Yeah in terms of using keepers to retain the ball I agree. Not sure I ever see the keeper for any team in that position though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being available to receive a pass is one thing, but simply reading the game and as Evatt always says "finding their own solutions" is another. They are professionals and well up the football hierarchy, with a brain of their own. It was a collective cock up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No dislike or blame on Coleman who has come in and done a job and may be needed again. That said we concede less with Baxter in net. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ani Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Rico was to blame for the goal in the home game. The other factor on the Coleman/Baxter debate is the confidence the defence have in the keeper , Coleman's regular darts off the line when he was first in the team affected the defence, so as he has settled down the defences confidence has also increased. The fact people are asking if Baxter should come straight back in shows how Shaggy has improved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Faustus Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Keepers are taught to play and position themselves as an extra defender. They’ll have sessions purely on passing/distribution where they won’t even don their gloves. They have briefs of where to be in and out of possession, with directives on controlling the pace of the game. If you see a keeper making a flying acrobatic save, there is a good chance his position was off, but he was set- not a bad thing, but the best keepers make it look easy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arrested development Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 These have nowt to play for. Score first and I think we've got this. Can't be passive though like at Stevenage. Be positive early and take the game away from them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wanderlust Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Depends on how Taylor sets them up. We were "passive" at Stevenage because Evans set them up to defend in banks and try to hit us on the break so Santos had to stand on it to try to draw them out and ended up hoofing it a lot whereas Reading tried to play and we carved them up. Some Gas fans reckon Taylor will go for it and there's no question they want to beat us so (obviously) we need to bring our best game.

W.cramp Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 On the keeper debate, pre season the no1 was up for grabs, we as fans didn't know who it was gonna be. Baxter grabbed and ran with it, top keeper and undoubtedly no1. Coleman came in and as games have gone on he has got better, he is a great 'shot stopper' but as we all know his judgement and timing coming out is so so poor, feel for the lad as am sure he knows he has only been a stand in. Baxter plays. (Amazed if he doesnt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
