While everyone his having a go at our inexperienced but potentially very good young keeper who makes top quality saves but is prone to the odd muck up I'd thought I'd poit out the blledin' obvious about goal keeping.

1. A keeper never lets in goals.
2. If a keeper makes a mistake it is always jumped on because it usually is costly.
3. How can young keepers get experience if they don't play. They don't turn 30 and then become brilliant.
4. It is a clear and well known tactic of Pools to kick towards the touchline from goal kicks whether it was to Paul Smith in the past or Monkhouse now. Therefore the margin of error is very small. Now we've got Lange ALB maybe allowed to kick down the center somemore. Admittedly kick it over the CK Stand does help!
5. Shouting obsenities at our own keeper or any other player when they can clearly hear it is just pointless. CT is not going to haul ALB for missing a cross.

And my last point specifically on Tuesday night and throughout this season. The final ball has been shocking. How may times on Tuesday night did Liddel, Foley, Sweeney etc not beat the first man in open play or on dead balls. So many chances gone begging.

First post? Fook right off!

Your point being?

It;s a bunker tradition mate. First-time posters get told to welcome to the board! Welcome to the board.

Well if that's the case I feel very welcome

as far as i'm concerned his kicking is at the bottom of his priorities to improve on, occasionally his positioning is a little suspect and his communication with the defence is an issue also. He needs to learn to trust himself more and take command of situations, that being said though, comes with experience. He has to learn by his mistakes though, which he doesn't appear to be doing at this point in time.

All of this 'worst keeper in Pools' history' thing is complete rubbish too.
