Loughborough Ram Posted August 20 Share Posted August 20 I'd play zetterstrom personally. Working on the principle that Vickers stays in because he played well, the logical conclusion is that he gets dropped when he plays badly. Why wait for that? My view is that Vickers is a grown up, he realises he is going to be number 2, so let him finish (for now) on a high of playing well.

Personally I would pick Zetterstrom (providing he has trained well and is understanding of how our back 4 play) and Yates because that is what I believe is our strongest team, even though I do think it would be very harsh on Vickers.

For what it’s worth I thought Collo was one of the weaker players on Saturday and would be looking at changing him at the first opportunity. europia 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being the case, in the highly unlikely event of us keeping a clean sheet at Watford, Vickers would be on course for 2nd consecutive MOTM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSD Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Goalkeeper plays his best game for us and now folk want to drop him. Doesn't work well for team morale unfortunately. It's Vickers to lose in my opinion. However, I think deep down Warne doesn't have full confidence in Vickers' ability as a full time number one goalkeeper. Wildsmith wasn't his signing, Wildsmith seemingly fell out with Warne somewhere down the road but Warne kept playing him regardless. I know Vickers was injured at times and of course had his very sad personal situation. There has been a couple of times where I thought Warne could easily drop Wildsmith but he didn't pull the trigger One mistake from Vickers and Zetterstrom will be straight in.

If Warne is convinced JWZ is the better keeper then play him. Vickers is ok at this level in general, and was very good against 'Boro, but we all know that the Boro performance was the exception, not the rule.

A Ram for All Seasons Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Jim Smith tried rotating Poom and Hoult for a short while, but it soon became clear who was the better keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SamUltraRam Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 I'm probably ok with starting Vickers on Saturday & giving JWZ his debut at Barrow. However, I remember when we signed Steve Sutton in 1991/92. Arthur Cox decided to give Martin Taylor a further game as starter away at Tranmere in March. Taylor didn't perform well & we blew a 3-1 lead to lose 4-3 - that 3 extra points would have got us automatic promotion - we ended up losing to Blackburn in the playoffs SKRam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bucktwo Posted August 21 Share Posted August 21 Does the same rule apply if new keeper has a bad game , does he get replaced by Vickers ? How many settling in games where he isnt very good is he allowed before Vickers gets back in ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Outfield players are obviously different but there is nothing that a keeper could conceivably face or experience in L2 that they couldn't in the PL.
