Admin phantom Posted September 9, 2014 Admin Report Share Posted September 9, 2014 My thought entirely. Its clear this guy has talent, he was picked for the national squad and I don't see that as a "complete" fluke. FF has made some odd decisions particularly early last season, but his down sides are clear, he is short for a keeper plus Kicking, catching and punching could be better which many could say are pretty fundamental to goalkeeping, but before the wags start. lets be honest....We are playing well with confidence, the back three are doing well and seem to have adjusted for Frank. If our back three have confidence, then so do I. I see Frank as improving back to where he was in his career that led to when he was called up.... and that suits me. The comparison with Basso resonates because we all knew Adriano was capable of an occasional ricket, but was also capable of brilliance that almost got us to the Premier League. Frank showed a flash of goalkeeping brilliance a couple of weeks ago that was all over the TV, now is not the time to be having a debate about FF V some random other goalkeeper we have not bought, now is the time to back the player the team and the manager as its clear SC likes him and so do our defence! Amen to all of that ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think his kicking is already improving. Didn't put a foot wrong on Saturday in that department. You can only judge a player on how they are performing now - not earlier mistakes There are many worse keepers in L1. Just look at Scunny's "rated" goalie, who let the ball squirm out from under him and was only saved from an embarrassing o/g by a fortuitous elbow.

I do agree with you, but being pendantic, the guy in goal Saturday is currently on loan from Peterborough - the first two choice keepers are out injured Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
