HMFC THE TEAM FOR ME Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Zander Clark St Johnstone, Goalkeeper only 26 years old brilliant season he has had at St Johnstone, by far the best GK in the league most saves most clean sheets was outstanding at the weekend against Celtic. I feel Zlamal & Doyle are back up keepers at best and that’s really the only position we have lacked this season I would love us to make an investement in the summer similar to what we have done with Souttar. Just my opinion if we can keep the current squad together and add a solid GK like Clark I honestly feel we can make a real push for top 3 next season.

goldie83 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Far superior to the two we have at the moment. Doyle puts the fear into me that I havent felt since Nelson......(don’t include Kurskis as he wasn’t really a No 1) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with both posts. It’s not that Doyle has made many mistakes... It’s just he’s an accident waiting to happen constantly spilling balls and coming flying out at corners. Clark would be an incredible bit of business if possible Scotland number 1 within 2-3 years mark my words. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JyTees Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Certainly need a keeper. Seen enough of Doyle now to know he's nowhere near good enough. Bobby unfortunately is a brain fart away from conceding in most games although having seen them both play a similar amount of games now I actually advocate sticking him back in. Unfortunately I think we'll have missed an opportunity with Clark. He'll be going to either one of the gruesome twosome after this season's performance. I trust the club will be working on this for the start of next season though. A goalkeeper capable of winning you games or at least contributing to picking up a point is paramount to a successful team. I'm sure it'll be sorted for next season's charge. We're a coxic away from having a proper spine. ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at Scottish goalkeepers coming through imo he looks head and shoulders above most. Gordon, McGregor and Marshall are all past their best and the lad Archer at Millwall makes mistakes. I would make this lad a priority if his form continues before the ugly sisters come calling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobNox Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I agree with other posters, if we could get this lad in then it would be a fantastic signing. A top class goalie can easily be worth 10-15 points over a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GavK1012 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 It seems most folk passing comment re Doyle share the same view...he hasnt had much of a test as yet so unfair maybe to judge too soon but equally looks less than comfortable with commanding his area and dealing with cross balls...we seen how much a good reliable quality GK feeds the confidence of the back line when we had Big Jon last year...would be a real statement of intent if the management recognised this in the summer and acted accordingly...as others have said we may have missed the boat here re ZC's profile now, but you never know.... ?

RudiHMFC Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Doyle can't catch it, every time a cross goes near him I'm squirming, he misjudged a couple on Friday that sailed dangerously over his head, he has got solid hands when a shot is fired in to him but he gives me the fear as does Zlamal, a keeper is a must for next season.

joondalupjambo Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Cannot see CL ever wanting to pay, or have the money to pay, another SPL side for their goalkeeper, would need to wait until they were out of contract. He might consider Gordon if he got out of his Celtic contract and wanted to end his career at Hearts for little dough but that is not ideal given his age. I would have thought unearthing another keeper from the thousands out there would be his tactic assuming he thinks he needs one. Ok perhaps Bobby and Doyle not perfect but they will be fine for this season in my view. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, he's made one blinding fingertip save that night and was pretty assured for the rest of that game. I personally thought that he did in fact, get all due credit for his performance at Easter Road. It's the flapping at crosses and some of his decision making for cross balls in general that seem to put the fear into many. If that doesn't improve soon it's going to cost us.

Also worth adding that he has kept 4 clean sheets in 7 appearances, potentially 5 if Berra hadn't conceded the penalty.

HMFC86 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 He made more goalkeeping errors in the game against us than Doyle has. Looks a really good shot stopper, but handling is very poor.

Shaggy2 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I’m fine with being patient with Doyle. You’d think folk (me included) would have learned their lesson this season after Clare. How come the same patience isn’t being shown towards our goalkeeper? He’s already had a derby winning save and looks pretty solid for the most part.

Bazzas right boot Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 I'd have a look at that Foderingham from Rangers.

Cruyff Turn Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Yep agree, a good keeper. Even though Doyle has done ok, (as has Zlamal for the most part), both are partial to brainfarts, although Doyle has “gotten away” with a few shite kicks and cross balls he has come for and missed. If we’re building a strong team we need a long term option in the nets. Clark and the Livi boy are decent but I’m sure there are others. Is Doyle’s contract not up at the end of the season?
