villalad21 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 (edited) Forget about saves, the big thing for me is that he is doing the basics right. He isn't flapping or falling over at crosses and set pieces. Goalkeeping is so much more than shot stopping.

punkiller1981 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 I’m pleased to see him given another years contract. Decent keeper at this level and I doubt he is on big money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Vive_La_Villa Posted March 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2019 It’s criminal that this guy was loaned out when our keepers were Nyland and Bunn. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 if anything else, allows us to recoup a fee if we move him on in the summer. But good for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 He hasn't had a lot to do... granted. However he hasn't had a lot to do due to the defence in front of him performing so well. One of the key reasons the defence are performing so well is due to their organisation and Steer is key to that. I watched him on Saturday and he was shouting at all of them, telling them where he wanted them to be to take the ball. Between him and Mings dictating the back 4 are rarely caught out of position now, something that was happening on a game to game basis prior. For me it's his shirt to lose now, and I can't see him being dropped this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eholm Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Agree that he hasn't really been 'tested' yet. However, a lot of shots appear to be straight at him, could this be due to hi good positioning? I think one of his current strengths is his quick distribution both with his feet and also his throws...keeps us on the front foot and stops the opposition being able to full retreat and regroup defensively. Too soon to tell if he will consistently outperform Kalinic who has only had a few games behind a much more porous defence. For the time being though the kid is doing s great job, Keep it up Jed.

Dave-R Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Seems like he's been given a new contract till end of next season which is fine so long as he can keep his form.. It says it all doesn't it that be brought a keeper for 7 million then our keeper who got sent out on loan, is recalled and is making it in before Kalanic and Nyland. Question is did we seriously waste 7 million, it's still a tough one to answer at the moment.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m glad Kalanic is here, with him and Jed we have 2 good keepers for where we are at. What i do think we wasted was the money we spent on Nyland and the wages we have given Bunn over the years.

We need a younger player now in his role and that 7 million could of got us someone very capable. Sometimes some things become outdated and while whelens is going through a phase of what looks to be a comeback, I expect it not to last. Personally I think he looks better because Grealish is back. Where were these performances in the weeks Grealish was injured, that's the player we need to replace summer. I thank Whelan for his service but to me he is a player we must replace..

briny_ear Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 If we're thinking about goalkeepers we wasted money on while all the time it turns out Steer can do the job - let's not forget Gollini. (Although I do agre with the qualifications about "has he been really tested yet?") Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m happy with Kalanic and all our signings this season, so far it lools like we have sensible people with half an idea of what they are doing in charge now, rather than the charlatans we’ve been unfortunate to have last few seasons.

If he turned out to be shit we would have been screwed. I think you’re doing this on purpose now! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not as under pressure as Nyland / Kalinic were during their tenure. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fully agree, he has done nothing to lose his place and think Smith is the type of manager that its your jersey to lose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
