Doctoroncall Posted 17 April, 2011 Share Posted 17 April, 2011 Colin this is League one when immaculate doesn't need to be reached. Besides he's still one of the best keepers in the division despite being prone to the odd (near post) mishap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he's had a good year but has not exactly been immaculate. I'm more surprised that Harding's in there, to be honest. Ultimately, Davis has been in goal for the whole season where we have the second-best defensive record in the division. Expect it was close between Davis and Ankergren in the voting.

Lighthouse Posted 17 April, 2011 Share Posted 17 April, 2011 Is it just me who thinks AOC is only included because of the hype? Don't get me wrong, I rate him and I'm sure he has a massive future, but based on what he's doing right here and now, this season, I'm sure there are better candidates. He has put in a few very average performances in the second half of the year. Davis... well if he really is the best in League 1, then there must be some shocking 'keepers out there. I don't want to slag him off, I'm just saying. He has had a fair few clangers this year. Glad to see Harding getting recognised, although I have to say I'm surprised as he was arguably better last year and missed out to Dickson. Fonte and Lallana were absolute shoe-ins in my book.

The9 Posted 17 April, 2011 Share Posted 17 April, 2011 I'm not sure who I'd have at left back as I can't think of any I've been impressed by (though on current form he's not even the best left back at Saints), but aside from Richard Lee of Brentford I can't remember any opposing League One keepers being much cop at St Mary's so at least that's explained away. And obviously we know BWP is gash, but he's scored plenty this season. More surprised the players who support Mackail-Smith's goals aren't in there, Boyd, Tomlin and McCann have all been decent for Peterborough too.

We have 21k+ crowds on a regular basis, a 32k stadium, have spent large sums of cash and players wanted by premiership clubs. Our awareness of such facts is arrogance. Who cares about Brighton anyway. They win the league in superb style and are still concerned with the semantics of other clubs, says more about them then their focus.

del boy Posted 18 April, 2011 Share Posted 18 April, 2011 They win the league in superb style At the risk of sounding like sour grapes the Brighton I saw at St Mary's weren't playing with superb style they were playing with niggly, shirt pulling, time wasting, petty fouling, typical South American "efficiency" - but tbf it won them the league. I know all that goes on all the time to some extent obviously, but they seemed to take the gamesmanship (2 minute goal kicks) to a new level!

Chez Posted 18 April, 2011 Share Posted 18 April, 2011 I'm amazed there are still Saints fans that don't appreciate Davis. Yes he makes the odd mistake, but compared to the other keepers at this level he is bloody brilliant. His kicking is so improved, his command of the area better, he comes for more crosses than ever before, he is a terrific sweeper and he makes some great saves. I haven't seen a keeper in League 1 that can touch him. In the window there was so much talk about Lewis and yet he has been embaressing over the last two months.

I'd like to know what the situation is with the goalkeeping coaching at the club.

IIRC someone (Patred?) believed that we didn't even have a specialist goalkeeping coach at the beginning of the season. I gave him 10 out of 10 for his display at Orient and I give 5 out of ten for an OK performance. He was outstanding, coming for pretty much everything and catching everything cleanly (one tremendous punch that sailed towards half way). When fans moan at him for not controlling his area I often grimace and think, yeah I guess you might have a point, but I don't think you can say that about him recently. Also does any other keeper even get remotely close to him when it comes to covering our back four. His decision making off his line has been amazing this year. I think he has got it wrong twice. Considering the number of times he is called into action due to Jaidi not having the pace, I think that figure is superb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
