Fair enough that people thought I was fucking stupid saying that because of his early jittery faults, but given he won't reach his peak until another 2-4 years, I'll stand by my comment. Because I'm not allowed by my Neurosurgeon to watch live games I haven't seen the game yet, but from what I've heard the big man played a blinder tonight and was man of the match. Well done Mr. Foderingham; You are proving that DiCanio wouldn't know a 'keeper if one was put under his nose...And well done to our goalkeeping coaches for making you raise your game. Nowhere near the quality of shagger he has cement in his feet Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGovanIniesta 1,000 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Would honestly rather a relegation style keeper than Fod and being promised he’s the future. Need a competent keeper who’s used to being bombarded with balls into the box and is a decent leader who helps command a defence. No time for ‘shot stopping’ or potential anymore, he’s far from the worst but he’s really not a commanding keeper who’s ever going to be part of a solid defence.

Billy1984 6,314 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Couldn't be blamed for any of the goals today. Far more to worry about from today than the goalkeeper. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not seen replays either but at the game I never thought anything about goalkeeping errors when they went in. He did have a moment in the first half when he could have claimed it and they nearly scored though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

LaudrupsPatrickBoots 13,510 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 He's fucking brutal. Been saying it for ages and genuinely can't understand how anyone can say any different. For every good save you can find from him there will be 2 goals he should be stopping. He looks like he dives in fucking slow motion. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jjbscotty12 3,558 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 Everytime I see an opposition player shoot from outside the box I think its going to be a goal I have no faith in him as our number 1 he is absolutely dross. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turnberry18 3,204 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 He's good at some things, and what he's good at he does very well, but he has a weakness when it comes to cross balls, and again that was evident. Doesn't help that he has a shambles of a defence in front of him, but still. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Del 667 Posted December 16, 2017 Share Posted December 16, 2017 If ever there was a thread to show the fickleness of our support it’s this one! 4 days ago the GK saves 2-3 one on ones and we win the game pretty much as a result of how good he was. Today we concede 3 goals, 2 of which he had no chance with but people are saying he’s not good enough! How anyone can review the match today and say that Wes was to blame is beyond me, nowhere near our worst performer, not even close today!

I appreciate that, but I've mentioned what he's like at cross balls numerous times. Instead other people's opinions what are your overall thoughts on him? Do you think he is good at cross balls; does he command his defence etc? I've been a huge fan of Wes, but he does have some big weaknesses that I can see. You're right though, he shouldn't fully carry the can, Alves was particularly poor; I can't make out if he is injured or what, but he is well below par.

I can’t really say if he’s good at cros balls, I can think of a few times recently where he has came and gathered the ball and although there has been the odd goal in recent years that people have suggested he could/should have came for, I don’t think it is a massive problem. I mean I remember people saying that Klos, McGregor, Goram etc were all glued to their line and they were all very good goalkeepers! Overall I think he is a very good goalkeeper and in terms of improving the team/squad, GK would be at the very bottom of my list of priorities.

You've reminded me that in a couple of the matches before today's he has been a bit better at cross balls, but he isn't a natural though. At this level a Rangers goalkeeper cannot have an obvious flaw where a flighted ball is going to give him a real problem. Maybe other goalkeepers were bailed out with better defences, but this obvious weakness in Wes' games will get pointed out the more it is exploited, and it was exploited on that second goal. Alves was poor today, and that can't be a help, so maybe he needs a better defence. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, 2 were pretty much straight at him & the really good save, where he touched it on to the post, would have been slated if it had gone in, cos it was at the near post. Today - might have come for the cross on the 2nd? 3rd went by him from an ususually wide angle. Not definite mistakes, certainly questionable.

JC10 1,449 Posted December 17, 2017 Share Posted December 17, 2017 Short term memory loyal. The difference in amount of points he's saved us versus the amount he's cost us will be huge.
