sage Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 How many goals can be mainly or partly attributed to keeper error this season? How many points this cost us? Two that spring to mind are against Peterborough home and away Fielding's penalty give away at home and Ledgzins' fumble away. Neither cost us points though. From memory I can visualise at least 4-5 more but can't remember which games they were in. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CumbrianRam Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Fielding had a poor game at Boro away if I recall correctly, made on mistake which cost a goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 We were out of the game at Leicester after half an hour due to some atrocious defending from corners. Part of the keepers job to organise that sort of thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DcFc Dyycheee Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Was 2 points as we got a draw. So we did, cost us 2 then. He still made an error Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 There haven't been single catastrophic errors of the standard we saw from Bad Jones when he was here on loan - well, nothing in the 'let the ball between your legs when the shot's bounced twice before it has reached you' standard anyway - but the keeper is in charge and it is his job to help the central defenders regarding organising the defence. It would also be nice to have a keeper who could distribute the ball with hand or foot - and by 'distribute' I don't mean 'distribute between rows J and Q'.

notts_ram Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 All goals should be attributed to a keeper error as by default the keeper should have saved them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 All goals should be attributed to a keeper error as by default the keeper should have saved them all. In which case, I'll settle for a keeper who just makes the 40 a season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronnieronalde Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 The Palace goal at home. I know there were excuses made at the time but Adams reactions in not getting to the ball earlier cost us the goal. I noticed him and Keogh had a set to about it as well. Both decent keepers and would have been happy with either of them next season. Maybe the management team think we needed someone with a bit more of a calming presence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animal is a Ram Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Keeper seems to me to be the one area where youth is not an advantage. I think it's worth noting that while most outfield players peak about 25/26, keepers tend to be closer to 29/30/31 to be in their prime. Both Frank and Adam are or under 25. I would much rather we keep one of these (although it sounds like they'd rather move on) with Lee Grant. If you don't make mistakes, you don't learn.

DCFCfranco Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 A lot of mistakes made this season. Hope grant throws it more and has a bit more urgency. Feilding and Lego take an age then good it into touch. We barely ever counter attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 Sheff W away, Legz Hmm I didn't think they were mainly his fault. Poor defending and reffing. The Palace and Cardiff games are two more definites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilkleyram Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 I sit in the East stand because I'm used to a side on view, but at Barnsley I sat behind the goal. What struck me was the inaccuracy of the kicking from goalkeeper to front man. The forward had to run at least 20 yards to get anywhere near it, every time; as a result they were always trying to control a ball moving away from them and on the run. Last night I watched Swansea v Wigan. Not a top of the table clash by any means but both goalies managed on a fair number of occasions to roll the ball out and/or to kick it straight to one of their own players. If Lee Grant can manage to increase the percentage of both we will be much better off. And the front players will be much less knackered as well as looking better footballers overnight.
