Goalkeeper thread.

I posted some stats before and have dragged them out. Clearly they are a little different now but can't be bothered to update those for Rudd in the main. (Rudd I feel has improved his distribution with more short passing, he is more commanding I think, but the save rate has dropped)

Clean sheets are an indication of the defensive quality of the team and we all agree in general the keeper cannot take all of the accolades. But equally they are not to blame in isolation every time a goal is conceded.

A keeper who -
Commands his area (and beyond) will minimise the number of shots on target. The number of set piece goals conceded are a good indicator.

Communicates effectively particularly with inexperienced players in front of them will minimise defensive errors and further promote confidence. The very best keepers change 1 v 1 scenarios into 2 v 1 scenarios by working with the isolated defender.

Catches the ball minimises the number of shots but also retains possession for counterattack. Opponents worry about quick distribution.

Demands a high line when the team is not in possession creates an effective high press without the ball.

Confident with the ball allows expansive football because the opposition have to cover all eventualities. In general they revert to dropping deep and invite a high press when they don't have possession of the ball.

This kind of keeper promotes the best of a high press style and minimises the number of goals conceded in the team. Every 5 shots on target = 1 or 2 goals conceded no matter how good a save rate they have. When you can't score for love nor money then this stat is critical.

Oh I love a stat (see below) but regardless of anything Rudd should stay in goal for the next game. Any team would be proud to have either in their team.

Shots on target faced - 38
Goals conceded- 10
Average - catch/punch/clearance - 1.55 per game
Distribution accuracy - 35%

Team stats -
48% average possession
Shots taken - 120
Corners conceded- 54
Points - 15 (inc Sheffield FA cup)

Maxwell last 10 games

Clean sheets - 5
Save rate - 77%
Shots on target faced - 31
Goals conceded- 7
Average - catch/punch/clearance - 3.83 per game

Can you provide a link to the stats otherwise people might suggest that you've made them up to project the way you might wish your post to go.
 
Anyone who even remotely believes that Rudd's dietary choices have even the slightest negative impact on his performances severely needs their heads looking at.
 
maxwell in next game and if he does well i’d keep him in for the sat.

it makes perfect sense, neil has the excuse of rotation and then if he keeps a clean sheet vs a solid leeds side he has an excuse to continue

wether rudd is better or not he isnt performing and needs a rest, this weeks games allow that without harming his confidence. Carry on with him in and the mistakes may increase.

Having seen the goals conceded against Norwich and despite preferring Rudd I’d lick Maxwell...

And then common sense would tell you if he had a good game you keep him in

I'd suggest leaving Nmecha in to give him further game time. He is a young kid so no harm playing two games in a week again. Tuesday is a free hit so use it for extra time for him to try and gel
 
Point 1 : Any Keeper that stays rooted to his line will never get my vote and we've had decades of them at PNE driving us all mad...


No more points.. 🙂

Where would you lick Maxwell? You've been out in the sun too long, you pervert! 😱
 
Maxwell all day for me as 1st choice. In addition to the pro-active approach to goalkeeping, I actually think he helps our attacking game. Maxwell will come for a ball in the box and frequently sets off a counter attack, which served us well last season. Rudd stays rooted to the line, making us have to defend a little deeper. A number of times this season, Rudd’s refusal to collect the ball from a cross has resulted in the defence half clearing the ball. As an example, towards the end of the QPR game Rudd failed to come for a relatively straight forward cross. Just seconds later he made a superb save, which many on heat raved about. If he’d done the basic bit moments earlier, that shot wouldn’t have come in. On that occasion it ended up well, but it frequently doesn’t.

...as General Melchet from Blackadder might have said ..'I wouldn't lick Maxwell if he were glazed in honey.'

Use whoscored.com

Plus some extra adding and dividing to complete the extra detail hence not being bothered to do the sums.

Just for the record I am a PNE fan first and foremost- matters not who plays as long as it's our best eleven.
