Just out of interest with the 3 players in front of Allsop which must have restricted his view and being in the middle of the goal and the 3 players did not or could not block the shot or intercept it because they must have been out of position at the start of it what else could it have been ( i'm using your thinking on that issue), don't you think Allsop did well to at least get down to it even though he would not have been in the position you would have been?.
I've not mentioned a single thing about specifics today as I didn't see it so won't. But for a goalkeeper his position is piss poor overall. Absolutely nobody can pull him on his distribution, but his positioning is shocking
It's so bad we don't get thumped or is that just the defence or that we just keep the possession all the time. And every goalkeeper in this league must be bad as they let quite a few goals in to.
Not sure why you're getting so defensive, it's just a simple one...with his feet he's very good, but his positioning is very poor. The same as Ingrams feet are not as good but his shot stopping is very good
Allsop’s positioning and reactions are the weakest parts of his game. It isn’t just today. It’s been a common trend all season. Several times this season I’ve noticed when he’s conceded a goal and thought ‘that was such a weird attempt at a dive for a keeper’.
Well he is doing something right because we are getting results and he is a big part of it and he has made good saves as well.
I like the way he was calling for the ball and when he got it did a good cross Jacob brilliantly converted. Hopefully Greaves will gain alot of confidence from that and get up to try score more often like some defenders in the game do, expect that has added a few £'s to his value.
Can’t really get on board with the criticism of Alsopp, sure he makes the odd handling mistake but so do all keepers, other than at the end he’s looked pretty solid and was having a good game today overall. The odd mistake shouldn’t overshadow how much he is instrumental in starting the majority of our attacks to good effect and being integral to how we play out from the back. I could be wrong but I generally feel he’s won us more points than he’s lost us.
just wondering who the last defender to get two or more goals in a game was. i remember the full-back version of steve harper (not the later goalkeeper version) getting a hat-trick once in a 4-0 win. wondering if richard jobson had a two. i remember him scoring for several consecutive games.
Yes his distribution is spot on, but that doesn't mean the weaker parts of his game are immune from being talked about. He's getting better as all keepers do with a good run in the team and long may that improvement continue
If Ivor is even half decent with his feet I'd be tempted to throw him in sooner rather than later. Can't carry on conceding sloppy goals
Thats correct pal....thanks for your input,i have taken everything on board what you've said,and you are far more intelligent than me,so therefore you are correct
I opened a bet365 account a few weeks ago so I could put £10 on City to win promotion at 25/1. Anyway, I got an opening offer to get a free bet up to £30 if I placed any first settled bet up to that amount. So I placed a £30 bet on Swansea match which I lost, but for my free bet in return I put the full £30 on Greaves to score first today at 33/1! A fantastic away trip for me and my lad, topped off with £990 winnings! Cheers Greavsie what a performance!
