Drunkards at FourFourTwo!

[Schrödinger's Toad]

Just perusing the season preview, under Brighton:

"A lesson from last season Goalkeeper Ben Roberts could be a liability at this level. He has much to prove if he hopes to stay in the side."

A liability at this level? Seemed to do pretty well last time, and was one of the best keepers in the league last year, shurely shome mishtake?

He only played about 4 games last time. Kuipers has been the better keeper in the friendlies, but I am sure Roberts will get the nod on the back of better distribution.

Surely his ridiculous propensity for rushing out of his box will get punished in this division. He needs to curb that or he will be a liability.

Harsh. Hard to say how many shots he has cut out by coming off his line but when he gets it wrong it looks awful. Just remember Mark Walton and the number of times he got beaten because he DIDN'T come off his line.

 

[Buckingham]

He did kurb the problem of rushing out of goal and then messing it up. Always remember what MM said at the meeting at the Btn Uni Sports and Social Club (or whatever its called) back in April.

He told Roberts in mid January 'when in tight corners, kick the ball into the next County'. Generally he seemed to heed his managers words after that.

 

[Lord Bracknell]

Worthing

 

[Wilka]

Didn't he f*** something up at Cambridge?

There is some sort of myth he is good at distrubution.... I can remember loads of times his quick throws have played us into trouble

 

[London Irish]

He's not fully fit, give him a rest and he'll come back as one of our best players, as he was last season.

 

[lincs seagull]

Kuipers number one kuipers kuipers number one

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

[Albion Dan]

Couldn't be anything to do with the fact that some of our outfield players last year couldn't trap a medicine ball for a large part of the season? (apologies to Brian Clough for pinching his lines)

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

His throws start so many counter attacks

people just dont like him because he is not kuipers

hm ... away at Barnsley, dreadful 'distribution' throw; Danny gets injured trying to save the situation and goes off. After which, natch, we were dreadful. And lost.

my god that was about the 3rd game of the season

if you want to do that kuipers at peterborough were he kicked it straight into touch and they scored from it.

I think his bad back will keep him out for Reading game.
