villa-revolution Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 I thought Jed played really well & actually kept us in the game for 45 minutes. The only goal that he was really at fault for was the 3rd one when he was beaten on his front post. He may have been beaten on his front post too for their second goal but that was mainly due to the deficiencies of zonal marking whereby a static Matty Lowton allowed Chadli across him at the front post. Did anyone else also notice how good he is at kicking the ball to Jed is still only young & for me shows a lot of promise. Definitely came out of this game with credit.

AndyBM Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 hes still young, although i do agree with the given comment, surel it would put him more in the shop window as well as add experience to our young and raw cup games line up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did anyone else also notice how good he is at kicking the ball to Jed is still only young & for me shows a lot of promise. Definitely came out of this game with credit. Agree with this completely. I actually thought Jed was one of our better players (maybe due to how overworked he was. How he can be blamed for the second spurs goal is beyond me. Just because a goal goes in at the near post doesn't automatically make it a keeper mistake. The corner was abysmal and should have been dealt with easily and paulinho was about 6 yards from goal. Third goal was a poor attempt at a save but considering the number of saves made in the game I'm fairly confident that Jed can step up when needed. Alternatively we could just write off a young keeper who's shown some promise as many wanted to do with our current number 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brommy Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Still don't see why we couldn't of just made Siegrist our No. 2... I don't know why either. If only we spent our work days with each keeper, then we would be better informed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappy Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Is Jed Steer better than Shay Given? Not right now. Is he worth giving game time in regards to career development? Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntrimBlack Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Is Jed Steer better than Shay Given? Not right now. Is he worth giving game time in regards to career development? Yes. Know what you mean, but Given is an excellent nr.2, also on a big salary and possibly with us for a few more years. Would it have been better for Steer to continue his development on loan at a lower league club? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 I can only assume that Steer was signed on the promise that he would get game time as Guzan's number2? On the assumption that Given would be offloaded during the transfer window and Lambert wants to stick to that promise. I imagine that Steer wouldn't have come here to be a number3 keeper.

AvfcTheObsession Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Been unimpressed with Steer both times I've seen him (Walsall in pre-season and Spurs in league cup). Dallies on the ball too long, nearly cost us a goal in both games doing this, one of our defenders massively got him out of jail at Walsall. Also don't think he commands his area nearly as well as Big Brad. He seems a reasonable shot stopper but that doesn't make a good keeper on its own.

Electric Avenue Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 As keepers go he looks a bit small to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Would be interesting to see what happens if god forbid Guzan is the latest of our important first 11 players to pick up an injury and miss premier league games. Think we'd struggle with Steer in there so I'd play Given even though I'm no fan of his. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Still don't see why we couldn't of just made Siegrist our No. 2... Because he isn't ready yet. Neither is Steer.

Kwan Posted September 26, 2013 Share Posted September 26, 2013 Shouldn't have been for both best part goals but he's very young. He will be a good one I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) The problem is though if anything happens to Guzan would you be confident of Steer coming into replace him. I would not and think Given would be the sensible replacement Edited September 28, 2013 by PaulC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Steer will not play for the first team til the FA cup 3rd round in January, unless Brad gets injured/sent off. How good is it for players development when they will only probably play 5-10 games max a season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
