Clean sheet record

Davis doesn't deserve to break Shilts record. Shilts did it in the top division, Davis has done it in the third tier of English football.

 

probably with the likes of Golac, Wright, Mills, Dennis, Bond in front of him? Can't remember who the team was that year!

I don't know why they bothered with this, you can't do a like for like comparison...

 

- Davis will have more league games to play in this season than Shilton - thus more opportunities to keep clean sheets

- Shilton was playing in the 1st tier of English football, Davis in the 3rd tier against 3rd tier strikers

- Shilton was playing in the 1st tier of English football, Davis in the 3rd tier protected by 3rd tier defenders

 

changed it for alternative view!

 

agree, can't really compare but still decent performance

It does compare because it is in context with what league they were in and how good they were.

 

But not when Davis had a 46 game League and Shilton had only a 42 game League to get the 18 clean sheets. So not like for like as Davis will have 4 more possible opportunities.

According to the echo saints have kept 16 clean sheets in the league the record for the club is 18 currently jointly held by Peter shilton & 05/06 keepers with 8 to go can kd equal or beat it?

 

The answer is still "yes" :-)

Davies has been a very good keeper for us, not just this season, also comes across as a very decent guy.

 

Hope he gets the record as its easy to give the plaudits to goalscorers but he has been as much a key part of our promotion push. IMHO clearly better than any other in this league. Who many positions can we say that about?
