heartsfc_fan Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Doyle needs games to improve his confidence and communication with those in front of him. We're at a good SPL level of keeper, perhaps similar to a few years ago where we had Kello and Balogh. Two good keepers occasionally prone to a flap. Jon McLaughlin was not perfect either remember at the start of his tenure. Oh for a Niemi...was back at Tynecastle the other day aswell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Famous 1874 Posted December 30, 2018 Share Posted December 30, 2018 Scott Bain would be ideal. Scottish, jambo and a solid goalie, shame he’s at Celtic so very unlikely to happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VALDOS Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I think he is a steady enough keeper to see out this season, however my gut feeling is a new keeper will be in the plans for the summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunny Munro Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 I think Doyle and Bobby are similar. Both look decent when they've got a good defence in front of them, but if the defence caves in they'll look dodgy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walter Burns Posted December 31, 2018 Share Posted December 31, 2018 First cross that came into the box he took it clean as you like....safe hands, rather have a clean catch than a slap or attempted punch on the ball....was impressed after hearing some of the scare stories on here about him....

Boyces beard Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 He is a big unit and has made some great saves since he got his chance (especialy the fingertips save from Whitaker at easter road) but today he didnt deal well with cross balls. He looked nervous and when he did come and make a connection he never got any distance on the ball. He looks a great shot stopper and a clean sheet is all you can ask from your keeper i just think for such a big unit he should command his box more from cross balls.

gashauskis9 Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Shot-stopping = solid Urgency/use of the ball = poor Commanding the area/cross balls = terrible Kicking = poor Not sold on him so far, would prefer Bobby back in (and I reckon the back 4 would too).

feedthefox Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Is that 3 clean sheets in row? Hard as it is to be negative he looks v uneasy and there was one occasion when a fairly innoccuious pass which travelled all the way into the box ended up being hacked out for a corner as he wouldn't leave his 6 yard box and come and claim it. Berra gave him pelters and luckily the corner came to nothing, I'm not sold at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim Weir Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Given the size of him you expect far better when dealing with cross balls. Doesn't command penalty area to same extent as Zlamal either Reality in my eyes is we've got 2 very very average goalkeepers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whodanny Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 Have to say that Colin is giving me the fear too. I think he will be a good keeper but at the moment he is tentative, doesn't command his box, I think he's a poor second to Bobby Zlamal, at the moment. I was shocked to see how much verbal he got from Cristophe. Remember. a good goalkeeper should command his box. Currently Colin Doyle doesn't. But think he could be a good keeper eventually. Bobby is our best option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luscious Laryea Posted January 20, 2019 Share Posted January 20, 2019 He's just had three clean sheets - I don't see any urgent reason to drop him for an error-prone Bobby. Doyle doesn't convince with crosses but his kicking really isn't as poor as interpreted by our support. Very solid shot stopper and he doesn't fill me with nearly as much fear as Bobby. Bobby does the hard stuff brilliantly and the easy stuff woefully. Stick with Doyle I say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Boy Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Hard to judge a keeper on so few games. I don’t like the way he spills the ball in front of himself though, reminds me of the terror Jamie MacDonald used to evoke in me. Hopefully just needs a run of games to show what he can do.

Cruyff Turn Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 He’s come for crosses in every game he’s played and taken one perhaps. Hardly big Gilles, he used to pluck them out of the air. Seems a solid shot stopper though. Kickings a bit meh but these guys started their careers before this sweeper keeper malarkey became fashionable and keepers didn’t necessarily have to be great at passing the ball.

DG_HMFC Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 He flapped at everything yesterday. For a giant of a guy he's not got much strength when crowded.

Bainy Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 They are nowhere near as good as what we have been blessed with previously we usually have a solid keeper as far back as I can remember.

mscjambo Posted January 21, 2019 Share Posted January 21, 2019 Zlmal started well enough but became error prone. The penalty he gave away at Livingston coming for a cross ball. Have we all wiped that from memory. Doyle deserves the jersey until he does something to lose it. It is how it worked with Bobby Realistically there is not alot between either keeper and maybe next season we will see a change then.

There’s 4 right off the top of my head. I have no confidence in Doyle either though, looks horrendous on cross balls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
