Howard

[ijjysmith]

The only thing Ill say and I mean the ONLY thing is that it is in the corner

I guess. But basic keeping is knowing where your posts are. And he had no bloody idea.

It's like he thought it was going wide and then realised and looked stupid.

I've had enough of him. I really have. But we have nobody else.

The daft [Poor language removed] tried to save the post and not the ball.

I agree. Absolutely clanger that.

Im just saying that although its a shocker the only 0.0001% of any positive is that its in teh corner.

Someone on another forum said that tourettes gets worse with age and the reason hes getting worse is that he is touretted off his face.

Can groucho clarify this please

I know mate. My anger in the post is not aimed at you. It's aimed at him.

Wow... That actually hurts my eyes when I look at it!
A cardboard cut-out of Howard could have saved that!

Is it just a coincidence that we keep conceeding from set-pieces near the halfway line?

My favourite bit was when someone said Gordon wouldn't be an improvement.

 

[Hellerad]

Looked like he couldn't decide if it was low for a kick save (bad choice), high for a parry (better choice), or going wide (worst choice). In the end he chose all 3 simultaneously and pissed himself.

Why is Chris Woods training our goalies, when one of the best there has ever been has had to re-train for a second career ??

 

[Blue Truth]

The goal he gave up was horrible but besides that he did decent today. We could have easily lost 3-1 or 4-1.

He's not having a good season but he's not getting too much help either. I haven't seen a team worse than us on free kicks this year. Sad considering a few years ago we were probably the best team in the prem taking and defending free kicks.

he was decent by the standards he has set for himself this year

Being proficient in your position doesn't necessarily mean you make a great trainer or manager mate.

As much as I love Big Nev, he shouldn't be inside the club... He was the last World Class player we had and I'd hate to have someone like that have to tow the line in the media. That's just me, though.

Was Howard concerned about colliding with the post? He seemed to be looking at the woodwork and not the ball.

There was a stat today that Howard makes an average of 2.5 saves per game. Most matches he'll have some sort of one on one after a defensive blunder where he saves with his feet. He's not doing enough the rest of the time for us to overlook his glaring errors. Friedel would be an improvement at the moment.

 

[ianbearnson]

it seems like he's always falling backwards into the goal instead of taking a straight trajectory across the goalmouth

It's a shame. He was having an excellent game up until a giant ef up. I was happy thinking that he finally looked confident back there. And then he made a giant error, one that I find frankly bizarre as he usually makes those saves - he made harder ones in the same game. Horrible error - and it's 100% on him.

So I'm bought into the fact that he's not right currently. Bring in someone else, see what they can do. I don't want to sell him, because he might come right. Get rid of Mucha - who if he's not playing with Timmy's current form shows Moyes has zero confidence in him.

We need someone to challenge Timmy - find them, and give them a shot.

As for the point dropper comments - he absolutely gets one of those points, but Osman the other. Plus, Stoke played us off the pitch in the 2nd half - continuing our usual 2nd half meltdown.
