General Zod Posted February 9, 2019 Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 I know not everyone is his greatest fan but considering he’s been injured and has not played regularly hats off to Frank for seamlessly taking his place back between the sticks. Losing your first choice keeper at such a crucial time of the season would have been disastrous for most teams but Franks attitude and performances have been faultless and has helped keep the run going. With strength in depth and togetherness we will go far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarcusX Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 He's seen off a lot of competition for his spot here. I still think he's one of the better keepers weve had in the last 20 years. If he could distribute better he'd be at a bigger club IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judda Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Great timing for his return. Brilliant pro and known to be a good character in the dressing room. Do feel a bit sorry for max though as he'd have been given his chance otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendyredredrobin Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Is it my imagination or does Frank seem to have got better since his injury. He has been playing very well of late I still think Maenpaa is our best alround keeper though once he is fit again. We are lucky to have 2 good keepers and I certainly trust Max if and when needed too. His time will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Prefer Fielding to Maenpaa but appreciate that is a minority view Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestonRobin Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 3 league games and 3 clean sheets; can’t ask much more than that. Distribution isn’t as quick or accurate as Maenpaa but his main objective is to keep the ball out of the net...doing that well to be fair. 2 good keepers who no doubt will push each other when both fit...good problem to have.

The only keepers better / similar standard have been; Maenpaa, Heaton, Basso. Vs 20 plus other keepers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ska Junkie Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 In all honesty, I reckon LJ could do a decent job between the sticks with Webster and Kalas in front of him, taking nothing away from Frankie or Nikki. Our defence is sooo good at the mo, I really enjoy watching proper defending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chappers Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 Played well yesterday, he’s the man in possession right now, so has to be No 1. In 40 years of watching, definitely one of the better keepers I have watched. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ska Junkie Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 He's conceded 1, 0, 0, 0 thus far hasn't he? Can't be dropped after that to be fair, even if Nikki is fit again. Nice problem to have TBH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lew-T Posted February 10, 2019 Report Share Posted February 10, 2019 He’s still a number 2. Shouldn’t stay there if Niki is fit, but he probably will. Glad he’s done well though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying I disagree but it would be very tough to drop him after conceding just 1 goal in 4 matches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don’t feel calm with him between the sticks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
