It’s no secret that I think it’s unfair criticism. But watching Steele last night and against Wolves, there were flashes of concern for me that he isn’t very good at kicking. I don’t mean the accuracy, I mean the regular occasions on which he doesn’t connect properly and he also struggles to get length on his kicks. Not a criticism as such, I think he’s a decent back up, but for me, his kicking isn’t up to scratch. That being said, I do appreciate it was blowing a gale last night at Villa. Anyone else thought similar? Haven't really seen enough of Steele to judge, but I do think the guys miss Frankie. He seems to give the team more confidence because he is generally such a safe pair of hands. Always the first choice keeper IMO. Shame it wasn't possible last night.

Wrongagain Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 No one can deny, franky will put the ball straight out or deliver it to the opposition on a large proportion of his long deliveries, but by far the biggest worry is that he is prone to panic at times, which of course affects the way defenders play Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BITW Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Fingers crossed Frankie plays against Norwich (I’m sure he will.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shtanley Posted January 2, 2018 Report Share Posted January 2, 2018 Under pressure his kicking is woeful especially his left foot. Although out of hand and when he’s got time I think it’s more accurate than Fielding’s. Definitely not as much distance-wise though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that it has been but not by much. About 2ft. In fairness Frankie did ask for it to be wider but only on the right hand side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankie is a very good keeper and has dislodged enough replacements in his time here. Its no secret though that 3 separate managers have tried replacing him, unfortunately they've tried replacing him with feebies and loans. He cost £200k so an improvement you'd think would have to cost more than that. I think he's a good character and an able goalie hence why he's still in and around the squad. But if we are serious about pushing on then an improvement is most definitely needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
