How good was Blackman

[Magic 20]

When a keeper commands the box like him it’s makes it so much easier for the defence. Superb handling. In my opinion a better keeper than Moore

 

[DiggerBlade]

Sounded like he had a very good game.

 

[Jon Bon II]

Looked very assured tonight and made some good stops. Good to see him back. The shirt's his to lose now.

 

[Iceybabey]

Brilliant to see him coming off his line and taking the pressure off. It also takes away the anxiety in the crowd and results in a clap and cheer which gives even more confidence to the team. Moore's a top lad and a brilliant keeper but he is very very reluctant to come off his line and when he does someone gets splattered and he sees red haha.

 

[Antonb]

had a very good game, but so did a few others to be fair. Oconnell and stevens had there best game in a while.

 

[originaltrueblade]

Played really well but wrongly positioned for their goal made it easy for Vardy to Lobb him

 

[1889]

Had a great game, but I was expecting him to come and claim the floated cross that Vardy nodded in. I think if he had he'd have got it comfortably, but that said, he kept us in it more than once.

 

[metalblade]

Very good.

I think the quality of Mahrez's ball did him.

 

[Grizzly blade]

Said it from the off.

What he lacks in kicking ability (which will get better by the way) he more than makes up with his handling and command of his box, calm demeanour, and sheer size in the goal. Would be my first pick to be honest.

No coincidence we look more secure at the back.

But woefully out of position for the lobb apart from that he was good

Whaaaaat...the ball went in the back post. If he had covered that the front post would have been wide open and then there would have been some well justified criticism.

 

[Carlton Blade]

He was excellent. Looked a prem keeper. Wouldn't surprise me if he was at a promoted team next year (Wolves Maybe?)

I don't agree on first sight, I'll have to see the replay.

That's how I saw it.

 

[sportinguista in Warsaw]

Woefully out of position??? Seriously...?

 

[metalblade]

It would have to be the brother in laws piggy bastard cousin that scored

Watched it four times now and I stand by what I originally said

 

[Alfreton14Blade]

Just think we're blessed in having two very good goalies right now, very little between the two of them. Full credit to Blackman though in fully seizing his chance & standing out the way he has - been top drawer these last two games. Can't see Moore just slotting back in like Fleck did after his suspension.

 

[hazzasufc_]

His kicking has developed so much while with us. Before he struggled to put it past the half way line and now they're going out for a goal kick at the other end. Really good shot stopper too.

 

[metalblade]

After his performances in the last two games Blackman has to keep the shirt.

Where would you expect him to be positioned in that instance? The only way he would have saved it is if he was stood on the back post and that would have left the front post wide open.

 

[Ihadadream]

We should try to sign him in the Summer at Chelsea he will never be a No1 with us and the physiological confidence boost of moving to a club that actually wants him who knows how good he could be

 

[1973Blade]

I think Chelsea will want to keep him at this rate.

 

[wavy-blade]

Blackman back to form , Brooks is back !!!! , Fleck will be back in 1 match , Ched coming back , Freeman on his way back , Me thinks were gona have a strong finish to the season

Stop it. I'm getting excited.

Any more talk like that, and I will be wondering upstairs to say 'hello' to the missus....

If Jamal had been further back, it would have been an easy nod down by the near post. (Apologies - I see others have already said this)

 

[Nicolaus_Copernicus]

I'd take him again next year on a season loan. That's the best i've seen him play. His handling was excellent, great save to tip the shot around the post & his distribution was good.

That save low down was telling. He's a huge gk. That agility is rare at that size
