Blimey!! Have I just seen a keeper in a Tarn shirt, come out and catch a few crosses!!!! Fair enough he dropped one, but get in theer, he actually attempted to take charge!!!!!!
Aye - he took 10 mins to settle in though - looked more shaky at crosses than Colgan. After that you couldn't fault him. And just like with you - amazing to see a Reds keeper who comes off his line!
Shaky 1st 10 minutes? He scared the rap out of me! but as everyone says, he was good after that and quite impressed me.
Another good reason to start him IMHO Colgan's hoofing rarely gets us anywhere (OK it got us our first goal last night) given we're not the tallest of teams. Encouraging us to pass the ball on the ground from the back seems to fit in with what we're good at.
colgan is still the best keeper we have no question of that.</p> i think he gets so much unfair criticsm.</p>
Too soon to judge Lucas but ...... ..... he did ok last night and I am convinced that Colgan's hesitancy and uncertainty causes more than enough problems for our defenders, regardless of the odd 'point-blank' save that he makes. Give Lucas a run in the team and lets see if thing improve, in my opinion we will always struggle with Colgan in goal
RE: Too soon to judge Lucas but ...... Yes Lucas did quite well last night. Would prefer to see him over 2/3 games and then make a judgement.
Colgan can't come too far off his line or he'd get lost going back. I blame it on cheap Japanese Sat Nav!
he was also there to accept passbacks not like colgan rushing out at the last minute,also rolls the ball out to his full backs to build up attacks instead of just hoofing it upfield,i could go on,he should be our new no 1,just hope he doesn,t get injured!
I liked quite a lot but he did seem to vanish amongst the crowd ofplayers at corners. His distribution is different to Colgans, but dont forget that aspect of a keepers game is down to coaching instructions and agreed game plan. There was a definite change at half time in that,
