WGOH 2,344 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Didn't do much at all today, but made a couple of great saves and commanded his area really well. That save when the boy was offside was genuinely sensational. Best keeper in Scotland easily. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddiqi_drinker 14,635 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Looks to benefit from having a real defensè in front of him, Bruno and Cardoso versus Kiernan and Wilson Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

born a blue nose 91,126 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 It is clear he is a very good keeper. I dread to think how worse our stats would have been last season if it weren't for him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Lloyd72 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 His distribution seems to have improved greatly, against Marseille he had 3/4 times where he volleyed the ball long with pinpoint accuracy Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearson83 1,059 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Really good goalkeeper we have always had that at rangers ( ok apart from last few years ) but he's solid Keeper. He struggled to command his box in past but with a new back 4 With experience he will learn more and also a new goalkeeping coach will have changed his game.

TMB 14,167 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 There was a thread on here the other day about how shite he was and we should accept a good bid and play Alnwick instead. Now he's a great keeper and Windass is amazing too. It's hard to keep up on here at times. I suppose you're only as good as your last game.

.Williamson. 83,871 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Always said he's a good keeper that just needed a solid defence in front of him. Anyone that blames him for last seasons results is an absolute moron Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack The Flipper 5,936 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 People love to blame someone for this and that, and a keeper is an easy target to make a scapegoat out of... added to the fact he's black, well - he just cant win - no matter how good he is.

Turnberry18 3,204 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 We should do all we can to keep him; the best keeper in this league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone that blames him for last seasons results is an absolute moron Can only thank him for some results last season, far from ideal, but some of they draws and narrow wins could easily have been defeats if there was a less capable keeper between the sticks. As others have said, having 2 solid defenders in front of him, one of which is genuinely world class, can only be a good thing, and takes some of the pressure off if him. That said would like to see Alnwick play in the league cup, no point in having him here if we won't play him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.A.I 36,183 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Couple of fantastic point-blank saves. That's what he's good at. He's a good goalkeeper, I've always said it, but he costs us some stupid goals which if he could cut out he could be one of the best in the UK.

pcbear 10,924 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 Came for and collected cleanly a few crosses as well, imo his major fault is staying on his line when the ball really should be his. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
born a blue nose 91,126 Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 2 mistakes he made yesterday, both within minutes. Put a ball out to the left and it went over Wallace's head then exact same to the opposite side. The rest of the game his performance was immaculate, more of the same please. And I think he will command his area well this year, fine tuning is fine with me, you can see visible improvement year after year which is only a good thing. He has still to hit his prime too.

He's an average keeper but in Scotland looks good cos the others are so fucking shite Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
