G STAR RAM Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 As good as Grant has been at times this season, I think we are at the stage where his howlers have cancelled out the good work.Would Saturday be a good time to let Roos get a taste of the action before potentially 3 play off games?Or could it damage the confidence of a young keeper to be playing behind a defence who's porous tendencies are on a par with British border control?

YorkshireRam Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Roos isn't good enough.They didn't trust him enough to start him when Grant was injured so why would they now, at a more pivotal point of the season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Who says he isn't good enough. He hasn't had a chance.the issue is whether he would be better - i.e. make fewer errors. No-one had heard of Colin Boulton when he was promoted from the reserves.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramos Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I don't think it's a case of him not being good enough, he's certainly impressed me in cup games and Eric Steele spotted him so I trust his judgement aswell. I think earlier this season they didn't think he was quite ready to come in and they knew grant would miss about 6 games. Butland would never have come on loan to sit on the bench. Anyhow I'm not sure bringing him in now would make a world of difference. But I think we need to try anything to turn our defence around so if he came in I'd like to see him do well.

Alph Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 A confident Grant under Steele is a brilliant Champ keeper.Little slip ups starting at Bournemouth have been a downward spiral. How do you get him back? I'd rather have him back than Roos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can we afford that at such a pivotal point?A draw is good enough for us next week, if our forwards are firing blanks do you have faith in Grant keeping a clean sheet?

The_Sheriff Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 you cant throw a youngster in at this stage, grant is a top top keeper and just struggling a bit lately, probably due to the confidence hes lacking with the 4 in front of him. But he will come good again, form is temporary class is permanent! Also hes an experienced head that we may need next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimmu Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Just posted on the other thread about this.It's time for Roos.I don't have any faith in Grant, can't see our defenders having much either. He suprised me earlier being as good as was, but now he is playing worse than he really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No excuse for conceding from corners, missing punches, kicking to the opposition or doing silly passes that put defence under pressure, most of them come from a lack of concentration or being complacent in my opinion.

ilkleyram Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 So, just before (hopefully) four of the biggest games of our season - which could still end up with us getting promoted - the suggestion is that we throw into the fray a young guy with a promising future and practically no experience, behind a back four that is already as nervous as kittens and will probably change in personnel yet again in the next match?I saw Granty make a ricket of a kick yesterday that led to a goal, sure. I also saw him make two top class saves in quick succession in the second half which, if either had gone in, would have caused us to lose the match. And I have seen him make point gaining and match winning saves all season, including over the last few matches when we have struggled defensively.Changing him would be a huge gamble. And daft.

RadioactiveWaste Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Na, I don't think it'd help Roos or the defence right now.we just need to start the "we're gonna win 4-3" chants before kick off! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-JW- Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Rotherham away, Wolves away, Huddersfield away, Millwall away. That's just the past 8 weeks where he has made horrific howlers, costing us points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uptherams Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 If Roos can catch the ball, anticipate balls in behind and command his box better from set pieces then stick him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 It's almost like Maclaren has had his fingers burnt in the past by playing an untested goalkeeper in a big match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G STAR RAM Posted April 26, 2015 Author Share Posted April 26, 2015 I'm not forgetting that Grant has done good things too this season.Its just when goalkeepers make mistakes they most likely give away a goal and that is happening far too often over the last 2 or 3 months Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
