Probably the 20 or so games he played last season before his form fell off. He looked miles better than Wilson.

The one constant in all keepers we have had in regressing is him

He can’t make a goalkeeper whose come from the premier league deteriorate. Coaches really have very little impact on actual ability - the player has it if he doesn’t

Yep exactly. I’d say a goalkeeper is probably the hardest position to “coach ability” out of if at all

If he’s in charge of our defensive training overall, that’s the bigger issue. We conceded a huge number of goals last season and we’re back into old habits.

To be fair does he get no credit for Dovins improvement last season?

I know it’s just one game this season that we’ve looked particularly shit for but we really do have a big issue of consistency. Every season we put in a few proper stinkers and they’re often in very basic games. How do we go from winning 7-1 to drawing 2-2 with a team like Oxford?
I can’t help but feel it’s not just the players causing it, there must be something about the way we set up or coach players that’s surely leading to this. It really can’t be denied that goalkeeping has been a massive weak point for us over several seasons, can’t forever go on pretending it’s all been rosy on the goalkeeper coaching front.

He’s been fine. The constant moaning about keepers (and blaming the GK coach for them not being magically good) is tedious at best but this is just odd. We’re four games in and unbeaten.

Don’t really get the criticism.
He can’t control poor in game decision making or made a players inherent ability worse.
Basic mistakes are on individual players.
Albeit those stupid 3/4 trousers he wears are tragic tbf.

It's not Williams making the mistakes on the pitch. That's a concentration issue. The other confounding point is that Dovin improved last season from the start.

Eight goals conceded all from set pieces where the defence have time to set up to defend them.
defending set pieces the organising of the defence comes down to the keeper and coaching staff.
you saw a classic example yesterday with Rushworth setting up his wall and he Knew exactly where their player was going to try and put the free kick for their second and whether the ball was moved or not Rushworth failed to organise the wall correctly and still let the goal in at the post exactly where he expected it to go

We don’t know that Dovin improved as a keeper. We know he started off very nervously and got better as his confidence grew. Whether he was better than when we bought him we can’t judge.
The goalkeeping position hasn't been competitive enough for number of years, I see average keepers at the club and when a new man between the sticks arrives he's looking around and thinking “not much to worry about here” his standards therefore drop. Would like to see an old pro in his mid 30s in goal showing the rest how it should be done Never mind a new coach.

That makes no sense at all. He (correctly) thought he'd covered off that route to goal, but the sneaky ball repositioning did for him.

Fuck me such a simplistic view of football. Wilson is in his mid 30's just stick him back in.

The fact that not one City player was watching the ball being moved or if they did were not prepared to scream at the ref....even march towards the ball pointing as most players I ever played with would have done is the most damning fact. I would actually in this day and age have thought there would be at least 1 player nominated at every wall to be doing just that !! Fine details but coaches should be doing this week in week out

Or take a collective step a foot to the left to counter what he did (keeper would need to know about it too!).

Have you seen the replay of the Stoke keeper making a mess of saves? Every keeper has flaws, that’s why they’re not top Prem players.

Aled Williams is a UEFA A coach and a UEFA A goalkeeping coach. Which I suspect is more qualified than practically everyone on this forum.
I doubt his critics know anything about coaching and have probably never seen him take a training session. I suspect their disrespect of him is because he wasn't a professional player. But he is a professional coach.
There are plenty of successful coaches and managers who didn't play at a very high level. Just as there are loads of highly skilled footballers who played at the highest level who turned out to be terrible coaches and managers.
Some of the evidence being put forward as to why he is a terrible coach is hilarious.

Likewise having a coaching qualification doesnt mean you're a good coach ?

Probably still better than a critic without any training or qualifications in coaching though.

Well then why does a fan have an opinion on absolutely anything at all ?
