Frome Red Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Looks a quality keeper but I also noticed he had a couple of poor kicks straight out of play into the dolman in the first half but after that seemed to kick well so maybe had some sort of problem at the start ?

Pete1975Legend Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Heaton on a free was one of the best transfers we did. A very capable and dependable keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eskay Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Very, very impressed with him last night. The best overall performance I have seen from a City keeper for ages. Confident, commanded the box, great decision making, good communication. Kicks well from both feet, some of the passbacks put him under quite a lot of pressure but it did not fluster him one bit. And.. passionate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carey 6 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Anybody else see him turn to the Eastend and leap and celebrate when we got the fourth? Was strange seeing a keeper so passionate haha! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCAGFC Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Hard to judge as he didn't have to make any kind of save at all Are you serious, Heaton made 2 one on one saves in the 2nd half, 1 just after half time when they cut right through us on our right & then the other 1 at 3-1 up when they cut through us on the left. Gerken is a decent GK and saved us last season but Heaton is far better on what i have seen.. BCAGFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redtucks Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Great handling on a few occasions from a few difficult shots on a wet surface. ...and a truly outstanding save from a free kick at Forest! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Tip top. Comands the area well, doesn't look flustered and his kicking seemed OK to me?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bearded_red Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Tip top. Comands the area well, doesn't look flustered and his kicking seemed OK to me?! I really rate Heaton and I was saying all last season while he was number 2 at Cardiff that we should try and sign him, but his kicking on Tuesday was terrible! I haven't noticed it in the friendlies or at Forest so I would hope that he just had a poor night kicking wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recall one sliced effort but the opposing player was offside and I don't think Heaton did it by mistake! I shall watch with more interest on Saturday.

Mendip City Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 good keeper very impresed , but is he only here till the end of the season ? if so what then? I think he will sign for a prem club next year.... US!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
citywest30 Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 good keeper very impresed , but is he only here till the end of the season ? if so what then? Sure I read somewhere that if he plays 30+ games then there's a second year option but I don't know whose it is to take up. Tho if it was in Heaton's hands surely it was in place in case he wasn't uses as number 1. If that's the case and he plays in 30+ games and we're doing ok then surely he'll take it.

Admin Ian M Posted August 23, 2012 Admin Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 He left Cardiff even though they offered him a new deal as he wanted first team football. I suspect the 1 year contract was his insistence as he didn't want to risk a longer term deal if he was not picked ahead of Gerken. If that is the correct reading of the situation I would not be surprised for City to have inserted the 30+ appearances clause & Tom to have agreed to it as it would mean he was 1st choice.

dezgimed Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 Really??? I was not over impressed and his kicking left me feeling rather concerned. Blind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheshire_red Posted August 23, 2012 Report Share Posted August 23, 2012 I have a Cardiff supporting mate and he was gutted they didnt keep him. Gerkin made far too many mistakes I don't think Heaton will make half as many and more importantly will command his Box whic Gerkin certainly didn't. Also believe the defence will tighten iup and have a lot more confidence in him than others of recent times.# All in all a very very good signing and as important as Baldock / Davies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
