywhere near his level ,not just distribution! Edited March 20, 2017 by palmer1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBlue Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Perfect scenario for him is if Boro are relegated. They wouldn't put him in from the start of the season in the PL, even though I'd imagine he'd be their second choice, but they'd be more inclined in the Championship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer1 Posted March 20, 2017 Share Posted March 20, 2017 Name a goalkeeper that plays Premier league football who every single game kicks the ball straight to the oppo goalkeeper or straight out of play like Ripley does? I have said previously if some posters would like to check in this thread I have said he has kept us up this season has he has been excellent and deserves his place in the team of the season so this is not just a knock on his ability. So if you actually know anything about football tell me how unless he improves this part of his game he will play Premier league football? If you cant put together a post about this without it being a insult don't bother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without looking Into it too much I'd be pretty confident to say more or less all premier league goalkeepers tend to not kick it upfield even half as much as a league one team. So not a fair comparison at all. I would throw him into the championship tomorrow and not have a worry for the lad, and then the season after premier league will be his for the taking. I must say the talk of England caps on here months ago is somewhat premature. Edited March 20, 2017 by simplythemostimportantkick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He deserves a chance in the Championship next season. I still think he will bench warm at Boro if they go down though. Hopefully not.

I think it will be interesting to see him develop, and if he keeps going the way he is I predict a bright future and genuinely really wish him all the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shiltonesqe is how I'd describe him, saying that the two he fell on against Millwall may well prove crucial in the run in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They can be more than guesswork but most of the time it is guesswork as him and Carlo Nash will study where past penalties have been scored/missed from the opposition's penalty taker prior to the game. This doesn't always work however as many put them in different places and as such then becomes complete guesswork. Also are you suggesting Lee Gregory isn't a good player due to him being trumped twice in minutes by Ripley? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't comment too much on his technique or otherwise but he certainly played the conditions well against Gregory. With the pitch so slippery and the stakes so high Gregory was always likely to be pretty deliberate and safe which gave Ripley a decent chance if he read his approach. Thankfully for us he did twice!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
