Posted March 27, 201213 yr There was a rating for young goalies for your National team in Finnish football magazine today. 1. Ben Amos 2. Jack Butland 3. Declan Rudd 4. Frank Fielding 5. Scott Loach. Opinions ?
March 27, 201213 yr Frankie and Scott Loach are both better then the other three. Ben Amos got top because he plays for Manure, Butland has only played a handful of games at League Two level and Declan Rudd has played very little football as well, and has been fairly unremarkable when he has. I find that a slightly bizarre list.
March 27, 201213 yr Author List was done by Jeff Wood who is goalkeeper coach for Norwich. He played in Finland 1982.
March 28, 201213 yr Joe Hart is only a year older than Frank Fielding, 23 must be the cut off point or this bloke is talking twoddle.
March 28, 201213 yr Author What is the age criteria for this piece? Actually the piece was about how wonderful Joe Hart is and will be. Wood chose future back up goalies for Hart and oldest were 23 at this time.
March 28, 201213 yr Alex Smithes at Huddersfield is decent, just came back from a year long injury. If he becomes half as good as he does in Footy Manager - he'll be a cracking goalie.
March 28, 201213 yr Author If he becomes half as good as he does in Footy Manager - he'll be a cracking goalie. In that case we should sign him. 'http://www.dcfcfans.co.uk/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':D' />
March 28, 201213 yr Actually the piece was about how wonderful Joe Hart is and will be. Wood chose future back up goalies for Hart and oldest were 23 at this time. Was going to say Joe Hart is only one year older than Frankie!
March 28, 201213 yr They probably just took Hart out because he's the clear number 1. Can't see how they can put Ben Amos there, when he's only played at league 1 level. Fielding and Loach have played at championship level and played consistently well.
