Ashton98 Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 A new keeper is a must if we want a good season. Can't seem to save long shots or claim balls, his distribution is also very poor. We need a keeper that gives the crowd and players confidence, someone would make the box his although I think the team played very well and was unlucky to leave with nothing. On to Tuesday!

Eastside Moonwalker Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 We do need a good keeper but the Gardner goal wasn't his fault, he was left wide open . second goal he couldn't really have saved either to be honest. We do need a good starting keeper as a Priority if we wanna go up but I don't think he's to blame for this match Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ashton98 Posted August 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Although he wasn't solely to blame he was partly to blame. Just seems we conceded a lot of long shots that other keepers in the league would save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 He rarely saves anything from long range and his kicking is hopeless. Desperate for an upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobArnold10 Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Fielding for me is an alright keeper, good days few and far between but fairly mistake free, but you always feel like a better keeper would have kept out 10-15 goals a season that they've conceded. It's similar to Carson at Derby really. For me we have other priorities to sign, but an upgrade at GK isn't a bad thing either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was the most important position to strengthen in at the start of the window. I understand it might have been hard getting in the targets. Just need to make sure we get one in soon. way too many similar to the first goal gets passed frankie, I think reading done it 3 times in one game, bench for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Sounded as if he made a couple of decent saves & had no chance with the goals. Think a settled CB pairing in front of him is key, myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

petehinton Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Neither goal his fault today. First one awful defending and its fizzed through 5 bodies. Second goal is a great strike. Made some good saves in both halves. Really not as bad as some people seem to think he is. To think some fancied Parish over him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bs4Red Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Absolutely litter at this level. Distribution appalling and takes so long to get us playing. Been saying for a long long time. To progress in this league you cannot have FF as your keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bs20ciderarmy Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 It's hard because he made some good saves, but do agree getting beaten from that far out I think you should be doing better.

Nibor Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Fielding doesn't fill me with confidence at all, two reasons. One is his size and the other is his kicking. However he does pull off some good reaction saves and I don't think I could blame him for any of the three goals we've conceded. I do think we should be trying to sign a permanent keeper to battle with him (i.e. one we expect to be better, giving Fielding a fair chance to keep the shirt).

MC RISK77 Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 Absolutely I really hope the club can find a new number 1 in the next few weeks...the fact we have been linked with a few keepers suggests we have identified he is not the answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Its Smith Posted August 12, 2017 Report Share Posted August 12, 2017 I'm not a fan and am harsh on keepers, having played in goal a fair bit. But it's nonsense to say he is at fault for either goal. First one he had no chance of reaching and second was right in the corner and he narrowed angle as well as he could. We need an upgrade but not because of today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
