SEMTEX Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Krul has been dogshit for ages and wouldn't get back in ahead of Elliot if he was fit right now for me like, his distribution alone makes him a distinct liability. Not saying Elliot is world class but the bloke clearly has talent. I'd still rather have Krul in goal. He commands the area more. Elliott has done alright as a back up, but he doesn't really do anything that well.Not fast off his line, doesn't come for the high balls with confidence and won't stop a half decent strike unless it's right at him. He saves the ones that most keepers would save though. I've seen none of that to be honest, Blob is always having a go at the back line, and I've seen him save various shots that were'n right at him including 2-3 yesterday. He's a good goalkeeper but people don't like him because of something he may or may not have said to a fan about our expectations, if Krul had performed like that yesterday there would be no end of praise. I can't even remember what he said. What I can remember is that he didn't actually jump for the ball yesterday on the goal he conceded. He shoved his arm out and then dropped to the ground. His reactions are poor. Ridiculously harsh that like. It's more undeniable fact like m8. I'm absolutely fine with him as a backup keeper. He's been playing well. Made some decent saves one would hope for from a backup PL keeper. Still isn't actually very talented, and his reactions are still poor. His slowness is probably why he looked so hollywood on some of the regulation saves yesterday. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 As far as the "straight at him" nonsense goes, isn't that good positioning on his part? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye can't wait for Krul to come back and gift opposition chances with poor kicking and flap at every cross, love it when hes always beaten at his near post too.

sempuki Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Has done much better than I thought he would. I think I read he has a better points per game average than Krul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astroblack Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Krul was pretty bad at the end of last season. He should have saved a lot of the goals that went in. The QPR game in particular. A little competition is a good thing. I hope Elliot continues to do well. As far as him getting MOTM, good. I'd rather he felt like a million bucks than like shit which I'm sure you guys would all lap up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

La Parka Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Been better than Krul without a doubt. Seems to have the respect of the other players. Can't see Krul getting back in if he keep this up. Pretty sure Krul has been very complacent prior to his injury so its good for everyone he has some genuine competition.

Heron Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Where do you draw the line for saying he has been consistent? He's been decent for like most his games since being back in the side. What's what like 6 games? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Forest fan I used to play fives with said Darlow had England potential. I'm a bit narked as I want to see what he's like, especially as I'd fancy him as our number one rather than Elliot if/when we peddle Krul. However I wouldn't be surprised if it's the case sooner rather than later. Elliot seems to have a knack for picking up injuries. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzza Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Goal was completely the fault of the defense, janmaat and another player were very poor and should have closed the space as soon as he moved. Elliot is playing ok for me, I suppose with a run of matches he is now "match fit" and has more confidence than when used sparingly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HawK Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Krul's stagnated badly over the past 5 years. Elliot's transformation is nothing short of extraordinary. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Krul's stagnated badly over the past 5 years. Elliot's transformation is nothing short of extraordinary. Elliot has improved since Woodman has left us, maybe Krul can make the same improvement if we have a better coach working with him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
soyt Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Totally out of his depth. It is quite incredible. He is no world beater but have to say that he has proved me (and lot of people) wrong. He is the least of worries in the squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 He's doing ok but I'm surprised there's no Darlow. Eliott is never a number 1 here, but if Darlow comes in and does well, the club have the perfect excuse to cash in on Krul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjb Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Thought he saved us the point yesterday. Villa had a few chances on target and had he been the old Blob, Villa could have nicked it. Doing well right now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aiston Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Totally out of his depth. It is quite incredible. He is no world beater but have to say that he has proved me (and lot of people) wrong. He is the least of worries in the squad. So many people are so fickle, it's been a few games of decent form. He looked out of his depth as per usual on crosses vs Villa. Flappy blob. Spends too much time pushing the defender and running out into no mans land punching fresh air. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leek Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Tbf hes always looked an adequete back up keeper I've thought, remember he was highly rated at Charlton. Its just that hes a fat bastard and the fact hes a professional footballer in the PL just kind of takes the piss, especially considering that hes getting paid thousands to sit on his arse most the time and cant even sort it out it out. You'd rather a young keeper like Darlow who might have potential to be our no.1 get a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
