Ontario Bear 8 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Glad and relieved that we are through today but the contrast between the two keepers was massive. Every time the ball went towards our goal and Bell I feared the worst and at the other end I thought that Clark was immense with some fine saves.We can't afford what we would typically have had for a goalkeeper in the past, like a McGregor, Goram or Klos (plus we threw away the opportunity to get Craig gordon). Does any body else think that Zander Clark at the age of 22 might be worth a punt? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

onefootwillie 1,519 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Not seen enough of him but he played well today and we do need another goalkeeper Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RangersMedia 35,961 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I don't know what has happened to Bell. Doesn't look confident at all. There were a few balls today which were in his 6 yard box and he was rooted to his line. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
graeme_4 35,406 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Bell's shite.Decent shot stopper, but his command of area is appallingly bad. A new goalie must be one of our (many!) priorities in the summer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibroxholm 2,291 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Not that impressed with him but think after his long term injury, we have to give Bell first part of next season to try to get his form back. However, would like to see a keeper who commands the penalty box more. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gooseman 889 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 To be fair, the defence in front of him does instil confidence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nemisis 358 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 He's the best we have but Bell just isn't a good goalkeeper. He was in goals for Kilmarnock in 2011 when we put five past them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueretro 704 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Clark had some decent saves but held nothing. Decent forwards would have scored a couple just from the rebounds from him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochBear 1,613 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 I don't know what has happened to Bell. Doesn't look confident at all. There were a few balls today which were in his 6 yard box and he was rooted to his line.The Goallie himself who IMO is the best I've seen in 50+ years was never great at crosses or comanding his box so Bell is in good company but I agree with the OP in as much as he doesn't inspire confidence certainly in me.

sassaaaa 11,406 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Don't know why he needs more time after injury , he never was a great keeper.Robinson was doing as good a job as him ........ Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,540 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 He's the best we have but Bell just isn't a good goalkeeper. He was in goals for Kilmarnock in 2011 when we put five past them in 2011What year was that mate? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wawrinka 88 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 re "Bell was in goals for Kilmarnock when we put 5 past them"And what? None of them were goalkeeping errors. Peter Schmeichel conceded 11 goals in 2 games once. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peter Schmeichel conceded 11 goals in 2 games once.Disagree. Positioning was poor for the Lafferty lob, and his recovery footwork also wasn't great.Also felt his wall set-up and positioning could have been better for the Jelavic freekick.

Bestie 25 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Bells basically got away with murder since came in Never looks to come for a cross eg today and for one ball into the 6 yd box he was a yard behind the goal line His kicking is poor and hes slowHe must be mc calls lucky charm Carry on Cammy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been spoilt with keepers for the past 30yrs and Bell isn't quite as good as previous standards. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
J_RFC87 762 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 What's the problem with Lee Robinson? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Gallant Pioneer 555 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 We have 3 first team keepers on our books costing us over 10 grand a week and we need shot of them all before thinking about bringing anyone else in. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goal machine 7,824 Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 What's the problem with Lee Robinson?I think he's better as well tbh. Bell can make some outstanding saves but when Robinson was in the team, he looked more solid overall. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
