Its more than just heads dropping, its not being able to play your own game because you're worrying about what is happening behind you.I can understand why players heads drop in games when the same old same old keeps happening game after game from certain areas of the pitch and this isn't just the keeper I'm referring to.
Its more than just heads dropping, its not being able to play your own game because you're worrying about what is happening behind you.
Was listening to a podcast (ice hockey but same applies) where a very experienced head coach was discussing a team who has a top rated defence that isn't performing this season. He said the number one issue was the goalie behind them was having a poor season and therefore they didn't have the confidence to play their usual game. They were playing with the worry that if they made a mistake the netminder wouldn't bail them out.
However bad you think our defenders are it can't help your game knowing there's a good chance that every single time you make a mistake it will be a goal.
Yeah but I don't remember any massive clangers from Dovin. He just looked like a keeper finding his feet.That seems a reasonable assesment though we were shipping goals when Dovin was playing as well.
He can't be injured otherwise surely someone would have said something. He's also not looked that bad when he's played that you'd even consider keeping Collins in ahead of him.There must be something up with Dovin otherwise Collins would have been dropped weeks ago.
They questions were idiotic. You have played over 50 games with Rooney right?He obviously meant he wasn’t prepared to say and seemed pretty pissed off with the question.
Well, strange you should say that, the old man used to say that Oggy couldn’t cope with low crosses very well. I definitely remember him diving over a couple.he has dived over so many or let them through his hands, I am convinced Oggy would do a better job
It ruined many decent defenders too didn't it.Well, strange you should say that, the old man used to say that Oggy couldn’t cope with low crosses very well. I definitely remember him diving over a couple.
Although that was a couple in about 600 games or whatever it was.
Oggy was great. Until the back pass rule was introduced.

It's going to be a long highlights show!It would seem that Lampard is sticking with our beleaguered keeper , which also poses the question, on seeing reactions on Saturday, that our creaky defence isn’t that happy with this keepers efforts ?
A Boxing Day goal fest approaches
I very much doubt Collins will start. That would be a very worrying decision.
I just hope Dovin can show a bit more and give some confidence to the defence.
They reckon Wilson will be in goal tomorrow, hope not.A fucking baked potato with twiglets for arms woukd give them more confidencecthan Collins

I would have thought Dovin should be starting ,otherwise why pay £1.5 million plus for him ?it’s all very bizarre isn’t it, if Dovin couldn’t play he wouldn’t be on the bench available as a sub. Frank is already on the record multiple times saying he’s still getting to know players and that matches are effectively training sessions at the moment. Those two added for me says that Dovin must start next game…surely.

At least robins would have run on and saved the shots then over head kicked them from our goal line into their goal.
The bloke asked a stupid question and lampard wasn't drawn into it.
Some of our fans (and the shit local media) have lost their heads.
Its not even making a mistake. Its every time the other team get a shot on target. Never seen a keeper dive over or under a ball let alone throw it in the back of the net.Its more than just heads dropping, its not being able to play your own game because you're worrying about what is happening behind you.

In what universe is it a stupid question? It’s literally all anyone has been talking about on here since Saturday.At least robins would have run on and saved the shots then over head kicked them from our goal line into their goal.

What?
Any journalist worth their salt should ask about the keeping situation, its a hot topic of discussion among the support
But Lampard was right to give it short shrift.
I think Lampard has just taken a careful approach and minimised changes since he took over while assessing what he's got. Collins was the keeper when Lampard arrived.Don't think he gave anything away but I think Collins will be in goal.
There must be something up with Dovin otherwise Collins would have been dropped weeks ago.
Big difference though with Collins in goal it’s 1.8 goals a game Dovin it’s 1.2 over a season that’s 83 goals against 55.That seems a reasonable assesment though we were shipping goals when Dovin was playing as well.
