Ah yes, I forgot Roos got a hat trick in his last game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superzak Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Roos needs to go out on loan in January. Maybe there is a decent goalkeeper in there...but his poor handling will be jumped on by an unforgiving crowd the minute he makes a mistake.

I recently listened to a 'Goalkeepers Union' podcast where Roos is interviewed. Interestingly when asked about his play-off final mistake it sounds like he hasn't really dealt with it. His argument is that he'd done his best in training, he's not apologising about it and these things happen 'It wasn't to be that day, that's painful, and for me there's no more baggage than that'. I do wonder if he consciously is trying to blank it out it's not quite working. His biggest mistake came from trying to catch the ball, so now he tries to punch it all the time even when catching seems the better option.

Sexydadbod Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 19 hours ago, RoyMac5 said: He's a very average keeper. The defence look calmer with Hamer in goal, who looks fairly solid. Roos isn’t even that good with his feet either. He’s ever so slightly better than Carson in that department but he’s still not good as good as people make him out to be with his feet. And at least fans aren’t having heart attacks anymore when someone puts a cross around our defence or keeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkFruitsRam7 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I’m actually surprised by Hamer. I thought he would be really poo, but he’s been okay so far. Not a long term solution I don’t think, but he’s far from the main problem at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Hamer is doing ok but is not that much better than Roos. i'd be tempted to give roos another go. We have to develop our own players and the pathway may not always be smooth (eg lowe) but give them a bit of time and a proper go at it before making a decision on them.

AndyinLiverpool Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 We could do with somebody who is, say, currently 3rd choice at their current club and has bagfuls of experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hammer is a safer option right now, Roos feels like damaged goods; short term higher priorities but end of season there has to be better options out there.

Pearl Ram Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I noticed Westwood was on the bench for Wednesday at Bristol yesterday, I wouldn’t say no to him to be honest, never seen him have a bad game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cannable Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Can’t believe David Raya was never on our radar. Unbelievable against us when we had Southport in the cup a few years ago and since then it turns out he’s good with his feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost of Clough Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 39 goalkeepers have played in the Championship this season. Hamer ranks 34th for saves per 90 (10 in 5), whereas Roos is 14th (49 in 18 games). Also... Hamer - 7 conceded from 17 shots on target = 41% of shots on target go in. Roos - 25 conceded from 73 shots on target = 34% of shots on target go in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His confidence being low might be down to the fact he cannot do what is being asked of him by the coaches - ie be confident in the air, command his box, etc. He's an average keeper.

He is excellent shot stopper, I'd say best in the league, but definitely not good with the ball on his feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
