davieG Posted 11 August 2005 Share Posted 11 August 2005 We're building up a real problem with our goalkeepers without delving too deep into confirming facts, which I know I should but with Rab letting in 6 in 2 games and Henderson letting in 11 in two of his games I'm getting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john_lcfc Posted 11 August 2005 Share Posted 11 August 2005 look on the bright side. Rab conceded 4 in his first competitive match and 2 in the second. Hes getting better so 4-2??? it will be one against ipswich and 0 against everyone else Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitesh Posted 11 August 2005 Share Posted 11 August 2005 The facts speak for them selves but there have only been a few games played by both keepers and Rab had a considerably better game against Stoke. Give him a few more matches to settle in, play with the same defence and i think he will be ok. He is the best that we could have at the moment considering the amount of money we have.

Guest Posted 11 August 2005 Share Posted 11 August 2005 Usually I'd defend the keeper by telling you there are 10 men infront of him, but in the case of Rab Douglas I don't think I could! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Durnerz Posted 11 August 2005 Share Posted 11 August 2005 He did look a lot better vs Stoke but still looks indecisive about coming out to players feet, mind you having had a peno given against you for doing exactly that on the first day can't have helped. What worries me more though is that the two goals against Stoke came from players Paddy Mccarthy should have been watching. We need communication in the back 4, i'm yet to see Rab really command his Defence. Nils Eric leads by example but not vocally so we need someone back there to take that responsibility on.

I'm getting nervous posting at all - especially having not been a Premiership manager - in fact I'm surprised the forum's not been put on hold til Christmas so there's sufficient time to form a fair, rational and indisputable opinion on everything that's been going on.

davieG Posted 11 August 2005 Author Share Posted 11 August 2005 Maybe but he's more vocal than mogadon Walk about Walker was I'm not implying that all the goals were the fault of the keeprs but I would suggest that letting in that many goals would affect anyones confidence no matter who was at fault.

Just been reviewing the goals... seems as if he narrowly missed the ball in one case and this resulted in a goal. It also seems that he was in support of Connolly during one of his goal-scoring actions (Paddy was taking care of a player who would otherwise have been targeting Connolly). No one can be everywhere all the time... I thought Maybury was quite vocal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
