Sparkz 76 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I'm delighted by start and the players were attracting to the gate but the goalkeeping situation needs to be addressed ASAP. Frankie has his moments but looks very nervy and uncomfortable most of the time with punching and kicking quite poor hope it works out for frank but at the moment he make me nervous so imagine how back 3/4 feel. My first post so be easy on me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrdc Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 3 league games and conceded 2 goals, surely that's the bottom line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BITW Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Don't think Frank is a bad keeper. He does put me on edge a bit at times but he's done fairly well so far this season IMO. Think he wil become more settled and composed as the season goes on if we can keep picking up results. He was never a bad player for Derby in the champ.

Sparkz 76 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I agree he has done ok. Credit has to go to flint to he has been outstanding as well as the other defenders. I honestly believe frank gets stage fright because he does get the jitters. I would love to see him do well. On the other hand with no competition with no one to push him. All I'm saying is another gk is more important then agard for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

!james Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I fully expect to see a keeper come in on loan when the window opens up in early September. Might be Moore depending on the situation at Cardiff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 I would expect a keeper by the end of the transfer window. To get promoted you need a top keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big C Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Frank is a decent enough keeper for League 1 but we do need another as I don't think Richards is ready to step up as a long term option if anything should happen to him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teach Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 A new poster, what do people realisticly expect from a League 1 keeper. Yesterday we had Ledgzkins.....dropped the ball into his goal, and passed straight to Wilbrahiam who missed from 4 yards out. Then we have Frankie, who made decent saves and bailed out some unbelievably poor, short backpasses. Very very strange comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Frankie is an accident waiting to happen, he will cost us more points than he saves us over the season. I've never seen a keeper look SO unlike a keeper, so unnatural with his footwork and general play. That backpass where he went scampering backwards like some kind of reverse Fred Flinstone before he hit it had me in stitches. And his decision making is awful! How many balls did he hit out to the shortest guy on the pitch?! OK, most of them ended up in the stands but even so! I think he seems like a top bloke and clearly Cotts sees something in him, but my word does he make the simple stuff look bloody difficult! You can see he gives the defence absolutely zero confidence. My heart is in my mouth every time the ball goes near him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ledgzkins was impeded by his own defender to be fair, who was sandwiched between him and Baldock so wasn't really his fault. The pass out was hilarious though. But Frankie does that pretty much every game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HoldenBall Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Every time they have a corner my heart is in my mouth, because I know FF will be completely planted to his line whether the ball comes near him or not.. I don't want to make FF a scapegoat but everyone who watches games regularly knows his strengths and weaknesses.. A new keeper is vital to our season, but we will wait till the loan market I reckon.

Sparkz 76 Posted August 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Well if we sign agard and top keeper between now and end of window I will be a happy man. 7 points out of nine is fantastic points make prizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted August 20, 2014 Report Share Posted August 20, 2014 Thanks for giving us the reason for the disallowed goal ref......!! What? I didn't say it was a foul did I? Just that the keeper had no chance of getting to it for the catch. In fact I've said on multiple occasions since yesterday that it was a perfectly good goal with no foul. All successful teams are built from the back, defensive solidity is critical. You can't underestimate the importance of a keeper that gives defenders confidence that he's going to be in the right place doing the right things. As much as I want things to work for FF as he seems like a top bloke and model professional, I just don't think he's good enough. He looks as dodgy now as he did last August vs Bradford. Poor decision making, rash, and distribution is terrible 9 times out of 10. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And what are you on about more fantasy than factual? I have no idea. Pretty sure everything I said was factual! Maybe the fantasy bit is referring to his assertion that Frankie Fielding bailed out the defenders dodgy passing, the way I saw it was the other way round! Had to laugh when fielding rushed off his line and cleared a ball, someone near me yelled out 'THAT'S IT FRANKIE, PLAY A BIT MORE LIKE MANUEL NEUER' and another guy responses 'more like Manuel from Fawlty Towers'!

Most keepers seem to be modelling the way Neuer plays.. when you rush out your goal and successfully intercept the ball it looks great, but when you rush out your goal.. run back, then rush out.. dance a bit then rush out again then you look a bit silly.. Bradford last season and Colchester where they hit the top goal netting springs to mind.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaftesburyred Posted August 21, 2014 Report Share Posted August 21, 2014 We have a top goalkeeping coach in David Cole who has worked at some top clubs in and around the premiership so I am sure as nice a guy as he is Cole must have spotted his limitations and is having an input into finding someone who commands his area and gives some confident vibes to his defence. Perhaps he's given him his goalkeeping book ( see Amazon) for some late night reading!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
