We’ve sorted the keeper issue out but our defending as a team is now worse than ever. Its so frustrating. I know we have conceded a bit recently but I think our defence in a weird way has looked better. We seemed get caught out a lot from midfielders and widemen not covering and helping ouy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted February 19, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 19, 2019 I'm not sure what Steer has ever done to warrant the praise he gets from some fans. Not that he's been terrible or anything, but I've never seen him do anything special when he's had a chance. Given he's played under several managers/coaches now and he's still not getting a run in the team, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet he's not good enough. Someone would have given him a chance if he was showing in training and reserve games that he was up to the task. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree if he was deemed good enough he would play. Decent number 2 to have I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted February 19, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 19, 2019 So why does every manager or, presumably, goalkeeping coach we have had since he's been here always want to sign a number 1 ahead of him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because managers want a keeper that is more than just not terrible. Nyland was terrible so that didn’t work. Kalinic is decent in my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AVTuco Posted February 19, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted February 19, 2019 Concussion, eh? I thought Smith just had had enough, and wanted to wake the team up by taking him off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slovenian Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Kalinić started for Croatia yesterday against Azerbaijan. Croatia won 2 - 1. He made a crucial save at the beginning of the match but then let a goal in that he should save. Received the worst score in his team on most websites :\.

Nigel Posted March 22, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted March 22, 2019 It's no wonder he's not performing well if he's not playing here. It's good for us that he's getting game time somewhere though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomaszk Posted March 22, 2019 Author Share Posted March 22, 2019 I think he's better than Steer. Bit annoying he's not been in the team since Jack has been back so he can get confidence along with everyone else. There's more of a future with him in the side. Don't really want to have to throw him in for playoffs if Steer has a bad last two matches or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looking at the goal he conceded I'm not sure he should have saved it, it was a really weird looping shot that went in off the crossbar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a shame he was settling in when our defence was all over the place. I think he probably will get a chance soon, but I do agree with Smith that while we’re keeping clean sheets it’s hard to change our defence or keeper.
