Goalkeeper thread.

Goalkeeper thread.

I think Maxwell's qualities suit our overall gameplay more than Rudd and would pick him every time. Yes he has some deficiencies in his game but we just seem stronger at the back with Maxwell in goals.

Maxwell did well, but wasn't convincing in some of his saves. Guess he will keep his place.

There was one save which looked like a fumble on the game but looking back it was actually a decent save. The one at the end was very good as it was coming through a crowd of bodies and so must have seen it quite late.

Which will come when Maxwell does something mad (again)

Defensively we are much better with Maxwell in net than Rudd. Maxwell out of the two keepers is probably the one who will make the most errors because he comes out an awful lot but we are more likely to concede more goals in net with Rudd because he stays rooted to his line too often.

15 corners and a few free kicks and wasn't troubled by one last night. Compare that to the three/four goals we have conceded from set pieces already this season with Rudd in net.

no doubt

but memories fade

it wasnt a heartbeat ago people were calling for Rudd to be the 1st choice, i guess if i had the inclination, endergy or knowhow there would be a thread to dig up

people like styles of play - i prefer Rudd, i feel he is more level headed but thats just my opinion

Anyone on the game tonight can see why Maxwell MUST start in goal. His starting position is 5 yards ahead of rudd, defence know he's there to sweep up, always talking to back line. Comes out for crosses and tonight made saves when needed. Yes he does have errors in his game but to see him come out and claim crosses was like scoring a goal for me. More pros than cons. What we can't do is chop and change goalie for any and every error they make. Tonight the defence looked far more assured with Maxwell as keeper.

You're spot on with that analysis Schofe.

Yes, the same people that prefer Rudd... The ones that prefer Maxwell and believe we are a stronger defensive unit when he's playing most certainly did not...

How can we bin them both off when there’s no trading until January....apparently Rudd has turned Vegan recently, he looked today like he needed a feckin big steak.
Maxwell has to start the next game.

It's obviously the Veganism that's causing it.
 
Whether he made mistakes today or not, he still conceded 2 goals, and for whatever reason we always seem to concede when Rudd is in goal.

Maxwell gives the defenders more confidence. He didn’t do himself any favours last season when he fell out with Cudworth.
We need a keeper coach who’s done the job at a decent level and has got the t shirt.

Well, last week, when I originally posted, we could have done.

Still, there is the Free Agent market.
