Without the goalkeeper's distribution it's almost back to SlippyGBall. I'm not defending Olsen or saying he's not a catastrophe (I think he is). All I'm saying is that he's not our worst keeper ever, because that's just bollox of the highest order and reactionary poopery imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(oh god, it's a Scandy trifecta! ) Thinking back to our other number twos, I think the likes of Oakes, Taylor, Bunn, Steer and Postma were all better than Olsen, or what I've seen of him anyway. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lexicon Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Olsen's a career backup keeper that couldn't even hack the Greek league. We have to sign a much better replacement in the summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We look to sign a new back up Keeper who's hopefully in his 20s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 8 hours ago, TheMightyVillans said: Ryan would be a great backup and would fit into our style of play. He constantly moves club as soon as he is out of favour though. Can't see him wanting to be a number 2. Can't we just sign Dubravka? If Newcastle were happy to loan him out to Man. United start of the season then they're clearly open to offers and he fits the bill of someone who was a regular for 3-4 years in prem and would have no issue with him playing the early cup games. That's an easier sell now to any number two if we make europe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skarroki Posted April 25, 2023 Share Posted April 25, 2023 Sinisalo has been kept around the place and been on the bench for a number of games now. I have been wondering if the coaching staff have decided that Olsen is not worth having around the dressing room and are ready to move him on in the summer and let Sinisalo become the number 2. I've not been a big fan of Olsen but he's had a good career overall getting into the national side and playing for big clubs so he must be well-regarded and a good egg in the dressing room, or he's got a really good agent. Or maybe there's just some recruitment teams out there that believe he can do a job for them. Whatever it is, I'd get him gone this summer, along with Steer, and stick with Sinisalo.

May be he is good afterall, the diff here is Sweden is not exactly playing the modern way of passing around at the back. He can hoof a ball.

Saved a long range but palmed it by to the middle rather than the other side for a corner. Just conceded another a bit similar, kind of a good reaction save to begin with perhaps could have palmed sideways but straight back to the middle for Austria to poke home. Although prob had enough saves in the game to come away with some credits still. His defence left him for dead more than once, lindelof is shit still 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
