Lrrr Posted September 22, 2021 Report Share Posted September 22, 2021 No one doubted he’s a very good keeper, just you can’t rely on him to stay fit for 10 games in a row Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I meant since he left us. I like Nikki and preferred him to DB, but unfortunately his career never really took off properly due to his injury issues. Good keeper.

The point made above about his availability is spot on though, certainly it deteriorated over his time with us. Genuinely reckon that despite that, he is one of the best keepers we have had in the last 35 years, having played just 30 games for us he’ll probably be forgotten in time, but for me he was that good.

The main town of Venice is OK, but it's infested with tourists. And tiny...but yeah, there's worse places to live. Horfield, for example Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristol Oil Services Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 What a team of crocks - a 'Crocked, but actually Quite Good (if I weren't Crocked - but then I wouldn't be here -) XI' - and/or reluctant don't-really-wanna-be-here wasters Mark Ashton assembled here for us over the years of his running-towards-diversity tenure: 1. Niki 2. Adam Matthews 3. Brunty! Can you fill in at left back for us? Do you have to? Yes, you bloody do! Do it for Deano. 4. That Swedish lad - tall, blond, crocked 5. Alfie Mawson 6. Gary O'Nil appearances 7. Ryan "I'll get my gloves" Kent 8. Joe thingy, think he's still here now 9. Benik, bless him 10. Tommy Tomlin 11. Tricky Kid, from West Brom, had a trick, nothing else. 12. Liam Walsh, on the bench. Which is progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numero Uno Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 Really solid keeper. Unlike a lot of keepers at Championship level he was commanding when balls were being pumped into the box. That’s the rub though, would have pulled off that save from Dykes on Saturday?

Lew-T Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 Niki Maenpaa… As keepers go, you don’t get much cooler than Maenpaa. You felt at ease when he was between the posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Red Billy Posted September 23, 2021 Report Share Posted September 23, 2021 Won’t pull a world class save like Bentley but wouldn’t throw one in the net in the 90th minute either. Good solid all round keeper that was unlucky not to play more for us. Genuinely wish him well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
