Ankergren

[El Turi]

And they're not starting Harding.. More bad news.

Or Halford who was almost as bad as Harding at the Amex.

 

[Ali_rrr]

Not that there is that much between them but I've always felt Brezovan was the better keeper.

I agree. Brezovan made some quality saves last season which people seem to forget, it's just the big games he buckles in.

 

[ees complicated no?]

That Newcastle side was shocking though. Ankers single handedly lost us the Arsenal game.

This is correct, I can see us letting in atleast 3 today, NF are on very good form & we have loads of players out :/

 

[JBizzle]

I can't believe we lost today. Those mistakes my Ankergren were appalling. Should be shot.

Sorry what? We haven't played yet? They way people are talking I could have sworn we'd already lost...

Give the team a chance lads, eh?

 

[downham seagull]

It will be fine! A solid defence will inspire Casper to a great performance and the ability upfront to score some goals. Keep the faith!

 

[Tyrone Biggums]

Season over then.

 

[GreersElbow]

That Newcastle side was shocking though. Ankers single handedly lost us the Arsenal game.

Using this logic.


Kuszczak single handedly lost us the Watford game.

 

[Perkino]

He won't have anything to do today, we will run this game and get an early goal

 

[Laughing Gravy]

I hope Anks has a good game, but I have got no faith in the guy whatsoever.
Just don't rate him.

Will be happy if he proves me wrong though.

 

[StanmoreSeagull]

Why say in the pre match press conference they are fine then not play them... Very frustrating! Or is it mind games for the opposition perhaps?

 

[Steve Foster]

Anyone want to change their score?

[Westdene Wonder]

With our best team we would do well to snatch a point today but with the injuries and suspensions Forest could well inflict our heaviest defeat of the season,main concern is that we can field a stronger team for the home game on Tuesday

Because despite what people think, the pre match press conferences are not for the fans!

Perhaps because they weren't ill yesterday..?

As it is sickness rather than injury, they may have been fine on Thurs.

This is no place to be talking sense. Stop it immediately.

 

[GreersElbow]

Ankergren has only played two games - and in one of them he was arguably at fault for 3 goals.

Giroud's first shot wasn't going to be easy to catch. Top left corner...very few will make that save.
Giroud's second shot was pure chance, Ankergren was right to slide in to make the challenge, it was unfortunate it went in. But then again, what was El-Abd doing?
Walcott's goal was a deflection....again, not much you can do.

I'm not trying to find excuses for the poor lad, and I know we'll concede a few.

But to single him out as the main cause as to why we lost to a traditionally top 4 team is pathetic. Kuszczak could have done more during the Watford game, yet you're not on his back. What about the howler at Birmingham? Nothing.

He's not as good as Kuszczak, but you're inferring that because of Ankergren, we lost against Arsenal. The way we played, it was bound to be a draw. But because of a DEFLECTION - we lost.

And let's bring in Kuszczak's number of games played, in theory, he could of done better. In practice, it's entirely different.

 

[portslade seagull]

With both of them out it suddenly makes the game that much harder ... Please Ankers do not punch of palm anything into the middle of the box push it to the sides

 

[Ninja Elephant]

A lot of nonsense about Ankergren here, solid number 2 at this level and easily good enough to step in when required. I have no concerns about his appearance today.

Bigger day for Crofts than for Ankergren.
