It's a great read, full of insights and including the line, "I’ve got four caps, and I was 26 when I got my last one. But I know deep down that I’m 10-20 times better now than I was when I got those caps. My all round game, and how much more comfortable I am at controlling different situations, is a lot better.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamLad1884 Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Was going to start a new Scott Carson thread, think this one needs revisiting now. The Man, The Myth, that is Scotty Carson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MackworthRamIsGod Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I thought he was over rated last year, his distribution at times was very poor and he often put his defense under unnecessary pressure. This year he has been immense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheresOnlyWanChope Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Possibly along with Keogh and Vydra our most important player at the moment (in my opinion) and best keeper I’ve seen at Derby since Poom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve How Hard? Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 The bugger has cost me some money recently. Always back Derby to win and both teams to score. He had a worldy at Middlesboro too when the odds were pretty big. Happy to keep throwing my money at the bookie as long as we keep winning though. Keep up the good work and beam us up Scotty.

My all round game, and how much more comfortable I am at controlling different situations, is a lot better.” we all know England like to pick up and coming keepers, or indeed any position, unless they are regularly playing well in the premier league for a big club. There are many Gks not just carson who have 1 or 2 caps when they were young and are actually much better now, but they all know they will never be called up again. If Carson was Welsh, scottish, irish, he would of course be in their squads because they are not afraid to pick a good player in the championship. Their managers and coaches even watch the championship. But England on the other hand is an arrogant animal which will only pick premier league players, and when it runs out of good options it would rather pick a 20 year old with no top flight experience as long as they are owned by a Man Utd, City, Liverpool, Tottenham or Chelsea.

G STAR RAM Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I have been, and still am, critical of his distribution and commanding of his area. Believe this is what is stopping him from being a top class goalkeeper. That being said, his primary job is keeping the ball out of the net and he's certainly doing that well. Can definitely say that he has contributed to our points tally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
