RT's Vaseline Tub Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 Lucic is more than adequate - massive potential. Probably after he leaves us though like too many in the past... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screech Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 So we are looking for a brilliant shop stopper, someone who can kick accurately and somebody who commands their area. Good luck with that, they don't exist at this level. Frank Fielding is more than good enough for the championship, I will guarantee that if we do decide to get another goalkeeper, we'll be having a conversation about either his kicking, shot stopping or he doesn't command his area.

REDOXO Posted July 15, 2017 Report Share Posted July 15, 2017 We did have a better keeper. Then he turned into a mistake ridden basket case, who liked fire works a bit too much. Personally im not a Lukic fan but I do like OLeary. Either way fielding is decent with a couple of very obvious failings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatalist Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 I wondered why Fielding was one of 3 players to play the full 90 minutes, despite having Lukic AND O'Leary in the squad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roe Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Fielding's fine imo. There was a notable improvement in the team last season when Fielding was finally confirmed as number 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Red Rich Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 I wouldn't trust Johnson to purchase a better keeper than FF after Giefer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinCider Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Improve on what's in front of him and he'll automatically be better as he'll have less to do and be more confident. I think FF is on a par with most championship keepers so I'd rather see us invest in other positions instead of GK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JammyOne Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 FF is definitely a half decent Championship goalie but I wouldn't mind seeing an experienced goalkeeper come in. Someone that will give us a good season or two and meanwhile give Lucic, O'Leary and Wollacot someone to look up to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 If there is one position where you need exerience, then it is your goalkeeper. Inexperienced players can do well in other positions. Mind you, they don't come more experienced to Calamity, I suppose. What a waste of Steve's money he turned out to be (much to my surprise). How is he getting on in his new career on pornhub? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't think he had a chance with it, which was from about 20 yards btw. Would be a lot more concerned that no one closed down the scorer, who was allowed to just run and run. Frankie didn't have much to do yesterday but made a couple of decent saves. Mind you, his kicking was awful - whatever his career will be when he's finished with football I can guarantee you it won't be in distribution.

FlintWonderwall Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 Lucic seems the best current option imo. Fielding is poor at commanding his area and distribution is awful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey is Right Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 If Franks height is one of peoples major concerns, hes just over an inch taller than 3x UCL and 1x World Cup winner Iker Casillas. By no means am I comparing the two in goalkeeping, but simply noting height isnt everything... now the position of GK is more about the athleticism and many other factors than just whos the tallest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shelts Posted July 16, 2017 Report Share Posted July 16, 2017 FF great League one keeper . Ok Championship keeper . It all starts at the back with the keeper and unfortunately our number one doesn't kick or distribute well and lacks presence and stature . Plenty of experienced keepers going Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'd suddenly see FF's kicking in a different light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
