ducatiboy Posted October 16 Absolutely agree, he has already saved five certain goals, we would have conceded last season, brilliant keeper and one of us! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jonesy Posted October 16 Yes. While it was an innovative move to try playing without a keeper for the 2019/20 season, I think Neilson's reversion to a more orthodox approach by actually having a goalie might just improve our chances. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He had no chan e with any of those goals and made a couple of decent stops. Delighted he's not our keeper though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SectionDJambo Posted October 16 You can sense the lack of panic in our defence knowing he is there, instead of the likes of what we’ve had over the last few seasons. There was a time, even during the dark days of the 70s and early 80s, that we had excellent goalkeepers, with a couple or so exceptions. Just think. Cruickshank, Smith, Niemi, Gordon, Kello, to name just 5. Wilson, Dunlop, Nelson, Pereira, Kurskis to name another 5. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I saw guys at the back that were trying to start an attack. Even Craig was moving the ball quickly and starting the process of going forward.. None of last years pedestrian two steps forward then back to the goalie. Great to have him back. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OTT Posted October 17 18 hours ago, Hearts1975 said: Great Keeper. Back home where he belongs 👏👏👏 Definitely. Feel a lot better with him in goals and there is something thats just right about having the big man back. Really gutted he's 37 though. Heres hoping he can give us 3/4 seasons. Considering he lost 2 years of his career to injury, I'm keen to see if the adding them on at the end thing really is true. If Buffon can still be going into his 40s, then no reason Craig can't at our level. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just hope the big mans legs hold up - if this happens no reason we can’t have 3-4 more seasons, and good seasons.
