Dado'sMulls 2,617 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 We need better than Wes Foderingham imo Decent keeper but suspect positionally and beat from outside the box too easily for my liking. Likable guy right enough Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prso's headband 35,459 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 He excels in parts of the goalkeeping game and is good in others. His real problem is reacting to long shots. He gets nowhere near some average efforts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SeparateEntityMyArse 53,725 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Far from our biggest issue. In those 100 I can think of less than 5 errors. He's not the best in the world, nor at the likes of a goram or klos. But none of our players are. Plenty saying we need better. No names mentioned as yet, the easy cop out.

gmcf 34,197 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Congratulations Wes .  Far from perfect but there's other areas of the team that need addressed more urgently . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamess 3,422 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I'd say one of the successes of the last few years. Earned us points on a number of occasions. Look around at some of the other fuds in goals in our league and you have to rate him as above average and safe at least.

Bearsden bear 2,376 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I think he looks more assured this year, no doubt due to the stability of the CB's. Decent shot stopper & his distribution is pretty good. He seems to coming off his line more now which i like. As said he might not be Klos, but he is far from our worst player right now Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacktonBear 13 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 The one thing I didn't like about Wes was that he didn't command his box at set pieces, but this season he's started to add this to his game. If he can add this to his shot stopping and his distribution then we'll be celebrating games 200 & 300.

His real problem is reacting to long shots. He gets nowhere near some average efforts. That one he let in in the cup semi was a good example - McGregor rolled it in and Wes never twitched! Must say, though, that touch he got on the one from the Hertz lad the other week saved us from back to back home defeats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrMckee 3,420 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 His shot stopping and distribution are top class. Good to see him coming off his line more which is something the new GK coach must have worked on with him. Think I read something about Forrest conceding 6 goals already from set pieces and didn't our old GK coach head there? Got a feeling he was told to stay on his line previously...

But when Wes starts letting in shots that are pretty much straight at him, then from angles as tight as that, his days will be numbered!

You can see he's trying to come out and take the ball more. It's looks clumsy when he does it just now but at least it's a part of his game they've noticed needs improved and are doing something about.

McEwan's Lager 30,524 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I really like Wes. Just wish he would stop letting the ball travel across his body before he kicks it. Gives me the fear Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 Saved us a lot more than he has let us down in those 100 games, no Chris Woods but still a very decent keeper who we could sell on for more than we paid for him.

Didn't see the game.  I like Wes, he's a big lad and should be commanding his area. When a Keeper does that , it gives the opposition less options in the box.

jintybear 8,536 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I certainly think he's improved this season. Maybe because he's more confident of the players around him? When he first came to is he used to give me the fear every time he had the ball but now not so much. Congratulations Wes  Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
