brady bunch Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 After watching the highlights a few times, surely a better keeper has to be our main priority? never beeen a huge frankie fan in the past, but I think he is getting worse, error prone and 2 or the 3 goals were very saveable, beaten 3 times low to his right, assume that is in the oppo's scouting notes... willing to still trust in LJ, but if ROD is seemingly not considered and we are left with the flawed frankie, I think we have a very good chance of going down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Up The City! Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 I think it is yes, however how likely is it to get a Number one keeper in Jan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stokes7 Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Yes definitely need a new keeper I have watched the goals again and he definitely could of saved the 3rd and maybe another one, also his distribution is terrible how many times does he kick it in to touch or just straight to the opposition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin phantom Posted January 4, 2017 Admin Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Sadly whoever our GK has been this since there are too many instances where they have been a major factor in conceding a goal As AW mentioned when signing Petr Cech he would save them as many points as a CF scoring to win points Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atyeo's Love Child Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Top Priority for me, however bad the defending in front of him I cannot see how you can pick him after letting those 3 in. None of them hit that hard and not right in the corner, maybe a slight unsighted shout for the third... but should have saved at least two of them. And plus he is too small!

stawey Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 i to have watched the goals over again a few times and have have to agree we need a keeper as a priority. weve had a few that have left a bit to be desired im sure those in front of him have little or no confidence in his stop ability Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeh Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 no it itsn't sorting out the defensive and midfield first and formost, followed by some support upfront, we can have 3 keepers in goal at the moment and we'd still lose if the 10 players in front of you can't be arsed to put a tackle in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You had to be blind to not see his quality. Agree that we are too easy to get shots in against but Frankie is still a poor goalkeeper. We could only concede one shot per game and with him between the sticks there's a good chance of it being all they'd need to get 3 points! Close range shot stopping - very good. But a very poor all round keeper. Likeable bloke but needs to be replaced. Unlikely to get a quality alternative in Jan though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cidered abroad Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 In an ideal world the answer is yes but we don't have a perfect world so maybe we will have to wait until the summer to sign Jack Butland or Joe Hart to understudy Lucic.

danrozzell Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Not sure on wages but if we could get a fringe goalkeeper with experience from prem like Speroni or McGregor from hull might be better option with Lulic to learn from too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warwickshire Red Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 3 hours ago, BS4 on Tour... said: Well for a bit of light relief, this may make you appreciate FF and ROD a bit more! Number 9 wasn't a million miles away from FF's "assist" for Hudderfield's winner. A definite quality no.1 keeper has been long overdue and seems never to be given the priority it needs. Speroni too old now (37) but would have been good a few years ago. Shame we didn't move for Bentley when we had the chance. Needs addressing if not now then in the summer.

Red-Robbo Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 Yes to a new keeper. Frankie is an ok #2 but has made too many point- dropping mistakes. No way should he have been beaten at that distance for Reading's third for example. ROD to be shipped out and Lucic loaned to a lower league club to get some experience of English football and develop. Pecking order should be: New keeper then Frank then Max.

Dullmoan Tone Posted January 4, 2017 Report Share Posted January 4, 2017 People calling for Lucic seem to have forgotten the Preston winner - on that evidence he is nowhere near our number 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
