jim beam 2,188 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Hmm reasonably happy about it thought Alnwick has done well in the games I've seen wouldn't mind seeing him between the sticks more often in league games. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gj923 1,457 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Keepers are hard to come by especially English ones so good bit of business tying him down for an extra year knowing that it could be tricky to deal with just a year left. Unless either him or Alnwick leave we are not getting another keeper. Seen some of his replies on twitter and I think he gets what it means to play for this club and the expectation that comes with it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGovanIniesta 1,000 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 Improved vastly over the past year and is one of few who actually care, with the right coaching he can further improve with age. wee things like 'here's to the next 100' after reaching 100 games for us recently also show he's not the wantaway some speculated over the summer.

.Williamson. 81,992 Posted September 20, 2017 Share Posted September 20, 2017 I don't see him being here until then and it's better to have him on a longer contract so we can squeeze as much money out of selling him as possible Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozblue 4,331 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 It's a fact of life at any club where the position of your best Goalkeeper becomes polarised by fans (unless you have a top class keeper and his understudy is clearly inferior) and it's no different at our club where we have Wes Foderingham aged 26 yrs battling it out with Jak Alnwick aged 24 yrs. Now, both of these keepers are nowhere near the finished article because it's a fact that age and experience are the main factors for this position. I personally think that there's not much between them at the moment, so I think this extension for Foderingham is a very good move for all concerned. I won't be upset if Jak Alnwick gets the nod for the game against the scum,but I think it would be harsh on Wes being dropped. I'm sure our goalkeeping coach and Pedro Caixhina will look at how both keepers train for the rest of the week and make the correct decision; but my money is on big Wes to be between the sticks. Â Â Â Â Â then just behind them is Liam Kelly aged 21 yrs, young Robbie McCrory Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson83 1,059 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 As I’ve says before we have always been good with getting great goalkeepers ( ok maybe not so much since 2012 ) he needs to command his box more but he in time will learn, happy to see him extend his stay Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozblue 4,331 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I think this interview with Pedro clears up who he regards as his top 'keeper at the moment, so unless he gets injured I think Jak Alnwick will be on the subs bench against the scum.

With Heart and Hand 8,949 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I don't like it when folk say "so and so has imoroved this year" This isn't a rookie contest and were not giving out trophies for most improved, we need proven winners and as if late I don't know if Wes is our best option Alnwick on sat for me Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

WeirFleckNRothen 1,789 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I'll forever be indebted to Foderingham for tipping Griffiths' free-kick onto the bar in the dyingseconds of that the sem-final. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplythebest 11,453 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I like him overall, might not be Goram but that sort of level would clearly cost us too much these days Goalkeeper is the least of our worries position wise anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

City_of_Blue 565 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 He is a decent goalkeeper. But in the long term and where we want to go as a club and get back to, we will need way more than a decent goalkeeper. File under will do for now for me.

Loyaleastend 3,260 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 The guy just doesn't inspire confidence and is hardly a commanding figure in a crucial game, Pedro gave Kenny Miller a contract , says it all.

orange&blue92 1,284 Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Good news, will bump up a potential price tag if someone comes in for him, but would give Alnwick a chance after his performance on Tuesday, the guy looks the real deal Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
