Apart from being a good shot stopper he has nothing else to his game. Not the best at coming for crosses and kicks like hes never kicked a ball before. This is not a "drop him" thread. Just an observation.

Is PIG as good as we thought?

Yes, hes just having a bad patch at the moment - along with the entire team today.

He is the best we have got by a country mile!
He's very much still in credit.
I doubt the same could have been said of either of the back-ups.

I agree, but he needs to do some extra work on his kicking. It's terrible

He IS the best we - or most other championship clubs - have got (I can only think of Steele, Bogdan and Butland as better), but I don't suppose a spell out would do him any harm - a chance for him to recharge and also a chance to prove that he's not indispensable. Casper hasn't let himself down when given the opportunity this season, and I don't think think he would if he got a prolonged chance. Football is becoming more and more a squad game, and it might be time to shuffle the pack, albeit for a short time.

So others are noticing too now are they? Interesting, after the reaction I got when suggesting we were blind to his flaws.
Knee jerk thread tonight though, as mine was after Watford. We have a very good Championship goalkeeper and certainly not a weakness of any kind in the team.

No way! The last thing we want right now is to give him a rest! As said previously, he is in a different class to the other 2 keepers. And I would suggest that Casper did let us down against arsenal - for the winning goal. Having made a few good saves (no-one ever really doubted his shot-stopping), he failed yet again when it came to a fairly standard cross into the box. Sounds like PIG made a mistake today but he is 100% better usually in this area of the game.

Every comment you make on the subject of keeping just emphasises how little you know about it.

Well Casper made a mistake against Arsenal
We 'shuffled the pack' last week didn't we
And a very poor observation at that.

True, but Hull don't have Oxlade Chamberlain, Walcott and Podolski to batter the f*** out of our defence!!! Let's be honest - last weeks outfit were different gravy to the sort of thing we have to deal with week in, week out.
Even if it was just for one game, I think we're fortunate in that right now we have a squad where, with few exceptions, no one is guaranteed a starting place (other than, quite rightly, Bridders, and obviously Gus's lovechild!!).

Ankergren shipped 3 goals in 5 matches last season, Kuszczak has shipped 3 goals, 4 times including today, so seems about evens to me.

The problem is he's had too many different defenders in front of him. Once a settled back four are together week after week, I think his confidence in the defence will reduce the number of mistakes and goals.

But Hull do have the ability to cross the ball and that is all you need to do with Casper because he can't catch a cold! P I G may have had a dodgy game but he is by far the best we have and it would do no good to anyone to drop him. Overall he has been fantastic this season.

Posted by someone who obviously has no idea about goal keeping!! What a flawed argument!
