Paully Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 That one he got after we went in front. Ha ha aye! I think that stemmed from Ritchie bizarrely having a shot from a mental angle 35 yards out which bobbled to their keeper rather than passing to Murphy to run down time on the wing!

jackyboy Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I think he's the best goalkeeper we've had in years and will get better. He's better than Krul who's distribution was woeful. Games changed from when the keeper got the ball and hoofed it as far up the pitch as he could. The keeper plays like an extra defender now, passing the ball around to retain possession. It is made a bit more difficult with Lascelles launching so called back passes at you but I doubt if Lascelles will be a regular next season because he'll get raped in the Prem league (assuming we go up of course) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He costs us a goal in basically every second game at the minute Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Krul hasn't been anywhere near his best for arguably 5 years now, mind. I haven't seen him first hand, but it sounds like he's not pulling up any trees at Alkmaar either. Luckily he's still in a position where his best years can still be ahead of him though.

Benwell Lad Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Even Krul just before his injury wasn't making near as many mistakes as Darlow is now I suppose being unable to be able to deal with looping headers is not really a "mistake" but he just couldn't deal with anything coming to him that way and it cost quite a few goals. Tim was a great young keeper and prospect but sadly he regressed at an age when he should have progressed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim was a great young keeper and prospect but sadly he regressed at an age when he should have progressed. Remind me who was coaching Krull at that time . Krul wash't as bad as he's now being made out to have been. His distribution wasn't as good as it should have been and that was his greatest weakness.

Colos Short and Curlies Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Actually I trust Darlow a lot more when the pressure is on and he is being constantly called into action than I do when he hasn't had a lot to do for 10 minutes or so. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmoset Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 He's not better than the diminished Krul of the last couple of years even, don't think it's even close. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krul never made near as many mistakes as Darlow is now Krul made plenty of errors - some of them utter howlers. Made almost as many in one game against Southampton I recall as Darlow has made in the last dozen games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jayson Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 I think he's got a lot of potential to improve still & he will do under Rafa. Same as Lascelles & Dummett. People are overdoing the error situation, he had the mistake v Rotherham where he made a last ditch save & since then he's had a few nervy moments on back passes/long balls. Its not a long term thing imo, just about communication. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jayson Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 The mistakes he's making aren't just to do with communication. Not completely, but a few notable ones like the Clark og, Jerome's goal & Bristol's 2nd. He's made a few dodgy calls since he slid out the area at Rotherham though, before that he was seen as fairly solid so i think he's just become a bit nervy with his decision making on long balls etc. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marmoset Posted March 2, 2017 Share Posted March 2, 2017 Yeah but for me the goalkeeper position needs to be solid first and foremost, unless you've got someone who you know in time will be absolutely amazing. It's not like a young winger who can come on for 20 minutes here and there to slowly improve, without much consequence if he has a bad game. If he's not up to standard already then he will cost us points that will be even more precious in the premier league while we're waiting for him to potentially improve.

STM Posted March 3, 2017 Share Posted March 3, 2017 I don't want to be taking sides or nowt but surely conceding loads of goals isn't necessarily a sign of a bad goalkeeper. It could be that his side/defence are shite. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
