Who is your ideal GK? (8 Viewers)

[Diogenes]

Karl Darlow for me.

Wouldn’t be adverse to either Rodak or Bentley as been mentioned on here previously

Read that quickly and saw Ken Barlow

[BlueSkiesForever]

He was in goal in season 83-84 & in 2 consecutive games let 1 in from a goal kick against Watford and then punched the ball into the goal against Stoke. He never played for us again

Oh fairs, okay cheers for that, always good to know I suppose

 

[hamil99]

I know which one you mean, he went to prison Luke Mccormack, is from Cov who played for Plymouth

That's the one, cheers mate, glad I'm not going totally mad

 

[clint van damme]

When I saw the thread title the first thing that popped into my head was an octopus.
Which made me think, would you be allowed to put an animal in your team?

 

[SkyBlueStallion_89]

To be honest I'd have more confidence with Ken Barlow in goal then Collins

 

[steve101]

Essential characteristic for any keeper is bravery. Unfortunately we have been missing that in recent seasons. Can you remember Oggy's point blank save v Leeds in the FA Cup semi-final?

 

[SBAndy]

Really like the suggestion of Maty Ryan.

I can still remember Collins bottling out of challenging for that back pass

That was it for me too, the guy was chicken shit. Can't behaving that mentality in goal.

There were just so many horrendous mistakes. I think that half hearted punch at Southampton was the worst.

 

[BlueSkiesForever]

Yeah that was horrendous tbf, any decent keeper needs to be sorting that type of situation out.

Also I feel that Collins is just too weedy, just looking at him doesn’t strike you with fear. If you’re a striker and you’re bearing down on Collins you’re not exactly going to be second-guessing yourself. Not that we need a massive bear of a man in goal but just someone with a bit of substance and crunch about them, a bit of sharpness and courage.

Towards the end of the season Collins started looking like an outfield player who's been told to go in goal. It was utterly terrifying

He'd be right up our street

Love that summary of Collins lol.

If he'd only given away one goal it felt like we had got off lightly.

 

[Warwickhunt]

Makes wonders about Collins and how much he deteriorated over the season and yes I got the feeling in the latter few games he didn't want to be there? He might have issues off the field going on or in a form of depression 🫥 we will see how he starts if we don't get another GK in the mean time

It was more a case of putting pressure on himself after his fuck ups. Thus then making more, and feeling more pressure etc.

He is a decent keeper. Better than Wilson. But is he a good enough keeper for a team with Aspirations of getting out of this league this season?

I think we all agree he isnt

 

[hopesprings]

I worry about the coaching of our goalkeepers...no one that has been with us actually seem to improve. If anything they stagnate or get worse. Yet one we let go seems to have got better and better...Addai albeit in lower league

 

[SkyBlueMatt]

Who is my ideal GK?

Hmmm tough question, I guess someone with a GSOH, a glass half-full kind of person, who like walks in the park, watching movies and going to the pub on Sunday for roast dinner.

 

[TewkesburySkyBlue]

Alf Wood

Think I saw Alf save as pen when he was 40 + !!!!

 

[TewkesburySkyBlue]

Or getting kicked in the head by Ian ( the media's darling) Wright.

Kicked deliberately too , the twat .

 

[wingy]

Kicked deliberately too , the twat . better than being kicked by a horse!!

Royal news!!
Edit my reply comment.merging with Bangkok's for some reason?

If he starts we are in trouble from the off.

Can’t believe there hasn’t been a change of goalkeeping coach. Every one we have had has regressed.

Giving your age away.High seventies I would think.
In the days when every 1(GK) we had was class.

 

[Johhny Blue]

Maxine Crepeaux from Portland Timbers

More great saves today from Maxime at the Copa America
It’s about time we had another Maxime

We had Doyle

 

[robbiethemole]

My ideal Goalkeeper????? any fucker who isn't Wilson or Collins, really.

Yea I was bought up on Bob Wesson and Bill Glazier.
Wonder how good we could be with Bill in goal ?

The great keepers we had and never heard anyone moan about them Reg Matthews,Jim Blyth and Arthur Lightening .I could drool on but i'll stop there.
That was in an age when goalkeeper and ball ended up in the back of the net not like the mollycoddling that goes on today.

 

[oscillatewildly]

Lev Yashin.

 

[oscillatewildly]

We seriously need a commanding top 6 keeper. Badly and soon

Well we've smashed the 'badly'.

 

[Skybluekyle]

A keeper who is more effective than a freaking garden gnome!

 

[oscillatewildly]

He's awful with the ball at his feet.

FFS, we're looking for a GK not a midfield general.
I've heard David Copperfield is appalling at hanging wallpaper and fixing a pina colada so you may want to avoid one of his magic shows.
