Oh dear, must have been divine intervention after all!
It was McFadzean. He likes to yell what he needs to do to help remind himself, given "he's not defender".

Or the other defenders were telling him what to do as hes not a defender.
So because we don't rate him ,just because he has come through the academy and hes 21 (is that young ?) we should just praise him and let him continue to cost us points ? It has nothing to do with any of that ,some of us can see that he simply isn't good enough for this level of football in our opinion.Yes that's probably it Jehovah!.....
For what it's worth I have nothing against Howard and think he could do a perfectly good job in goal, just as he did last season.
What I do take issue with is the continual rubbishing by some board users of the young lad's in the team who have come up through the academy. I almost get the feeling they want some of the lads to cock up or play poorly just to vindicate their negative stance?
But whatever floats their boat!
Although it's 18 months down the line, it's worth remembering that after Clough had been in charge for a couple of months, we were still around the relegation zone, with Long being the first choice keeper. After losing 3-0 to Crewe, Long was dropped for Howard for the Fulham away match. The defence suddenly seemed more stable (despite Long seeming to make more saves) and we then stormed up the table. The change of keeper could have been a coincidence but I suspect not.
It's weird that not many have actually acknowledged the tremendous skill and composure that was shown by Hernandez when he took the ball on. The way he nodded it into his own path from a lob was a staggering show of ability.
It's just one of those things, Hernandez is a top notch player with great skill and things like that happen when you play against those sorts of players. I'd be quite certain you wouldn't find any league one player finish with such finesse and ability at the lane or anywhere for that matter.
There was absolutely nothing Long could do about that goal.
You could equally say that the removal of Hill, who was replaced with Harris after the Crewe game, could have been the key there. Nobody would deny that his confidence was clearly low then though, and keepers will go through phases where they lose confidence. People only seem to remember the low-on-confidence Long, while excusing Howard's errors as somehow all due to injury.
Could Howard have put in that performance? I suggest not.
Anyone changing their opinion ?
100%! Howard was prone to costly mistakes but gave the back four confidence, Long isn't just a poor keeper but he seems ago be a nervous wreck.Howard ended the season looking dodgy from long range shots. That masked a long period of good performance. Long has been wank for his entire career with us. I'm totally amazed that more than 41% of forum members would vote for him.
"Give him a run"..........fuck me.
UTB
better off playing goalie wag cause there both aas bad as each other.Now pre season is over who would you choose to be in goal for us this season?
Anyone changing their opinion ?
Me.Anyone changing their opinion ?
Good old Local George. He had two good games for Motherwell so he's left all his glaringly obvious faults behind him.
There's Bladey Bladeness all over this. My favourite is that we should choose him because he's an "unknown quantity". Yes, that's certainly the way to choose a goalkeeper. I think it's known as the "Lee Baxter" theory...
6 goals conceded in 2 home games... does anyone think Adkins will rotate GK again?
How many of those goals could realistically be put down to Howard ?6 goals conceded in 2 home games... does anyone think Adkins will rotate GK again?
