v Sunderland (h) Sat

Showed on Sat he is a competent goalie.

Seeing some negative comments about Eriksson. I thought he was decent on debut. He had 3 good saves, commanded the box & looked the part. Forget the own goal, he appears to like an advanced role when we've got the ball! Charlie & he will get it together.

Dont agree tbh. I took the sh1te in training with a pinch of salt as well, and tbh mistakes can happen to any keeper as we seen numerous times with Seigrist in the last 6 months of last season, but removing his 2 errors.

1. He was never looking to start attacks, slowed down everything and resorted to kicking it high to Niskanen/Watt area. The most frustrating one for me was in first half, 2 of their players fell off the park, smith was open down right and we could have broke 3/4 on 4 as the other half of their team was still in box. He decided to hold on to the ball and let their 2 players get up, come back on to the pitch, completely get back in to formation then punt it to Niskanen

2. A couple of times he jumped to collect the ball he didn't look comfortable, one time he was caught under it due to miss timing his jump and actually caught it 2 hands behind his head a bit all whilst being under no pressure

3. he slid out a few times, never looked comfortable, and lost it once which we nearly conceded from

Even the Sunderland fans were mocking him every time he touched it


Honestly, i thought he had a shocker bar 1 save. Hopefully he gets better but on that showing he's not even a good back up
