At the same time if Kalinic continues to sit on the bench, i don't know what wages he's on, but regardless he's wages is wasted and should be spent elsewhere if Steer remain as our number 1.

Can't really see why we busted a gut to get kalinic in at quite a high fee - I can only think the club thought he was really too good to miss - early but Kalinic looks only adequate so far - with Steer looking the better keeper.

Steer just looks so much more comfortable in this lague than Kalinic and Nyland. And we can't really afford to give them half a season get used to the league. We have to give Steer another contract for me and make him our number 1, he deserved it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree - but don't see it happening. - further worries for me of the players brought in the jan window only mings looks decent - and he is probably beyond our reach for next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted March 11, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 11, 2019 I don't think he looks better than Kalinic at all. He did fine yesterday. but he wasn't really tested. There were several set pieces he could have come and claimed but stayed on his line. Didn't do anything wrong but I still fail to see why there is a section of the fanbase who think he should be our number 1. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would agree he makes a good backup to Kalinic and makes a better claim than the other keepers we have but for me not quite number 1 material just yet, that said he could potentially make it as our number 1 one day.

Pretty sure he will make the first team position his own next season after a pre-season, however Steer is doing a great job in the meantime. Hause has been brilliant at left back, he was also solid at centre back yesterday dominating in the air. Mings has been immense. Carroll looks like a good little player, unfortunately he can't stay fit. So far 3/4 signings have been great, with one yet to prove himself. There are no worries about our signings from me. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goes to show that when Smith said "Competition" he meant it. When he first mentioned competition for goalkeeping spots I thought it was bollox as usual. lol He is pretty fair with his selections with players. Their spots to lose. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are correct, I think Kalinic is the better goalkeeper, we’re not going to pay £7m for a goalkeeper and leave him on the bench. Steer is more than adequate back up as he showed yesterday, I don’t think he’s good enough to be our no.1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villalad21 Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 (edited) Nyland and Kalinic might be better shot stoppers, but you can't deny the fact that Steer has had a positive effect on the defence. Smith have already praised the way Steer communicate with the defence. Communication with your defenders is pretty important for a keeper, i don't see defenders doing any mistakes now compared to before and i think Steer is a reason for that. If a defender doesn't trust his keeper he is more likely to do errors. Just look at Elmo, when Nyland played he made errors every week, but when Steer has played Elmo has actually been alright.

Vive_La_Villa Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I think he should stay in goal because he has earned it. Can’t argue with 2 clean sheets. Yes he hasn’t had much to do in the 2 and a half games he has played but he has seemed quite assured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 Only criticism I have of him is that he doesn't come off his line often enough. SHA were pumping in balls non stop towards the end and he could have relieved a lot of the pressure off of the defence by claiming those high balls a couple of times. I fear if we didn't have such beasts in defence we would have almost certainly conceded, and we almost did...twice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr_Pangloss Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 No idea what he was doing for that goal, concerning, other than that he was solid enough. Kalinic is our best keeper as far as I'm concerned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
