I remember a period when there seemed to be a concerted effort from the coaching staff to get Scott to come off his line. Pre match, rather than the normal shot stopping, they would be puttimg crosses in. My abiding memory of him came in a game against Portsmouth at Villa Park. Portsmouth were shooting towards the Holte end and i was sat in K5, right in the center. Their keeper punted a long ball up field, it was flicked on and Sully Muntari was running on to it. Scott Carson went full pelt out to meet it, got about 18 yards out and just froze. Muntari casually lobed it over him, game over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same game he came out and smashed it against Reo-Coker and the ball ended up in the net I think? That was an awful game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodders Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 bit off topic, but my brother always used to say, "let me tell you a question" WHAT IN SATAN'S NUTSACK IS THAT? Anyway, finishing these last few games is important to keep morale up going into the off season, a continuing loss streak will just create a needless overhang of misery. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Tell' just means to communicate. To relay information. So it's valid to tell someone a question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 It makes no sense to my ears! I've never heard of that phrasing elsewhere. You ask questions, not tell them 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A pedant writes: it is possible to collocate 'tell' with 'a question', as in 'let me tell you a question John asked me last week, you won't believe how dumb it was!' However, it's a very weak collocation and it doesn't have the same meaning as 'ask a question' for the very obvious reason that 'tell' and 'ask' are not synonyms. ****************************** On Sam Johnstone, I hope we don't sign him and Allan MacGregor seems a much better bet to me. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blunther Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Two more really dodgy bits of handling today. The low cross he fumbled for a corner (which I thought had gone in for half a second from the Holte), and that punch back into the centre of the pitch from a long throw. I don't mind punching but he can't punch. Worries me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackbauer24 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 The punch was shockingly bad and nearly put us in a lot of trouble. But the biggest problem is he just doesn't command his area at all, you can feel tye lack of confidence the defence has in him. If we buy him in the summer then I'm all for developing him ourselves and seeing if he can step up a little. But if he's only available on loan then get rid and go for some experience on loan or buy our own youngster. Loans should reap instant reward or there is no benefit to us at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr_Pangloss Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 He made some decent saves but some very poor moments, this guy just does not convince even as a Championship standard keeper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avfc96 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 He takes way too long to distribute the ball, quite a few times today someone was offering him an out ball and a chance to break quickly and he didn't take it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Tried his best to chuck away the 3 points. Really annoys me when he picks up the ball, runs out as if he is going to quickly distribute it, then stops and blame everyone else. Hope to God he isn't here next year.
