I’m confused as to why you’ve waited until he’s just made some great saves in a 2-0 at Ibrox to reveal the details of your German reports saying he’s anxious in front of crowds 😂 bizarre. Was posted by another poster on here when he signed Peggy. But don't let that stop you from being livid.

Good decision to sign him. Good decision to play him today. Hopefully McInnes can get a bounce game or two organised. Make sure any teething problems are sorted.

A couple of good saves and looked pretty comfortable otherwise. Don't think he was the only Hearts player fouled in the box plenty pulling of shirts on Hearts men .
soonbe110 Posted September 13 Posted September 13 2 hours ago, Threedoorsdown said: He's unorthodox, struggles with crowds and is prone to heart stopping moments, if he didn't he wouldn't be playing for us. What he offers in terms of shot stopping far outweighs the negatives though when compared to the other options in Clark and Gordon. I can see why he's at us and I can see why we signed him. Certainly doesn’t look like catching the ball is his game. Looked to punch at every opportunity. Xcellent back up for Gordon from Falkirk game onwards.
soonbe110 Posted September 13 Posted September 13 2 hours ago, Craiglockhart No.9 said: I got flapper vibes Anyway clean sheet in a tough place for a debut. Onwards and upwards Yep, flapped twice, came out of box twice when he shouldn’t have and one poor kick out that nearly cost us. 2/3 excellent saves. Big guy, kicks the ball well. Jury is out for me.
Dallas Green Posted September 13 Posted September 13 The one he tipped onto the bar, Clark doesn't save that. That in itself is enough for me to be happy with him as number 1. Thought he played well, couple of nerves but they will iron out.
Bridge of Djoum Posted September 13 Posted September 13 I'm hoping he is our modern day Gilles Rousset. Experienced keeper who will be a presence. Very happy with his joining us.
Polonia Gorgie Posted September 13 Posted September 13 I was impressed with his debut, some excellent saves and his kicking is really good
Bridge of Djoum Posted September 13 Posted September 13 Feel sorry for Zander, just not what's required for us moving forward. Little point in building an outfield 10 with a keeper who's confidence seems shot. He did a job for us, but we are moving in a direction he Isn't part of. Have to wish him well. Early days, but the big German looks the part for the forseeable.

Mirror Posted September 13 Posted September 13 I caught the 2nd half today. He looked good but had a couple of shaky moments which were hopefully just debut nerves. Not many keepers get a debut and a clean sheet at Ibrox so I think the no 1 spot is his for now

Rudi5kaceldream1ng Posted September 13 Posted September 13 I seriously liked what I saw from big Alex today. A real commanding presence and some agility for a big guy. Rousset esque.

DG_HMFC Posted September 13 Posted September 13 3 hours ago, tian447 said: Funny, I got the exact opposite and have said to others "nice to have a keeper that doesn't flap at everything"! Same here. I didn't feel like he was about to chuck one into his own net like the Dundee Utd keeper did today.

I would say he is not a typical British goalkeeper, the way he saves is knocking balls away rather than catching the ball which may make some fans nervous, but I do think if embraced then will do well for us.
gregzy2k7 Posted September 13 Posted September 13 Must say, watching the game back, he pulled off 2 or 3 really top saves, I think Zander probably concedes the Assgard shot and the one later in the match from close range that is hit at pace. Looks a good find.

I don’t think any GKs catch the ball nowadays unfortunately, theres only about two British GKs in teams in our league anyway.
Pasquale for King Posted September 13 Posted September 13 Looked good, great tip onto the bar, some hoof on him too, hard and low, not the outdated high crap our GK coach favours.
HMFC01 Posted September 13 Posted September 13 He's better than I thought he'd be. He must be delighted with his defence. It helps having an organised defence in front of him. Some of his critics must be scratching their ear-holes at that performance 😂 Like a dream having him at Hearts after watching Freiburg with him as #1. He'll get tested in different scenarios but he's come out fantastic today versus Rangers. His kicking was definitely noticeably good. I thought it was a clear foul on him by Aasgaard.. Raised arm. Clearly pissed at the wonder save in the first half.

loveofthegame Posted September 13 Posted September 13 (edited) A guy that chose us over better financial offers immediately has my respect. Same age as Rousset was when we signed him. Hope it’s the start of something as beautiful. Edited September 13 by loveofthegame
Pans Jambo Posted September 13 Posted September 13 (edited) Not read the fred but I know our last keeper would not have saved at least 2 attempts today. Well done lad. Hero in the making. Edited September 13 by Pans Jambo

Penrices left boot Posted September 13 Posted September 13 Will wait, think their disallowed goal was a bit soft. His kickout in the first half also caused 5 minutes of nonsense after us being in control. First game tho and he done OK.
Salvatori5 Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Hopefully much more in the locker than today. Didn’t have much confidence in him though hopefully that changes the more game time he gets.

Portable Badger Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Well probably the most important Schwolow performance statistic is, according to the Scrabble Score Calculator, he’s worth 19 points.

LSC Posted September 14 Posted September 14 100% shot stopper which is indeed his job , claiming crosses at corners is also part of it . saved the game but also could have lost it ( ish ) every hearts player will have a weakness or they’d be at Real Madrid 👍from me

jock _turd Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Going to have to get more games before anybody can make a real assessment of his ability but he did make a few good saves... on the other hand I though he was a bit edgy at some points when they had a lot of players around him. Let's see how he progresses before making a judgement yesterday was a huge game in front of a huge crowd he is probably going to feel a bit of extra pressure?
Getintaethem Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Good shot stopper, decent with the ball at his feet and kicking. Not convincing with cross balls and corners. Can be pleased with his debut, will wait a few games before judging him due to his lack of match practice.

One absolute outstanding save and one dodgy moment he got away with. Ultimately a clean sheet.
Dazo Posted September 14 Posted September 14 Flappy at crosses and lost a soft disallowed goal. Couple of decent saves and a clean sheet mostly thanks to the ref and the post.
