Jamal 'Safe as houses' Blackman

[Tom Bott]

I like him because he’s black.

I like him because he is a man.

 

[Angef1Blade]

Five surely?

Jamal, Billy, Chris, Jake and Kieron for me.

could be seven if we include out on loan to Donny, Ben ......... and our esteemed manager, Chris ......

Good interview by Jamal on being a Blade.

Lives near a farm eh? Maybe it’s the alpaca one. I had wondered what had inspired his haircut....

 

[Tom Bott]

Yes! I am a person who likes his space. Growing up in south London it was very busy, so I thought when I came to Sheffield I would have a quieter lifestyle and live outside the city. I moved in to a place where there are cows and sheep around and it’s nice and calm.

I note he avoided being near Pigs.

Nah Nah Nah Nah , he's a Blade ?

If Moore should have stopped Hull's why didn't Blackman stop Burton's very similar effort?

I have no agenda as I rank both pretty much equal but I was a peed off by the stick that Moore got after the Hull game and I just wondered what the moaners saw different last night

Are you actually being serious that you can't see the difference between the goals?

2 shots from 30 yds, and wide of the penalty area, that neither keeper got anywhere near.

That makes em pretty similar to me

 

[robbiez666]

Both should have been stopped. The one against Hull moved a lot but still. The one last night looked soft, but need to see it again.

Goal against Hull was pretty central and ball ended up in the middle of the goal.
Goal against Burton wide left ended up in the postage stamp.

I see a different game

One was a top corner stunner that neither would save, the other was central and seemed to be misjudged. They were rather different efforts.

Ridiculous comparison. One was central and the other was postage stamp.

Blackman was superb last night and once again consistently took pressure off the defence by claiming crosses he had no right to take. Another fine display by the young man, and had no chance with the goal.

 

[Maidenhead]

Whatever, like I said I have no agenda.

I've just watched the Hull one again and it was more central than I remember but in some ways that makes it harder for the keeper as the ball could go either side.

 

[Kevincarterversion2.0]

I think Blackman has done well so far - and can understanding why Wilder put him back in. Odd mistakes here and there, but he's learning his trade.

 

[Foody]

Blackman was great last night, De Gea wouldn't have got anywhere near that strike, we backed off him too much but it was perfectly hit. After that Blackman had very few saves to make, but came for, and held on to, every cross. Big presence and on top form!

His handling was superb last night

I was in the blu stand for hulls goal it went between moores hands.
last night at Burton i was directly in line with the shot blackman could get nowhere near it and not to blame.

 

[dc_blade]

Thought last night was one of Blackman's most impressive performances for us. Not many saves to make, but he looked very confident, dominated his area, excellent handling. It takes a certain something to do that after the QPR incident. He did have one poor kick, but we already knew that was an area of his game that needs work.

 

[Esablade]

I think we saw why Blackman has the no.1 shirt last night with his handling of dangerous crosses.
Love the way he just steps through the crowd and calmly grabs the ball...

 

[LJBlade]

It’s also worth saying that yesterday Wilder had the chance to give Moore a run of games but instead he chose to put Blackman back, showing that he clearly has faith in his abilities

 

[biggey blade]

I don' see how any one can compare either of them goals other than the fact they was hit from similar distances?
The one in the hull game was pretty much straight at moore and I do think he should have done better with it and I think Blackman would have saved that.
The one last night against burton was a wonderfully hit strike from us backing off him and giving him to much space and he hit a brilliant strike right into the top left hand corner which was unstoppable you could have put anyone in the net last night and I would have been very impressed if they had have stopped that.
I like Moore and it's nothing against him but I do think Blackman is the better keeper as it stands. The way Blackman comes out and claims crosses and set pieces it doesn't leave the attackes with much faith if they are going for the long ball and just putting balls into the box chasing games.

If Jamal had been in the net for the Hull game that shot might have hit his chest!

Great to see the big man back.
