A week on the training ground

[The Crab]

It was Fleck who was too slow in closing down for Birmingham’s goal on Saturday.

Very slow, the game was Friday night

 

[cahill]

I'll risk one eye!

and wear glasses a bit

 

[Nick Jansky]

Very slow, the game was Friday night

I’m fairly sure I was there watching it on Saturday!!

 

[The Crab]

You of course are correct. With it being a Sky game, I'd got Friday in my head. My apologies!

I'll just skulk back into my box

Can’t be, lundstram was playing

 

[BridBladesman]

Brail porn

Would get a good fingering though

 

[stringer]

You can see he isn’t communicating like Simon Moore does, unless of course he’s an accomplished ventriloquist

Not being as loud as Moore isn't the same as being quiet...

To be fair to fleck if he'd gone straight to the goalscorer he would have left the guy on the right hand side completely unmarked
More of a defensive mix up if you ask me

Well in terms of being a top class goalkeeper, I think it is.

But I'd be interested to know, in the name of balance and all that, just how many games have you played with/against Jamal, in forming your opinion?

So any goalkeeper with a voice quieter than Simon Moore can't be 'top class'? I've played none, just speak to players regularly who comment on his communication. As long as they can hear him, it doesn't particularly matter if you or I cannot, does it?

No, what I believe is that top goalkeepers need a variety of skills and abilities, one of which is good communication.

Let's take the QPR incident, clearly CCV didn't know JB was coming for it and the collision between the two should have been avoided, in that scenario Blackman should have burst CCV eardrums. So I'd be grateful if next time you and the lads, are discussing JB communication skills, ask CCV why he didn't get out of his fucking way at Loftus Road or put it over the South Stand, instead of giving him a hospital ball back pass v Fulham?

For the record, I think Blackmans a good keeper, but if he has a weakness, it appears to be communicating with his defence.

He clearly did shout at QPR. Hence why CCV makes no attempt to head the ball. As for not moving, did you expect CCV to just vanish into thin air?

 

[Willie Carlin]

After reflection and speaking to some neutrals I think we just need to relax a tad. 2 neutrals commented that we battered them but why were we not getting crosses in the box, and when they did they were poor.

We need to work on getting crosses off quicker and ensuring a striker gets across the front post.

Not what I witnessed. We put 45 crosses into box according to match stats in this mornings paper. One every two minutes!!!!

Maybe he drops them a snapchat or facetime?

I suggest you watch it again, without the rose tinted glasses. Clearly the first CCV knows about it is when Blackmans rolling over his left shoulder as the two run into each other.

So why doesn’t he try to head it, or do anything at all?

There was a shout, however I doubt he thought that Blackman would need to leap like a salmon over him.

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

Strange isn't it.

Under Adkins I'm sure the squad spent every week on the training ground but you wouldn't have thought it.

That's where all the unseen work went on ....

 

[BornOnShorehamStreet]

You of course are correct. With it being a Sky game, I'd got Friday in my head. My apologies!

Goooo on, gerrin!!!!

 

[1889]

So why doesn’t he try to head it, or do anything at all?

Probably because he was still moving backwards with the ball about two foot above his head when Blackman clattered into him.

Anyway there's little point in debating the point, we clearly interpret what's happened differently?

As I've said, I think Blackmans a good keeper, but he could improve his communication, you clearly disagree. Fair enough
