DCFC1388 Posted February 17, 2019 Author Share Posted February 17, 2019 I wonder if this would mean Roos or Carson could be going. Roos may be out of contract but imo has earnt a new deal, Carson hasnt been at his best this season so maybe Roos would be a cheaper backup than Carson if Walton was to join as no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Roos will surely only stay for first team football. Depends whether Frank has seen enough to promote him. Tough one. Personally i would go with Roos due to his age, athleticism, and superior kicking ability. He's ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Hm, we obviously want to replace Carson which is the right call imo but tbh I think Roos is ready for the job. He was fantastic yesterday and is good at distributing as well. Can’t say I’d be too excited by a goalie on loan at Wigan who’ve been struggling really, would he be an upgrade?

Carson has been our number 1 all season until he got injured, until he’s back fit we don’t know what Lampard’s plans are. Roos is out of contract in the summer, he might want out having been here a number of years and failed to establish himself as the number 1. He might sign and Carson leaves, Walton comes in as backup. Either way I wouldn’t say it’s obvious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCFC1976 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 In fairness to Roos he hasn’t really been given a run of games like he is getting now because of Carson form and lack of injuries. I think Roos has probably done better than even the management team had thought he would and is genuinely competition for Carson. He’s definitely surprised me and fair play to him. As much as I like Carson maybe it’s time to look forward given the way we want to play as his distribution isn’t the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phuket Ram Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Roos has already done enough to earn a new deal - sign him up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoyMac5 Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Lots of keepers are decent shot-stoppers, not seen enough of Roos to tell if he's more than that or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitious Posted February 17, 2019 Share Posted February 17, 2019 Walton is certainly prone to howlers, albeit a capable keeper most of the time. I’m not entirely sure about him coming in as number 1, but a keeper with a bit of promise is okay with me. Roos certainly fits the bill, but I’d imagine that he will want a starting role and whether we take that chance on him, I don’t know? I can see him rejecting a new deal and moving to another Championship club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen a few 'mad dashes' out of his goal, a few crosses he's come for but mostly shot-stopping. Need to see more for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve seen the things you mentioned and I reckon his distribution is pretty good too. I have to be honest and say I didn’t think he was quite up to it but he’s not done great deal wrong in my opinion.

How many games has he played? To prove he's consistent, that he can command his box, etc. Okay you've seen enough. I haven't. I didn't rate him pre-this short spell and although he's done well, that isn't enough for me to give him no.1 spot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would suggest that I’ve seen him play better than I thought he would. Would you drop him for the game on Wednesday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. That sends the wrong message out to the squad, but FL does change as he decides it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't a "mad dash" from a goalie hint at it ending in a goal conceded, or a half-chance at the very least? I don't recall any of his "mad dashes" leading to such an outcome, although I'm open to be reminded, as I do have a lousy memory. Of course, there is the possibility that your definition of "a mad dash" differs from mine, and I doubt that would mean either of us to be "wrong", as it's a matter of opinion.
