Guest Col city fan Posted 10 May 2013 Posted 10 May 2013 I know I've criticised Kasper sometimes for his insistence on the long-ball distribution but this man has been immense recently IMO. Without him in goal I doubt we'd be in the play-offs and with him in the team I think we have half a chance of getting through to Wembley. I know it's been posted before but sod it, I just wanted to post to appreciate the impact Kasper is having at the moment and long may it continue. I fear if we don't go up, he's off and I reckon there would be plenty of takers. For me, him and Marshall are the best keepers in the division by a country mile.
NewburyFox Posted 10 May 2013 Posted 10 May 2013 Couldn't agree more. He's been fantastic recently and with him in goal, were we to go to a penalty shoot-out with Watford then I would feel confident as he seems to have the knack of guessing the right way and on top of that is an excellent shot stopper. Can see him leaving if we don't go up this season.
StanSP Posted 10 May 2013 Posted 10 May 2013 I just love how he feels so much emotion and passion much like any fan would when we score, concede, win or lose. The way he goes about showing those emotions shows that he genuinely cares for the club and wants us to go up. Just take a look at the celebration of our goal yesterday - it's almost as if he is crying with joy!
EnglishOxide Posted 10 May 2013 Posted 10 May 2013 I cant believe that there are people who criticise him tbh. He has been our best keeper in 10 years, sure he is slightly dodgy from corners and has let a few long rangers in but they are minor weaknesses, and only occur because he is not as big as somw other keepers. We've had to put up with Weale, Henderson and Ricardo in the past ffs. Be grateful!
One Arm Babba Posted 10 May 2013 Posted 10 May 2013 He's a premier league keeper in a championship team. If we go up he will stay, if not, then the fulhams, west hams, swanseas, Southamptons of this world will be in for him.
dynamark Posted 10 May 2013 Posted 10 May 2013 Shoot me if you will but it would be nice if Kasper had Ricardos distribution.Ricardo felt he was one of the outfield team as well.Kaspers attitude is ive done my bit im going to whack it as far as possible and let the rest of you get on with it.Great shotstopper but melting it long time after time when we needed composure.Just one area we could improve in and keep the football which we pretty good at times.Seemed to get it back fairly easily last night due to the intensity and pace but may not be the case on sunday
Lambert09 Posted 10 May 2013 Posted 10 May 2013 He is our best player by a country mile. More people should be able to see this
peach0000 Posted 10 May 2013 Posted 10 May 2013 He is our best player by a country mile. More people should be able to see this Morgan?
Charl91 Posted 10 May 2013 Posted 10 May 2013 Didn't start off the season too well, I thought, but he seems to be back to his best. Huzzah!

Mark_w Posted 10 May 2013 Posted 10 May 2013 He is our best player by a country mile. More people should be able to see this Wes Morgan is better.
EnglishOxide Posted 10 May 2013 Posted 10 May 2013 Its obviously a clear tactic from Pearson. The problem is that it often fails to stick to the guy he is lumping it too. Kaspers kicking is one thing he has over other goalkeepers so im not surprised they are trying to use it.
Mad Dog Posted 10 May 2013 Posted 10 May 2013 Biggest Foxestalk cliche by a mile is <whichever keeper is our number 1> has shit distribution. Are you kidding me? His distribution is great. The fact he's lumping it long is because he's been told to, not just because he wants to the ball away from him. He'll have a long and successful career in the top flight. I just hope it's with us.
Fox92 Posted 10 May 2013 Posted 10 May 2013 Wouldn't say he is 'Premier League goalkeeper'. There has to be a reason why he is 26 and has only ever played regular for Leicester, Leeds and Notts County. He has played well recently, but so have the rest of the team. Made some good saves yesterday especially, but his goal kicks need to be worked on - he does kick it too far, where as I look at Almunia, who always gets his kicks on the forwards' head. Best goalkeeper since Ian Walker, but not irreplaceable.
dmayne7 Posted 10 May 2013 Posted 10 May 2013 Wes Morgan is better. Perhaps Morgan will be harder to replace and is more central to what we do as a team but who would you be more confident in making the step up? I think Morgan could be a good PL player wheras Kasper will be a good PL and that is the difference.

Manwell Pablo Posted 10 May 2013 Posted 10 May 2013 I'd be worried if he's our "best player" makes good saves but the amounts of times he just pushes things back into dangerous areas instead over the top or round the post worries me and makes me question his Premier League credentials. Wouldn't mind seeing him jog on if we got Foderingham or Moore, massively over rated by our fans due to the dire keepers we've had before and his fist pumping and fan clapping
Fox in exile Posted 10 May 2013 Posted 10 May 2013 His long kicks are surely part of the tactical plan/strategy of the manager.
marbelladave Posted 10 May 2013 Posted 10 May 2013 Both are massively over rated in my view. I've explained why often enough so I'm not getting into it again, Their failure to dominate our box was a recurring theme.......

He'll do well to repeat it no matter what division we are in and he has started to tail off in the last 2-3 months but on the whole he's been outstanding.
cuddly ken Posted 10 May 2013 Posted 10 May 2013 Morgan is having a great season. He'll do well to repeat it no matter what division we are in and he has started to tail off in the last 2-3 months but on the whole he's been outstanding. Morgan will struggle big time in the Prem.
Manwell Pablo Posted 10 May 2013 Posted 10 May 2013 Morgan will struggle big time in the Prem. There would be very few of our players that wouldn't.
Haydos Posted 10 May 2013 Posted 10 May 2013 If Pearson wasn't okay with his long ball distribution he wouldn't be doing it. Simple as that, he'll be on orders to an extent. Morgan will struggle big time in the Prem. Every one of our players will according to you. We get it, we're shit.
marbelladave Posted 10 May 2013 Posted 10 May 2013 Morgan is our captain, leader and most experienced central defender. We are completely bobbins at defending corners or other set pieces, he and Schmeichel should be totally dominating our area but they don't and it is costing us. Of course it could be all the fault of our useless midfield.......
Manwell Pablo Posted 10 May 2013 Posted 10 May 2013 If Pearson wasn't okay with his long ball distribution he wouldn't be doing it. Simple as that, he'll be on orders to an extent. Every one of our players will according to you. We get it, we're shit. He aint far wrong is he. It's a big jump.
