Jakub Stolarczyk

[ARM1968]

Thought he did well. Loved the kit. Great number 2. Good job.

We've got another three haven't we?

Well Ward and Iversen.

 

Don't think Smithie been seen has he?

[Jobyfox]

All this: “doesn’t fit our style of play”

and

”needs to be better on the ball”

 

Call me old fashioned, but I’d like to pick the keeper who’s most likely to keep the ball out of the ****ing net! 
 

I’m not entirely sure who that is yet …. but I just know that it isn’t Danny Ward any more than it is the one who plays up front for Huddersfield 

[Guest Sideshow Faes]

2 games, 2 clean sheets 👍

Nice guy!

We had two servicable keepers in the squad last year. How in the name of Jesus, Mary, Joseph and all the animals in the stable did Ward get so much as a kick?!

Made a good save from Koroma, but it came from his own mistake. 

 

Good option to have when Hermansen not available though. 

Still think Iversen should be in front of him, though Iversen really needs to improve his distribution though judging from this Jakub is only a bit better.

Enzo would rather pick a 22 year old who's never played at this level over someone who played in the PL and has over 70 Championship apps under his belt.

 

The reason being Jakub a lot better with his feet, not just a bit.

 

Iversen looks like a keeper back in the 80s with his feet.

 

Jakub was under pressure today league debut for the club and never played at this level, so you have to take in consideration nerves etc.

 

Iversen isn't going to play under Enzo

I don't think he considered Ward as the 5th keeper, and can you blame him? I'd rather have Huddersfield's Danny Ward in goal.

It's because we had an elite coach who knows more about the game than anyone else. Obviously Ward is world class but just misunderstood. 

 

And, apparently, according to the likes of Merson and Warnock, this same genius coach - who recognised Ward's brilliance - would have also kept us up last season, had we not got rid of him.

Shocking isn't it.

 

Well at least now we're sucking diesel! 

[Ian Nacho]

I know we're spoilt with Hermansen but not entirely sure Jakub is the answer as a backup going forwards. 

 

As a shot stopper he is fine and he is confident with the ball at his feet

 

However, I think he lacks the technical ability witn the ball at his feet to play the way we want to.

The alternative is Danny Ward...

That's why I said going forward. He's fine for now but if we're in the Premier League he is nowhere near the level. 

[LCFCJoe96]

I like him, can’t see us getting a better back up and he’s young enough that he’ll improve his technical side to go along with the pure shot stopping

Ward is the only keeper we've got with premier league experience.

But how much does that count for in his case? The best part of **** all?

As a backup he's more than good enough. He will only be playing in the FA cup and league cup for us.

I actually disagree. He is obviously behind Mads and with much a smaller amount of games is not fair to compare, but Stolarczyk actually plays the role in the same way as Mads which is hard to do and takes some bottle. He was still at times really high up and playing that additional CB role and pinging balls about.  He was less successful, but we were also playing a weaker team and most importantly one with Winks and Vesty who has higher possession stats than most Championship teams.   He has clearly learned a lot from Mads this season. I would actually like to see him get more game time and also some time with a full strength team. The problem is, Mads is so bloody good that feels a little unlikely. However, when needed today Stolarczyk pulled out some pretty decent saves. 

 

He should be happy with that i think. If Mads has a good PL season next year I don't expect him to hang around too long, and i think Stolarczyk continuing to learn offers us a good long term alternative.

Think you have to keep in mind he's a little inexperienced, 17 games at League 2 and 13 in the Scottish PL and what he's played for us.

 

He's also not played first time football since September.

 

Not sure buying a back up keeper will be priority if we go up.

[Old Fox]

Hopefully one lesson from last season is a goalkeeper is one of if not the most important positions in any PL side….if we go up Jakub will have to go out on loan as playing to develop is key - he will not be ready to be a back up. The gap to the PL is huge and Mads has potential but the step up will be a test and we will need lots of investment to be mid-table and not come straight back and a new keeper will be key imo ……not as a No.1 but certainly competing or reliable enough to step in…..a keeper like Dubravka or someone with experience

[TJB-fox]

Looked good with his feet in his few league games earlier in the season when mads was out. 
 

Can we stop these ridiculous knee-jerk reactions after one cup game in which we played a second string side? 

[CrispinLA in Texas]

Can't fault him for the goals but the commentator did mention his distribution was abit poor 

[Claudio Fannieri]

I think he has a fantastic back up to Mads as he plays in exactly the same style, very competent shot stopper and most importantly he enables to play exactly the same way. When you play the style we do and the keeper is asked to play out as much as they do then they will make the odd stray pass, I actually thought over the duration of the game he looked pretty good.
