RedDownUnder Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Just wondering, who do people think is the best goalkeeper in the Championship? Heaton's got to be up there. That double save from Thomas Ince vs Blackpool was incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CiderArmyy Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Heaton up there Kuzack is good, Schmeichal But the best is Sperioni, or howeever you spell it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedDownUnder Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Gerken. I like Gerken aswell. Felt sorry for him getting stuck behind James. That Nottingham Forest game on Sky he was saving everything. But that 4-0 Leicester game he was poor. Didn't look comfortable at all. But Fontaine did have a shocker that game.

RedDownUnder Posted March 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I was joking. I didn't mean he's the greatest keeper. There's a video of him making an absolute howler for Colchester. I'll try and find it on YouTube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylor10 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Just wondering, who do people think is the best goalkeeper in the Championship? Heaton's got to be up there. That double save from Thomas Ince vs Blackpool was incredible. I like Heaton but he is nowhere near the best keeper in the league. The best is probably Jack Butland or Julian Speroni, closely followed by Kasper Schmeichel. Chris Kirkland, David Marshall, Paul Robinson, Michael Gilks, Paddy Kenny, Jason Steele (although he was poor against us) Thomas Kuszczak, Stephen Henderson, David Stockdale are among the others that are better than Heaton for me. Like I said, I rate Heaton but he isn't close to being the best in the league. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the FL show it looks like he should have saved Davies' goal but he might have been unsighted by the defender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from probably being at fault for Davies goal his kicking was absolutely woeful. Very good keeper but thankfully was poor against us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickle Rick Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Kasper be the besty. Butland isn't any better than Smithies - both not up to young Schmeichel's standards. Tomas Kuszack is also very good, as is Lee Grant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brizzle Jordan Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I know he plays for Palace but I've always rated Julian Speroni. Same here, fantastic shot stopper and seems to be one of those keepers who hardly talks or shouts at his players but just constantly keeps saving them.

Does that mean we are basing them on reputation and that they aren't the best two in the world because of it? Good reputations come about from doing good things?

Indeed, but the 2 players here are at the top of their profession. We see them in la liga, the champo league. They consistently perform at the highest level.

Does that mean we are basing them on reputation and that they aren't the best two in the world because of it? Good reputations come about from doing good things? Slightly different as we are constantly shown highlights of these two players. We also see them on the international stage and destroying teams as a regular occurrence in the champions league. I've probably seen more of these two players than I have any player in the Championship outside of our squad. However reputations can come about from one good season and people remembering the name. One my of mates who came with me to a couple games in our play off final season constantly asks me how we have been able to hang on to Marv for so long, despite the majority on here (myself included) thinking he has never got anywhere near those heights since (before anyone has a go- i like Marv). Just a quick point about the goalkeepers (and I expect repercussions for this). I HATE it when people say that they are "good shot stoppers". All professional goalkeepers should be good shot stoppers- that is their primary job! The rest is what separates the greats from the also rans. In every other position you can make a case for them being good at something else i.e a striker who doesn't score a lot but brings the other players into the game or a midfielder who isn't the greatest passer of the ball but breaks up the opposition play. But if a goalkeeper can't stop shots then they shouldn't be a goalkeeper!! In terms of Heaton, I rate him. But I have seen too many mistakes from him this season to consider him one of the best.
