Ram1988 Posted July 17 Share Posted July 17 I always thought Matty Ryan would be a long shot but I am concerned we have gone on a preseason tour with no goal keeper. Most likey a case of Iverson vs Rodak now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No goalkeeper is a *touch* dramatic. We wouldn't have got automatics if Vickers hadn't been injured. Desperately needed Wildsmith back in the team, but Warne wasn't going to make the call. Disappointed we haven't brought our new number one in yet. Sadly IMHO Vickers never looked up to it. Was hoping Trott, then Ryan. Either Iversen or Rodak would be fine, but the longer we wait the more desperate we'll become and the higher the price. Will Hughes Hair 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit harsh on Vickers I thought he did ok, didn’t get the same rush of blood like Wildsmith 🙈 we still need a No.1 mind.

Kinder Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 As we’re only 3 weeks from the start of the season, I can see Vickers starting as the number 1 regardless of who we bring in. He’ll have an understanding with the back 4 from training last season which he’ll be building on during this pre-season. It’s then his shirt to keep if he plays well enough.

Apart from Bolton at home when he pulled off that outstanding save, I can't recall Wildsmith being called upon to do anything dramatic. Vickers had 4 wins, a draw and a defeat in his 6 games in goal, two clean sheets and only 5 goals conceded, a marginally better ratio than Wildsmith with no stupid penalties conceded. A match-saving performance at Lincoln. I'm not sure quite what people have against Vickers, because to me his performances were steady enough. He may not be championship standard, but I don't think he'd be a disaster either.

I feel the same I felt safer with Vickers in goal who was steady, rather than Wildsmith who was liable for the odd crazy decision or moment but would then pull off the odd world class save.

I also think it's harsh for people to assume that we saw the best version of Vickers, given everything he had to deal with during last season.

I was fine with Wildsmith being no.1, but I didn't see Vickers as a poor second choice and I don't think he let us down.

May Contain Nuts Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 Wildsmith's handling was excellent, you could pretty much always rely on him to either hold onto a shot, or at worst stop it dead and grab it quickly at the second attempt. Any he couldn't hold were turned around the post out of play, or at least pushed out of danger. Whilst Vickers didn't let anyone down, the times I saw him play he had that worrying knack of diverting the ball back into danger. Something that once noticed can't be unseen.

I never felt totally confident about Vickers coming to claim crosses or commanding his area either. Wildsmith made a couple of horrendous errors for us, but he was very strong in that department.

MACKWORTHRAM Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 To say we wouldn't have got promoted with Vickers in goal is bonkers. Wildsmith made one unbelievable save against Bolton and that was it. Everything else head to do was routine. Vickers did not let us down at all and I did not feel once in trouble cos Vickers was in goal. Wildsmith had a rush of blood as we know, there were goals (obviously I cannot remember all of them) but off the top of my head Blackpool away and Peteborough at home where he should have saved them. The command of his area talk im not sure of either. I remember this a few times (Pompey away he definately was in no mans land where Pompey nearly scored from a set play) but this one always sticks in my head. Leyton Orient away. Ball circled in blue and the player who somehow didn't score this circled in yellow. I remember this ball coming in and saying what on earth is Wildsmith doing here haha. Can laugh about it cos we won 3-0. But this always sticks in my head this one does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islandram Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 the original post was about a goalie that's signed elsewhere perhaps closing this thread will stop people arguing over pointless posts. Macintosh 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
