ashton_fan Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 I don't understand what people think he's done wrong, I think he looks by far the best keeper we've had in a while. Hasn't been responsible for any of the goals conceded and his kicking against Newcastle was spot on, found Wilbs consistently. In order to keep clean sheets you have to have an organised defence it's not just down to the keeper. How many clean sheets did Heaton keep when he played for us yet he's in the England set-up now.

Agree, in fact all of the January signings have been magnificent - fantastic work by Des, Mark and LJ. I was getting worried when we were slipping down the table back end of last year, but the players they have brought in have made a huge difference. Cant't wait to see what 'gems' they secure in the summer........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Red Rich Posted February 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 I dont think he caught a ball tonight plus that pass straight to their player summed him up for me. Probably on £10k a week as well.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fiale Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 He looks a little rusty - but what did he do wrong tonight ? He looked ok, and not much he could have done for the goals, and he took one for the team completely taking out a player for the penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Red Rich Posted March 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 I posted this in a fit of rage & have now got back (finally!) from villa. Not much has changed in my view, he just looks a week keeper, his kicking is shoddy & he made an awful mistake that nearlycost us. Flint proper lost his rag with him, says a lot i think.

Phileas Fogg Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 I think keeper is one position in particular where the player ideally needs a good run of games in-front of a settled defence in one formation as a bedding in period; especially if, like Giefer, you've not been playing regularly. Logically this would be pre-season. To bring him in mid-season when there's no time for a bedding in period, as well as potential further issues coming into a new country and playing new with teammates speaking his second or third language looks like an error of judgement. With his pedigree i've no doubt he's a good keeper when settled and familiar. Seems a mistake to bring in a foreign keeper, who hasn't been playing that regularly, mid-season.

Are you having a bubble? What their player did was smart, he saw him coming out and drew the foul. It's not as if he miscontrolled the ball and it ended up in row D of the stand behind the goal. Not an ounce of blame for that challenge. Bobby Reid's backpass was horrendous, about the only thing he did last night wasn't it? Totally anonymous.

But to blame him for the penalty is IMO is bullshit . As for being a disaster. He doesn't look out of place with the majority of the outfield players. Or the head coach or the owner this season.

BRISTOL86 Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 I refuse to believe that none of the goalkeepers we've ever been through are any good. I lie the blame firmly at the feet of what's in front of him and the coaching thereof. Remember when everyone thought Heaton was crap? We could have had Neuer in goal this season and we wouldn't be any better off. Very harsh to blame a keeper for our issues at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
