madras Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Amazing that Forster has never even came on as a sub or played in any of the cup competitions for us. Think it's because for a while Krul was judged on the back of that night in Palmero which instantly cemented his place ahead of Forster in the pecking order. Overall though this has been beneficial for Forster as it's allowed him to gain experience and rack up game time on loan and to properly develop while Krul's spend large periods on the bench as our number 2. krul racked up game time at carlisle and falkirk didn't he ? from the very limited viewings of forster i've seen i'd be very tempted to place him ahead of krul.

binnsy Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 You must drink to excess before heading to Kingston Park, like. haha they've played at Whitley park for the last 4 seasons! come on then genius, give me his strengths and weaknesses and lets here why this lad should jump to the queue and while every manager we've had since Roeder has rated Krul the better keeper. Also I don't see England being blessed with a great bunch of young keepers yet despite playing week in week out in the championship and SPL he's not had a sniff of a U21 call up.

oldtype Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 We're going to have to make the hard choice eventually. There's not room for both of them at this club. Krul was decent but understandably pretty shaky when called upon this season, perhaps we could have them switch places next year so we can get some glimpses at how Forster does in the PL.

In all seriousness, he's what, 22? Keepers of that age don't command their area well as a general rule. They may shout and carry on like Joe Hart, but you can't really expect them to intelligently and assertively instruct those in front of them when they're a good 10 years of their peak.

But it is also a trend for all our goalkeepers since....as long as I can remember. Add bad kicking to that as well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Harper was a very good kicker of the ball when he first emerged under Gullit. I can only think that Bobby religiously had the keepers thowing the ball to full-backs in training, because when he finally got that stint in 2006 his kicking had massively deteriorated.

He's a more composed and dominant keeper than Krul. well i don't if he's improved on that score while on loan but after watching the pair of them come through the academy and reserves Forster has never been more composed or dominant than Krul. To be fair i think both of them need to be more dominant but then again they are both kids and that will come with experience. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't "hand" Harper a coaching contract unless his form deteriorates, he's 36 today. Consider Van der Sar, Friedel, Schwarzer, all 39 plus.
