ducatiboy Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 Absolutely agree, he has already saved five certain goals, we would have conceded last season, brilliant keeper and one of us! Quote
A_A wehatethehibs Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 Best signing of the budge era bar none. Quote

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. I want to laugh but it’s too close to the truth Quote

Mmmm not wanting to dampen your humour but Robbie previously told us Jack Hamilton “was always going to be our number one this season”. Quote

wattie exploited Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 he is worth a goal start for us ever game such a great goalie Quote

SectionDJambo Posted October 16, 2020 Posted October 16, 2020 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

I didn't really see a defence last night. 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

milky_26 Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 that one save where a deflection changed the direction and he had to quicky change the direction he dived was great Quote
Mister Dee Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 He oozes class, & gives the whole team confidence. So, who wants to own up to greeting about him coming back? Quote

Rudy T Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 I saw a Hearts keeper make a save last night at Tynecastle, it's been a long time since I've witnessed that. Quote
martoon Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Loved the way he continually threw the ball out to a teammate. Many of our attacks started with the big man. Superb goalie. We're lucky to have him. Quote
joondalupjambo Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 How many seasons do folk he has left in him assuming no serious injuries? Quote
AlimOzturk Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Celtic would probably bite our hand off to have him back. He is the best keeper in Scotland still Imo Quote
Russ1977 Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 It’s quite a nice feeling watching a game and not completely bricking myself every time the opposition look like shooting. Quote
japanjambo Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Night and day compared to the previous two seasons. Over the moon to have him back! Quote
The Treasurer Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 Having a keeper like CG spreads confidence through the defence Quote

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

Just hope the big mans legs hold up - if this happens no reason we can’t have 3-4 more seasons, and good seasons. Like u said, it just feels right 👍 Edited October 17, 2020 by Hearts1975 Edit Quote

gregzy2k7 Posted October 17, 2020 Posted October 17, 2020 OP spot on! Even at Craig's age he is easily one of the top 5 goalkeepers in the country! Stewart is looking like a very decent back up goalie too. Great to have decent options in goals again! Quote
