BigAmo'sThighs 848 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Aye, a few of his kicks were slack, when pressed, he seems to dally too much on the ball..... But having said that, he's doing exactly what's required of him to play a attacking 4-3-3. Some of his catching from corners and distribution in hand was superb. He hasn't been tested with a shot on target yet, and I reckon he'll be a decent shot stopper too Really impressed with him, and the understanding will come with the rest of his team mates when he's on the ball, players need to show. We won't be punting it long under Warburton, within the next few weeks, the understanding will come IMO. Great team performance first half, fantastic to be back and enjoying my footy at Ibrox Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueThunder 8,454 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I have no fear when he comes to catch. Compare and contrast to previous keepers.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pcbear 10,924 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 There are times when whacking the laces through it is the correct option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jelavic191 4,474 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 He gives me the fear with it but he does look to actually be quite good at reading the runs for some of his passes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
the goal machine 7,810 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Far more confident with him in goal than Cammy Bell. Every time the opposition got a corner, I'd be close to having a heart attack. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duncn 247 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Feel a lot more confident at corners with a keeper who can command his box Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Jela 20,545 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 He'll get more comfortable with the ball at his feet over the season. Next game might be tricky for us though Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrMckee 3,433 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 defiantly an improvement on bell in terms of commanding the box yet to see him need to make a realistic save.. him and the defense need more time to gel really will have a better judge of him in games to come Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigAmo'sThighs 848 Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 There are times when whacking the laces through it is the correct option.Agreed, and by and large I thought he did that when required, when he had time, our players weren't showing as well as they should have IMO, making the team closing him down a lot easier. Still early doors though, but I like the new style and it'll perfect the more games we play Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next game might be tricky for us thoughIt's good that we're renting Alloa's pitch out though to train on it. Hearts did it last season and won there, while we didn't and failed to win there on a few occasions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We're having a few shaky moments but it is very early days and he is commanding his box when the ball is in the air, which is great to see.

maverick1200 2,836 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 He still looks a tad nervous. It'll come. It's a new style for him and it'll take time for him to adjust. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottBF2 3,540 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I'm willing to give the defence time to gel. The goal today was our own fault and the penalty likewise. We need to tighten up at the back when not in possession, but it's difficult to do that and maintain the level of pressure we put on the opposition as well. Need to find a happy medium.Tav needs to understand when to commit as well, a few times he flung himself in and his pace helped him recover, but when making those tackles in the box it has too be 100% or nothing.

johanhentze 14,293 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I think he looks like a keeper who is still trying to get used to the whole style of playing it from the back, but I am confident that he will become better as the season goes on.

AldoKrfc 106 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 He will come good. Seems to pick out great passes when he has a bit more time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LegendofCoop 17,441 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 I'm a pessimistic cunt, so I'll say he's a total bomb-scare with the ball at his feet! Great at crosses though, but by fuck does he need to work on his kicking. Trouble is, the defenders/midfield always pass it to his right foot.

bombaybadboy08 15,660 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 His kicking was fucking shite but he done the goalkeeping things well He will come good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
EastEnclosureBear 2,964 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 He got my heart beating quick tonight a few times. I thought he's going to save this penalty then Thompson ballooned it over the bar Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuvah 146 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 He is a bit of a bombscare with the ball at his feet at times but his distribution is generally good and he is a big commanding keeper at crosses and corners, can't really comment on his shot stopping yet but I am confident he will be a good keeper for us.

Tumshie 205 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 He's been told by Warbs to play that way. Sooner folk realise that the better. Tried to explain that at half time to the 2 goons behind me but they weren't having it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EatDolphins 5,357 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Thought he was decent in the second half, looked to have more confidence. His close distributing puts the shitters up you right enough. Not seen much of him in a shot stopper way since our defence is much sturdier.

Blackandra 732 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 Only worry is he fucks about a bit wae pass backs. But he comes off his line like a sweeper and comes for corners. Night and day fae Cammy Bell Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemdog 39,389 Posted August 7, 2015 Share Posted August 7, 2015 The best thing about him is his self confidence, which isn't an easy thing with the job he has to do starting from the back. With experience he'll learn to just punt it out on the rare occasion, but his handling in the air is a breath of fresh air after last Season. Apart from that we don't actually know if he can make a save or not . Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
