lookwhaticando Posted 1 September 2006 Posted 1 September 2006 But we dont want a mixed bag as our keeper we play each week,to unreliable. We want a keeper we can reliy on each week like we used to with Walker. Even though Hendo hasnt done much wrong and he does deserve his place,i am not over confident in him. Im not too picky though. That's basically the consensus on the forums. Henderson's done nothing wrong, yet, so doesn't deserve to be dropped, but he doesn't actually fill anyone with much confidence. :pinch:
Wils Posted 1 September 2006 Posted 1 September 2006 That's basically the consensus on the forums.

Just hold your breath when he comes out for a cross

Just hold your breath when he comes out for a cross There's always Logan - he's worth a shot. He may not be as 'experienced' as the others, but apparently experienced goalkeepers mean nothing these days :laugh:

He may not be as 'experienced' as the others, but apparently experienced goalkeepers mean nothing these days :laugh: Well if Hendo falls injured id hope Logan was first choice to replace him rather than Rab. I suppose if your a decent goalie it doesnt matter what experience you have.
AyewJoking Posted 1 September 2006 Posted 1 September 2006 Rab is certainly prone to the frequent blunder but there are worse keepers in this league. I dont see how he can get back in the first sixteen right now, Henderson is doing fine and Logan is waiting in the wings.

Be careful what you say - certain members of te forum say this about many of our Academy players, and they get flamed to a crisp for saying something so 'outrageous' :laugh:
Manwell Pablo Posted 2 September 2006 Author Posted 2 September 2006 That's basically the consensus on the forums. Henderson's done nothing wrong, yet, so doesn't deserve to be dropped, but he doesn't actually fill anyone with much confidence. :pinch: I don't agree with that at all, he's kicking is crap and he's dropped a shed load of crosses in vital areas especially v Cov, he got a good hand to Andy Grays header which means he should of saved it, how can any one say " He had no chance with the goal" when he gets a soding hand to it? His reactions were piss poor for Ipswitches goal deflected or not a half decent keeper saves that. The only goal I think he had no chance of saving this season is Lutons first. Douglas granted is a liability but a least he can kick a ball and make some difficult saves! Henderson is just a sub par goalkeeper but doesn't make obvious mistakes. Its also unfair to have digs at Douglas for letting in two soft goals in pre season, as it says in the article the idiot was playing with a knackered shoulder. Douglas is just a victim of band Wagoner’s like a fair few of our players have/have been past and present.

Douglas is just a victim of band Wagoner’s like a fair few of our players have/have been past and present. You've gone a fair way there to explaining why I think Logan is our best keeper. Not the finished article but a goalkeeper who seems capable of dominating his area who judges and handles crosses well, who seems decisive, distributes the ball quickly and can kick like a mule.
Deathside Posted 2 September 2006 Posted 2 September 2006 Maybe Rab was only cráp because he had a shoulder injury
Thracian Posted 2 September 2006 Posted 2 September 2006 Maybe Rab was only cráp because he had a shoulder injury And maybe he wasn't but at his age: a) I don't much care about the reason cos I wouldn't want to lose Logan anyway and b) I don't think his lengthy shoulder injury is just going to conveniently disappear for ever.
Cobbo Posted 2 September 2006 Posted 2 September 2006 Conrad really is better than the other pair we have.
Suffolk_fox Posted 2 September 2006 Posted 2 September 2006 Rab has a good day and keeps a clean sheet. On a bad day, he really stuffs up bad. Bit like David James.... Incidentally, David James holds the record for the most number of Premiership goals conceded (Walker is second!!), but is also 4th in the Clean Sheets table!! Tells its own story that.

Douglas is just a victim of band Wagoner’s like a fair few of our players have/have been past and present. From what I remember, Rab was ironically cheered when he managed to kick the ball and keep it in play towards the beginning of last season. I also think that Henderson pulls off at least one difficult save every match. Often find myself standing and applauding an important save by him. Just add to the list of errors by Douglas, that totally unecessary bowl out to the flank against Watford at home when we were in a winning position. Three points thrown away against ten men. A 'keeper of his experience should not have done that.
Manwell Pablo Posted 3 September 2006 Author Posted 3 September 2006 His kicking is no where near as bad as Hendersons and I wouldn't even bother arguing otherwise. I've seen Henderson make about two good saves all season. As I say Robert is a liabilty this is a well known fact, however he's still a better keeper then Henderson. Conrad for number 1 Douglas on the bench. and you will find it was 2 points thrown away

If Logan was so good and Henderson is supposedly so rubbish, why isn't Logan getting in the team? And Douglas is clueless. Defence have no confidence in him whatsoever. Wouldn't be bothered if he never pulled the shirt on again for us.
Foxhateram Posted 3 September 2006 Posted 3 September 2006 Rab will get a chance if he proves then we will all love him again, is he flufs then RK will take him out, RK is not stupid and he has proven he can see a waste a space when he see's one EG the departure of MDV (who im sure was on X factor last night ) Logan should be benchy and hendo should start but Rab deserves a chance and he will get one. One beleive Stowell was talking about a Rotation system to so not sure what to think bout that.

One beleive Stowell was talking about a Rotation system to so not sure what to think bout that. Rab's had lots of chances and management is full of uncomfortable decisions. Leicester turned down a bid by Boston for Logan thus indicating that they see a future for the lad at Leicester.We don't need three goallie's. Time to let Rab move on.

Conrad for number 1 Douglas on the bench. and you will find it was 2 points thrown away 3 points or 2 points, it doesn't really matter. Points were thrown away due to a Douglas error and he's continued to make errors whether it be in friendlies or reserve matches since Henderson took his place in the team. He's done nothing to warrant replacing Henderson or even Logan on the bench.
Thracian Posted 4 September 2006 Posted 4 September 2006 3 points or 2 points, it doesn't really matter.

He's done nothing to warrant replacing Henderson or even Logan on the bench. Absolutely right. I didn't want to mention his Reserves performances cos someone would only have said they didn't count - but they've been totally uninspiring.

lookwhaticando Posted 4 September 2006 Posted 4 September 2006 Can I use this thread as a vehicle for my get rid of Hammond campaign? Certainly not. A 'get rid of Douglas' campaign would better suit the surroundings.

He's done nothing to warrant replacing Henderson or even Logan on the bench. Hendersons done nothing to warrant staying in the team, and he's already cost us points against Burnley as a half decent keeper would save that header. I am not calling Rab Douglas a decent keeper he is not by any strech of the imagination. He's rubbish, Henderson however is worse and we're lucky he's errors haven't cost us more then they have. Oundle, true he's let in one goal in the last three games. He let in a goal he should of saved against Ipswitch He dropped three basic catches against Coventry, and had nothing to do against Southend. Well done Paul. I don't see what harm could be done by giving Conrad Logan a go as he excelled himself during his time down at Boston.
