Super Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Surely he cant be blamed for the 2nd. Yes,the 1st was a massive error and he will be the first to admit it but give the guy a chance we cant possibly judge him on just 1 game ! Always have players on the posts from corners. Would of been cleared easily. Not his fault for the second goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray White Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 That wasn't the most convincing debut ever but I still think he will be a better keeper for us than that clown Heaton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tiz Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 The events leading to the goal were bizare, did the players just stop due to the handball and then Fieldings moment of madness, I just cant get my head around it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You make a good point. If our back 4 were not so hopelessly out of position then Frank would not have had to make such a poor decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRISTOL86 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 had a shocking debut but hes a top keeper and i for one am sure he will come good Definitely. A very poor decision today which visibly knocked his confidence. Needs to put it behind him and move on to the next now, can't be changed. He's a top keeper and will save us more points than he costs this season I'm sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I BELIEVE Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Top keepers bounce back from mistakes. I have no doubt this lad will be a great signing, after all he looked very good the games I saw him pre-season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hippy273 Posted August 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 You make a good point. If our back 4 were not so hopelessly out of position then Frank would not have had to make such a poor decision. Flint was in the area, which is part of the reason as to why he made such a poor error, he failed to clear the ball from the striker that scored. I'm not going to judge Fielding on his whole season now certainly not. I do however feel it was his poor judgement that cost us the 3 points today for sure. It's not a convincing debut at all and something that SOD needs to bring to attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tins Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 He had a shocker, people are saying "Fielding out" they are criticizing him for a very poor performance. I disagree when you say we've seen worse, it's up there IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCAGFC Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 If the ref would have blown up for the most blatant handball EVER, then we wouldn't be discussing Fielding rush from goal. The referee today was embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 I still can't get my head around why he decided to try and take on the winger from miles out. I hope this is just a one off for him, but it was extremely poor play that may have cost us the 3 points. Aden Flint was still on the 6 yard line. Has to be a one off.. Was it because no defenders were anywhere near the winger? IF Fielding had won the ball and cleared it to a team mate, we'd all be singing his praises.

TRL Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Was it because no defenders were anywhere near the winger? IF Fielding had won the ball and cleared it to a team mate, we'd all be singing his praises. But he didn't, he wasn't close to it yes fair enough, bad decision. You can't condone his choice to carry on chasing him out to the wing. He had his chance to get back to goal. If he had chosen this, then maybe flint could have left the goal line to cut out wells. Its all if's mate. But if's have no place in a argument when it didn't happen. It was just rank poor decision making twice in one move. Lets hope he doesn't let it effect him.

Fiale Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Was it because no defenders were anywhere near the winger? IF Fielding had won the ball and cleared it to a team mate, we'd all be singing his praises. Initially when he ran to the corner of the box yes, I think it was probably the right move/decision - but why did he then when players were getting back chase him to the corner flag ? He should have started back to goal at that point.... oh well - doubt we will see him make the same mistake again, as they say - shit happens.... just a shame as I still feel for all of Bradford's running they were unable to produce much in the way of goal threats outside of what we gifted them... they were what I would call a team of Grafters...

GrahamC Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Interestingly he lost his place at Derby to Legdzins after a red card for a professional foul, which I think was the second time he's been sent off. Clearly we signed this guy to be our first choice but I do worry about his lack of height and he needs to improve his decision making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The hand of RO'D Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 What I don't understand and I'm not a fonts basher is why when Hanson had control of the ball and was looking up for a Bradford player to pick out (the only one close was wells), Fontaine ran back to the goal!? If he had just marked wells he would of cleared the cross by Hanson with ease... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roger Red Hat Posted August 4, 2013 Report Share Posted August 4, 2013 Just watched it on bbc1, and couldn't fail to notice the rollicking dished out by flint, to fielding! Probably shot his fragile confidence to bits, then! On the subject of the defence, we didn't deal with their set piece balls whipped in to the near post area at all, their second goal, and the first half when they hit the post. Not too much learning going on there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
