  3. Disagree I was in line with the cross and yes it was excellent but that was the keepers as no defender would have been able to get goalside.
  4. Gave all youngsters a lesson in toughening up. Remember we used to train in the Dell car park. He would flatten you to see how you reacted after picking yourself off the concrete. One of the hardest in the game regharded by his fellow pros. |Remember scoring a screamer against Swindon. Tough nut by off the field, charming.

  10. By the way "Turkish" go read Yeats poem .Traed softly. Here is an extract..."I would spread the cloths under your feet: But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams"
  11. Not embarrased.Just bored over watching a one dimensional team pass sideways. Football is afterall entertainment and despite having a season ticket I am finding it hard to get enthuisiastic watching this risk free unemotional display of overpaid divas underperform each week. I am not alone
  12. For what it is worth from an ex Goalie on Forster. Let me give you an anlysis of his attributes as follows: 1. Reading of the game Good goalies are constantly analysing the play and tring to anticipate. This allows them to be in position quicker to deal with any situation.This is particular true in determining when to come off your line for both crosses or to intercept a through ball. Forster is very weak at this. Last night was a good example in the first half where he hesitated and only lousy finishing avoided an emabarrsing gooal. 2. Bravery We all know that good goalies are a little nuts. It takes courage to dive in or come for crosses where you are likely to get hit. I remember Shilton diving in head first to prevent a shot with his fist as the player was about to shoot on the ground. You never see that now.Forster never even goes in with his feet !! Shot Stopping The most glamorous and athletic part of goalkeeping. To be athletic in this regard requires agile feet and hands to stop longer range shots on both the ground and air. His height is a disadvantage on ground shots but he is not that athletic in the air either. He has no spring. No obvious agility Reflexes, His reactions are good that require a reflex response but not where anticipation is required Communication A good goalie has to command the box and inspire defenders so that they feel confident in him. I do not get that impression he is inspirational. More a gentle giant in fact. Distribution A modern goalie can break up play and initiate attacks. In this respect I think Forster has improved. Conclusions I believe that Forster has regressed and is either not receiving adequate coaching to improve his skills and therefore his confidence or he has plateaued. In any event at the moment I do not think he is average Premier League and we could do better both in coiaching and in players at this level.
