It's Your Round Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 16 minutes ago, bobzy said: I noticed that in the Derby game, the exact same mistake that happened between Elphick and Gollini against Huddersfield could've happened twice. On the first occasion, Elphick dealt with the ball, hooking it out of play. On the second occasion, Gollini got the ball but put it out of play. It was encouraging to see because; a] they're confident enough to keep doing what they've been told (supposedly) and b] they've learnt from that error and know not to take the same risk anymore. Overall, Gollini impresses me. He's a lot like De Gea was at Man Utd initially; comfortable stopping shots but looking to punch a bit too often. He'll settle in and become a valuable player IMO. I noticed this too, I was thinking here we go again. But was quite happy that they'd learnt from previous mistakes. Something nobody did last year.

I just don't feel he inspires much confidence and feel there is a 'Mare' waiting to happen. Time will tell I suppose. He didn't concede. He cleared the box both times. Most keepers punch the ball these days. Last season at Leicester Guzan flapped at a ball they scored and came from 2 down and we never recovered. Gollini throws his body in regardless. The one where you say he was lucky to get a free kick even if he never he'd cleared the ball so it wasn't an issue. He's young and will only get better he has made 2 slight errors so far and got the maximum punishment which he hasn't repeated after. He's learning. I glad he's our no1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He punched the ball and the striker charged in and cleaned him out. It was a late challenge, in no way is that fortunate. As for punching vs catching, it's mostly just a less of a risk. Claiming a ball is great for removing pressure, as you obviously have possession. But when you're surrounded by bodies, there's always the risk that you fall awkwardly or the ball bobbles in your hands due to contact and you can lose it. With punching, you aren't as likely to remove pressure because the ball will potential fall to an opposition player, but you're definitely reducing the risk.

How is that a handling error? He came for a ball, got both hands to it and punched it away. Moments later he was clattered by the CF and awarded the free kick. Irrespective of if you think it was a free kick or not he wasn't fortunate to be given it as he had already cleared the ball. Now there is an argument he could have caught it rather than punch it but that is down to coaching it certainly isn't a handling error. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Need to re-watch since I didn't have the best angle but it did look a soft goal that he should have done better from (first goal). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andym Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Sounds like he's been at fault for 4 of the 5 goals we have conceded this season. We can't afford to have him learning on the job this season, needs replacing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Will have to consider dropping him, weak for goals 1 and 3 today. Add to that the four points he has cost us with his kicking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brumstopdogs Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Really poor start - doesn't look like he is ready or good enough to be our first choice keeper. Let's hope he improves quickly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cliffy Biro Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Have to wonder how anyone saw a number 1 starting keeper for what i presume was supposed to be a promotion chasing season? Costing us every single game it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
