Rample Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I think we need a new keeper. It would be my main concern, and the foundation of what we are building. Carson would still be my no.1 as things stand. Roos doesn't inspire confidence, I don't think he will finish the season as first choice. For all the times he gets in the way of the ball, I just see it bouncing to the opposition, or worse. If we were a QPR it wouldn't matter, but for the level we are at these errors can have a huge impact on the season. I'd take either a shot stopper or a big tall presence (which he should be at his height) over someone who has reasonable distribution any day Mitchell doesn't look like he'll advance past benchwarmer.

Can we play 3 at the back and field two keepers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BondJovi Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 I would rather have Roos than the Leeds keeper and that is the guy Bielsa wanted... Any keeper who is great with his feet and a commanding presence in the air won't be in this league. Maybe actually having a defender who dominates in the air might help.

Nuwtfly Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Happy to die on this hill but I would just stick with Roos. Showed enough last season to merit his place, bar that final game at Wembley. Best player against Rangers, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rammed79 Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 A new keeper for me I'd happily sell Carson and Roos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bald Eagle's Barmy Army Posted August 5, 2019 Share Posted August 5, 2019 Roos isn’t a keeper, he should have stuck to modelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier ram Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 was at the game last night , Roos made a good save from Schindler , but made me nervous everytime he received ball to feet , seemed to take too long to pass it out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean (hick) Saunders Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 New one. Not used to having to worry about goalie doing the basic things wrong for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IslandExile Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I've defended Roos because I think people have turned against him following the playoff gaff (as they did Keogh) but, whether his confidence has drained as a result, I certainly thought he was shaky tonight. By accident or design, everything bounced off him. Well, when he made contact with the ball anyhow. There was more than once where he just flapped at the air.

Ambitious Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Roos is decent enough. I never thought he would make a Championship grade keeper and he has. We wouldn't have made the play-offs without him last season, the performance away at Bristol was arguably the best we saw from anyone last season. I think we should let him have the season, see where we stand then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S8TY Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 New Keeper is required ....Roos does not look confident and the defence will look more stable with a much better GK behind them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuanFloEvraTheCocu'sNesta Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 He seems like he can do everything except catch properly. I'm not sure if it's a technical flaw or if his decision making is just a bit poor, but there are times he should be catching the ball and he punches it. It keeps the pressure on as the oppo can recycle the ball. Given needs to be drilling him on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He doesn't want that pretty face damaged and so he flaps his long arms out in front of him as a protective measure. He is also a poor judge of crosses. When Clarke saved us last night with that clearance over the bar, Roos was stranded in the middle of nowhere. I've played with too many 'flappy' keepers and as a defender you never know where you stand. One to address in January. In the meantime I guess we just have to support the guy.

Tyler Durden Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Should have been replaced in the summer but we persisted in faffing around with this as per our other dealings and managed just to scrape Hamer through the door at the 11th hour Do we have a goalkeeping coach serious question one which I admit I should know as the persistence on punching when it's easier to catch the ball is a behavioural thing.

Rambalin Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 What you have with Roos and most modern day keepers is they do not have the presence of the the keepers from years ago.to command their area.Back then keepers were taught to come and catch the ball and take out what ever was in their way, modern day thinking is punching is better there by removing the possibility of dropping the ball.

Bald Eagle's Barmy Army Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 If we have Roos in goal all season, we'll finish bottom half without a doubt. He shouldnt even be in the U23s let alone our first team. He doesn't even look confiedent kicking a ball let alone catch an easy cross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
