Matt Posted 29 January 2008 Posted 29 January 2008 I like the lad, he seems quite good and he's only going to improve at his age, and three clean sheets in a row, but i've read people praising the fact he's a good kicker, I don't see it myself, Last night the majority of his kicking was shocking, and I didn't think it was that good against Coventry. Other than that not bad...Still miss our Marton though

Plus, the bobbly pitch didn't help much last night.
Dames Posted 29 January 2008 Posted 29 January 2008 Always something to moan about Aslong as he keeps the ball out of the net he's doing a good job in my eyes.

Fez of Mahrez Posted 29 January 2008 Posted 29 January 2008 Whatever the reason, I can't remember the last time a City goalkeeper started his career with three clean sheets. Considering we were left in a bit of a mess when Fulop suddenly left, I think we can count ourselves extremely lucky indeed to have Alnwick.
Dames Posted 29 January 2008 Posted 29 January 2008 All you seem to do is moan about other people moaning Not really moaning. Pointing out that they are moaning about the most tedious of things looking for something to moan about. Who cares if the keepers kicks don't send strikers through into 1 on 1s really? Its his job to keep the ball out of the net, not lay on chances for our strikers.
Matt Posted 29 January 2008 Author Posted 29 January 2008 I'd personally call it constructive criticism. I'm praising him, I like the lad, as you said he's keep the ball out the net and to have had a GK to come in, in such a rush and to have made 3 clean sheets in 3 games is great, but something he in my eyes needs to improve on is his kicking instead of it going out for a throw in 8 out of 10 times (Which is what was happening last night).

That's what forums are for, the better the result and or performance the pinickety fans will get, it's what footy fans do!
Durnerz Posted 29 January 2008 Posted 29 January 2008 I was impressed with Alnwick last night, that punch under extreme pressure from the corner, some good takes when he needed to relieve the pressure, good coming off his line. Plus a huuuuuuge kick. I like the guy.
Finnegan Posted 29 January 2008 Posted 29 January 2008 I shit myself thinking he's going to break his leg every time he kicks.
ousefox Posted 29 January 2008 Posted 29 January 2008 he does that weird thing with his leg... His knee touches the floor every time!!!!!!
lildave3 Posted 29 January 2008 Posted 29 January 2008 I keep meaning to watch his leg at goal kicks. I keep forgetting to watch his leg at goal kicks.
Nath Posted 29 January 2008 Posted 29 January 2008 I keep meaning to watch his leg at goal kicks.I keep forgetting to watch his leg at goal kicks. Must be hard trying to look over people's shoulder?! *runs*
lildave3 Posted 29 January 2008 Posted 29 January 2008 Must be hard trying to look over people's shoulder?!*runs* OOOOOOOOHHHH you went there. But yes. P.s Have I met you before?
Nath Posted 29 January 2008 Posted 29 January 2008 OOOOOOOOHHHH you went there.But yes. P.s Have I met you before? Probably seen me around at a few away games. Never introduced though.

Until i see him make a save i can't judge, heard he made saves at Norwich game but i weren't there

I started it with the title - Alnwick's Kicking.

Until i see him make a save i can't judge, heard he made saves at Norwich game but i weren't there I'm not interested in your thoughts at all, but is it safe to say the play-offs are now 100% on?
Ibbyfox Posted 29 January 2008 Posted 29 January 2008 Have to say he's not really been tested. I'm not knocking him, it's just I need to see him under a bit of pressure to judge. Against Cov we were lucky to not concede after mix-up between alnwick and stearman - I'll let him off that given it was his first game with those defenders. He pulled off 2 good saves against Norwich although was lucky with 2 Dublin attempts on the woodwork. Against Palace, he looked solid but again was not put under immense pressure. The jury's out in my opinion ............. and they're bloody cold and need to get some proper coats!!
Geo V Posted 29 January 2008 Posted 29 January 2008 Sign him up before he keeps a few more clean sheets and his boss slaps a 3m asking price around his neck.
Nationwider Posted 29 January 2008 Posted 29 January 2008 Every goalkeeper is shit at kicking. That's why they ended up going in goal in the first place. Chilavert and Higuita excluded, of course.
Jack Posted 29 January 2008 Posted 29 January 2008 3 games, 3 clean sheets can't ask much more from the lad. Aslong as he keeps the ball out of the net then I couldn't care less what his kicking is like
