Port Said Red Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Did he push his way forward for a league start tonight? I thought Frankie was poor on Saturday even allowing for the conditions, I thought Steele looked good all round tonight and made a couple of high quality saves. Maybe deserves a chance.

One bad game for Frankie. Don't think you can go dropping after one game. He certainly has competition though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nebristolred Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 See I thought Steele looked ropey in general, a few very dodgy punches, but to his credit there was a superb save down to his bottom right as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with this - he also seemed to drop every ball and needed a second grab on most shots - was a hell of a save in the second half though.

REDOXO Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Before Sturday FF was statistically the second best keeper in the division. However great game by Steele tonight!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 He looked very confident on the ball, distribution was also pretty good. Seems more assured coming of his line for the ball. So nice to have a good keeper in reserve. FF has not done anything wrong to be replaced though. Question is, if we get a big team do we keep Steele as reward for being the cup run team - or does FF get a big maybe once in a life time day out.

Well apart from the second goal when he seemed to forget he was allowed to use his hands, he never came for a cross all game, couldn't kick in a straight line and just generally looked out of sorts. I admit it didn't help having Flint playing so poorly in front of him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in agreement with this. He had to have a 2nd grab at about 3 or 4 shots and a couple of crosses. Magnificent Banks-esque save late 2nd half though.

Sir Colby-Tit Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 3 fantastic saves tonight, any of which went in could have changed the game. Take a bow Luke, superb performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Looked like he had dipped his gloves in Vaseline for the first half then made a string of fantastic saves in the second! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Overall very good but a few dodgy moments. frankie still no 1 imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoodridgeandGoater Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Steele had a decent game and good to know he's there ready for it waiting in the wings. You can see LJ gets frustrated by Frankie's kicking but think FF will stay no 1 for now at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRobartes Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Had a good game tonight. Noticeably less fizzing from the usual suspects around me when he kicked the ball dead than when FF does it though. I would stick with FF but good to finally have competition there.

50cal Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 He grew in confidence as the game went on. He will play a big part as the season goes on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAl&Toby Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Save in second half was superb. Kicking was superb. I’d start with him without any doubt. Fielding’s distribution is dire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Thought he looked a bit suspect to begin with, but free in confidence as the game went on. Couple of tremendous saves as well and by the end of the game lookes very comfortable. Great problem to have if I'm honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrenadaRed Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 I thought Steele was excellent tonight and it's very harsh for anyone to say he looked ropey. Great performance and kept us in the game. He's looked very good in all his cup games and gives me real confidence that we finally have two strong first team standard keepers. I haven't analysed Saturday's match tbh, but at first viewing didn't blame Frankie for our goals conceded. Another example of our improved strength in depth this season. Well player Luke.

Had a good game tonight, but we also commented that his early saves seemed to be awkward, almost hitting wrists and lower arm than gloves....but the ball stayed out. Think Palace hit some wobbly shots at pace tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 To be honest, is it not absolutely fair that it might take him 30m to settle in to matches being selected sporadically? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZiderEyed Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 I really really thought he looked on edge. Seemed to have a howler first half, like he couldn't get a grip on the ball. Made a phenomenal save down low to his right but overall I wasn't blown away and I'd start Frankie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tears in rain Posted October 24, 2017 Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 Struggled to start and got better as game went on. No point swapping for FF as he has been good all season! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looked rusty first half, but made a good save just before half time and that seemed to give him confidence, and he looked assured second half. Frankie still number one though.

From the Dolman it looked like he was partially at fault for the first goal as well. Good enough competition for FF but he's still our number 1.
