DazBob Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 2 hours ago, Whitesince63 said: I fully accept he wasn’t good enough but when he first came in the defence in front of him wasn’t the best and after we signed Trafford he got virtually no football from week to week as he wasn’t even playing regularly for the B Team. Just throwing him in occasionally just wasn’t fair to me and it was no wonder that the lad always looked nervous and lacking confidence. I do think he’s a better keeper than he’s showed here and I just hope that out of the spotlight and playing regularly at Hartlepool he can get his confidence back and show that. 2nd choice goalkeepers very rarely get any game time. Calling him up for the occasional game isn't treating him shabbily, it's giving him chance to prove he's up to the job, but he failed pretty much every time.

We only lost 1 game when he was in goal last season, and that was against Aston Villa. Don't get me wrong, I'm not sorry to see him leave. Just think his "failure" has been massively over-egged.

Dr. Feelgood Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 Tying ourselves in knots here about an exceptionally ordinary at best low division/non league goalkeeper. So, bye ... & thanks for all the fish and all that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's conceding and there's just being not good enough and error prone, like De Gea but more common. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he did one thing in the cup final that Dixon couldn't have done equally. Then again neither did City's keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ani Posted June 5, 2023 Share Posted June 5, 2023 As much as anything else a keeper needs to instil confidence in the defence and at Pro level the crowd. Dixon did neither at Bolton. I was at Hartlepool when he made probably his biggest fuck up. The abuse he got that night when trying to apologise was disgraceful, he was a long way off our worst player that night. The fact he came straight after Crellin I think people were already nervous and the fact Trafford was so good magnified his shortcomings. The level he has dropped to probably reflects how badly his time here went. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
