Guest MarshallForEngland Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 Your name is Marshall For England. Do you have a point?
Guest MarshallForEngland Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 This coming from MarshallForEngland? Whether you mean Lee, Ben or Ian, I'm not sure, but it's difficult to read your post seriously. In other words, I am right and you have no idea what to say. By the way, my account was made before Ben Marshall played for us. And some of us can remember the tongue-in-cheek 'Marshall For England' chant being sung from the Filbert Street terraces. How any of this is relevant I don't know, it just shows how you have no argument except for this clueless non-sequitur.
Guest MarshallForEngland Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 Maybe people are getting behind the lad, or do we write off a player and slate him till he's no longer at the club? Also how on earth is conceding 7 goals in 5 games worse than conceding 10 goals in 5 games? Again, disingenuous. Read what I said; there were fewer shots on target for Hamer to save, so as a percentage of shots on target Kasper performed marginally better (and I already said that Hamer has not played enough games to make a long-term conclusion). But people have said he is in form, and I am saying the evidence suggests he is no better form than Schmeichel's that lead him to be slated.If you have two games, one with Hamer and the other with Kasper, and Hamer lets 0 goals in from 0 on target compared to Kasper conceding 1 goal from 10 shots on target, would you say Hamer had the better game? If not, why not? Answer that and you've understood why I'm right and you're not. Also, nobody is picking on Hamer. I am more than happy for him to be given his chance. I am simply pointing out the obvious fact that he is no better than Kasper despite many on here slating Kasper relentlessly and lauding Hamer as our saviour. And in certain areas, Hamer is demonstrably worse, kicking being one of them.
The Quick Brown Fox Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 I see what the stats say, but Hamer organises his defence better meaning he gets less shots at him. He also come's off his line and collects the ball before opposition get to it, again reducing the shots he has to deal with. I personally think Hamer is a better all round keeper than kasper.
Manwell Pablo Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 No. I think you're both being a bit disingenuous here. You can't slate Kasper game after game, demand Hamer replace him, and then act incredulous when somebody notices that your predictions about Hamer being the saviour of Leicester City weren't entirely accurate. Nobody is claiming Hamer is terrible and Kasper was a goalkeeping god, they are just questioning why you and others like you keep blindly spouting this pro-Hamer and anti-Kasper nonsense when it's totally without evidence and quite clear that our problems are not to do with who is in goal. The same people calling for Kasper's head are now saying how mightily impressed they are with Hamer, even though he makes the same mistakes and is statistically slightly worse in some areas (like the saves to shots on target ratio). And specifically regarding distribution: the average over all of their performances reveals Kasper's distribution is marginally better (48% to 41%), but Hamer has only played 6 games to Kasper's 14 so it's not really a big enough selection of data to make an informed conclusion. I have no problem with saying though that Hamer's kicking is very worrying at times; Kasper has never lacked power and sometimes he overhits kicks so they go out for a goalkick or a throw-in in the opposition half. Hamer sometimes doesn't manage to clear the half-way line, and he takes so much time deciding what to do with it that he has almost blasted it against oncoming players (he has already done this once, I think it was against Spurs but I can't actually remember). I have all the games so before the end of the season I'll try and make a compilation of each! I don't say this very often on this website but excellent post sir, hats off.
Sir Fynwy Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 Again, disingenuous. Read what I said; there were fewer shots on target for Hamer to save, so as a percentage of shots on target Kasper performed marginally better (and I already said that Hamer has not played enough games to make a long-term conclusion).

And in certain areas, Hamer is demonstrably worse, kicking being one of them. Do the shots on target quoted include the 2 penalties Hamer has faced? Penalties shouldn't be used in this context because saving them is pretty much luck (especially against one of the best takers in the game). I think Kasper and Hamer are pretty well matched with different strengths and weaknesses but Kasper won't walk back in when fit (which I've heard won't be until next season anyway).

Now 6 weeks sounded like bollocks but 5 months with a broken foot? Must be some break.
Sir Fynwy Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 Now 6 weeks sounded like bollocks but 5 months with a broken foot? Must be some break. The surgery could have gone badly and he's got a serious infection, we'll see when he starts training again, it's rumour but doesn't mean it couldn't happen.
The Blue Moon Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 Who is this Bert clown and why does everyone accept that he's ITK? Schwarzer will sit on the bench while Hamer plays. Pearson doesn't rate him is nonsense.
jimmeh Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 Who is this Bert clown and why does everyone accept that he's ITK? Schwarzer will sit on the bench while Hamer plays. Pearson doesn't rate him is nonsense. 100%. Schwarzer is joining on a months loan.
The Blue Moon Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 100%. Schwarzer is joining on a months loan. Ridiculous how people just believe anything he says despite repeatedly coming out with bullshit isn't it. Bert out!

Guest Col city fan Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 Ridiculous how people just believe anything he says despite repeatedly coming out with bullshit isn't it. Bert out! I've been a bit naive over the years on this forum, often accepting that people actually do know quite a bit about what's happening, with all sorts of stuff. I don't relate this particularly to Bert. There's been plenty I've believed and then wondered 'what the f..k'! It's all been bull-plop. Now I just wait and see.
The Blue Moon Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 Bert is a good source the blue moon. Maybe by 'I post shit on FoxesTalk' standards but it's hardly the same as you get from chatting to any players or club insiders. Relatively speaking he might be better at guessing than most, but time and time again his bullshit gets exposed and this is another.
MC Prussian Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 Who is this Bert clown and why does everyone accept that he's ITK? Schwarzer will sit on the bench while Hamer plays. Pearson doesn't rate him is nonsense. I'm sorry, but the clown's on you. Bert's been around a bit longer on here, and mostly with correct information. He also never claims to be ITK, only that he's got good sources that tend to quite reliable. Also, would you mind changing your username to something less Manchester City?
ADK Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 I'm sure Bert knows some people around the club but it's ludicrous to suggest Pearson would make it known he doesn't rate Hamer when we are forced to use him even if it were true. We're in for a keeper and Hamer made a mistake vs Spurs so someone's had a punt at sounding knowledgeable and said he doesn't rate him. As for the guy cherry picking stats, you do realise 7 conceded from 20 shots (35% conceded) on target is a better record than 10 conceded from 25 shots (40% conceded) on target? That's both percentage wise and in absolute terms and includes the handicap of Hamer facing two penalties.
The Doctor Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 Maybe by 'I post shit on FoxesTalk' standards but it's hardly the same as you get from chatting to any players or club insiders. Relatively speaking he might be better at guessing than most, but time and time again his bullshit gets exposed and this is another. Is it? because what Bert's got seems to match what Aussie sources and John Percy (who is very reliable with news about us) has said. Things may change, but it seems far more likely that he's right than some utter tool with a history of being wrong.
SOCCERROO FOX Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 Great to have one of the legends of Australian football at my club. Wish he was a little younger but I'll take it.
The Blue Moon Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 MC Prussian - it's a famous Leicester pub, fiercely loyal and heavily associated to LCFC. If you were from Leicester you'd know. ADK - Great post. Sometimes these morons need stats spelling out to them. It's very obvious Hamer has out-performed Kasper. The Doctor - Enjoy believing Bert and his glorious sources if it makes you happy, look forward to seeing how Schwarzer gets on against Villa.

I'm not trusting berts sources because I want it to be true - I'm trusting them because a lot of respectable sources are saying it and he has a decent track record of being right. Oh, and I've never heard of the blue moon pub, and according to google it closed down in 1989. It's hardly something people from Leicester will know unless they're about 50 at the minimum.

Blue moon was a shit fight a night dive only famous with the local constabulary
Guest Col city fan Posted 3 January 2015 Posted 3 January 2015 Blue moon was a shit fight a night dive only famous with the local constabulary Can't argue with that! Just off Hinckley Road wasn't it. it certainly continued a lot longer than 1989 though.
