Goalkeeper

[DUFCstokie]

Please dont try and create a different meaning to my comments! He made many mistakes after he dislodged Rakovan and didnt become solid until after a run of games and a proper defence was put in front of him.

But solid as a shot stopper is all he became, because other aspects of a goalkeepers game were just not there and i would not even see him in my top 10, never mind top 5 or even best! Your user name is interesting if that alludes to how long you have been a supporter, because in that time ive seen in no particular order....

Hamish,
Thompson,
Main,
Sieb,
Guido,
The Monk,
Rado,
Zaluska
Pernis,
Combe,
Gallacher,
Maxwell,
Bullock,
Bell,

Thats 14 before i even think about Benji, but some of those had very shaky starts as well, but they were all given time, and i think Birigitti needs that as well.

What about Peter "The Cat" Bonetti. Wee Jim signed him to give Hamish some competition. Didn't quite work out.

Just shows you it's all about opinions, eh?
I would put the following all before Benji
Hamish,
Thompson,
Sieb,
Guido,
The Monk,
Rado,
Zaluska
Pernis,
Maxwell,

Thomson was excellent too

Onstad & Hirchfield. Two Canadian internationalists who never got much or any games. Also Kamara never got a game either. Will Erkisson have the one friendly and that'll be his lot?

New club
New country
New living accommodation
New food
New team mates
Getting 7 put by you on live TV because your defence and midfield never turned up

Yeah, definitely has made mistakes but I think we need to see 2 or 3 more games before we write him off.

A lot of focus on the keeper understandably but I'm not seeing any threads about Edwards and Mulgrew.

A good servant to the club but I was never that confident in Main

Agree with a few of the others being ahead of Benji - we have had some very good keepers over the years

I have rewatched the AZ goals. The keeper could be questioned at least for the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th goals.

He doesn’t seem to expect the shots and either doesn’t move or the ball goes through him

The 3rd he just comes for cross and totally misses it

I have the fear in having to persist with this all season

Well that's better than i thought only at fault for 4 of the 7,what's everybody worried for?.

I honestly think we should give Erikson a chance in the next two games. If he’s up for it, he keeps the jersey. If he’s not, we get in Clark before the end of the window. We can’t go beyond Aug like this.
