Iversens distribution was far from awful, just saying.

Thereve been some weird threads of late.

Probaly why i stay away from the footie section so much.

I agree, not awful, barring the odd spooned kick into touch. The biggest difference though with Woodman is that he gets play moving MUCH faster than Iversen. He sets a better tempo.

I agree with that but with keepers its fine margins with their kicking areas, Woodman also spooned a couple out, on saturday, its always going to happen when trying to play to the target areas on the wings.

Does he? Woodman takes an age on goal kicks. Under instruction I know.

Iversens kicking wasn’t that bad really, he fluffed the odd one but I can’t remember him ever doing anything close to what De Gea did at the weekend, and I doubt he’d have dropped the cross that Ward did for Leicester on Saturday.

I agree with that.
Although I did say on a previous thread that time will tell if his communication wasn't great. So far so good with Woodman.

I`ll make it clear, from evidence ive seen, it looks like weve signed a very decent keeper in woodman. It just irks me to see backhanded swipes at Iversen who served our club so well.

Agree, Iversen was never coming here on a permy and I think we’ve got the best permy that was available. We could easily have ended up with Ryan Allsop or Joe Lumley

I mean in open play. It's pretty obvious if you watch him and compare it to last season.

Thats no knock on Iversen by the way. He was in the top 3 North End keepers in my lifetime.

I think it was a culture developed in the team starting from AN, I notice we are now much quicker with our throw in routines too.

The negative comments about Iversens ability are made by most folk for no other reason than the fact that he no longer plays for PNE.

Not at all. I think if you look back at my posts re Iversen last season I’ve been pretty consistent.
 
He'll be starting Leicester's next game after Ward's ball juggling v Arsenal. Good luck to him.

Bit of an odd thread when Woodman has come in and not conceded a goal yet which shows he's certainly got something about him at this level.
