stuartmonroe Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Despite many reservations, what is the general concensus on how he has done? Not a huge amount to do so far, and as far as I am concerned he has not really been responsible for any of the goals conceded. One great save of note so far.... Thoughts....

K-9 Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Done quite well. Still not convinced he is going to be good enough in long term but so far has done a decent job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mizer Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 I would go along with you K9, in saying he has done ok so far. However he was is quite flappy at crosses and for Millers 2nd on Sunday his positioning was off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dundee_red Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 Would agree with that. Can't blame him for any of the goals conceded so far, but needs to be more convincing when he does come for crosses. hopefully this will improve as his confidence grows.

walton Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 He fills me with fear every time he comes for a cross, but then so has every dons goalie for a long time now. he's just a bog standard spl goalie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheepheid Posted August 22, 2007 Share Posted August 22, 2007 he's just a bog standard spl goalie Unfortunately, so is Jamie Langfield (even though JC will try to say differently). I don't think we can expect anything better at pittodrie at the moment. If we finish 3rd again, get to a cup final and perhaps make the group stage of the Uefa cup, then maybe we can attract a better class of goal keeper.

Bobby Peru Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 have to say, he's done nothing wrong yet. which is a better record than clangers had by the same stage last season, so i'd say we're actually ahead of the game. hopefully he'll get better the more games he gets. proof will be in the pudding this weekend - suspect he'll have a little more to do....

mizer Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Aye I too feel that we may have our goal peppered this weekend from an attacking hibs team We wont see a class goalie playing for us unless we produce him through the youth system. We can’t compete financially with even lower league teams in England and they snap up all the decent players, we don’t have a look in.

Bobby Peru Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 that's true to a certain extent, but financial constraints haven't stopped falkirk (who i suspect have even fewer farthings rattling around the biscuit tin than we do) luring quality keepers like kasper schmeichel and tim krull north. these may well be loans, but they're better than we've got. and i'd take a year of someone good than an indefinite stretch of donkeys between the sticks.

Madbadteacher Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Who's to say that with a decent run in a top class team (aye, right I hear you say ) Soutar might not develop into a top class keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kaj Posted August 23, 2007 Share Posted August 23, 2007 Been impressed with Soutar's kicking - much better than Langfield's, although ideally the long punts would be interspersed with some more varied distribution. Re. youth goalies - anyone know how the younger keepers, kelly and stewart have been doing? I remember they were rated as good prospects a year or two ago. And are there any others coming through?

Drewsome Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 I am beginning to think Soutar is only marginally better (if at all) than Langfield. Both can go or both can stay but if this club wants to be perennially in Europe then a better investment need be sought. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
caledonia Posted August 26, 2007 Share Posted August 26, 2007 Done ok i suppose but still think we need an other keeper (and a other striker for that matter) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vanderark14 Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 Done ok i suppose but still think we need an other keeper (and a other striker for that matter) need another Keeper but dont agree with the striker part. Maguire Miller Mackie and Lovell are all capable of finding the net as long as they are played in a team with the correct tactics and formation. something that the almight calderwood seems incapable of doing this season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Peru Posted August 27, 2007 Share Posted August 27, 2007 defensive collapses cost us on saturday rather than soutar doing much wrong, although i think he went down too early for hibs' first goal. so far, though, i'd say he gives the defence a little more confidence than the bombscare jamie langfield. his distribution is certainly far better. i've so far resisted the comments about the loss of russell anderson costing us points, but it's becoming apparent that we need a calming influence in there. we really did go all to pot once zander went off on saturday.

Maguire Miller Mackie and Lovell are all capable of finding the net as long as they are played in a team with the correct tactics and formation. something that the almight calderwood seems incapable of doing this season Mackie i dont rate Lovell is not exactly bursting the net every week as an out and out striker should Miller has been a bit of a dissapointment since as far back as when he was playing for hearts Maguire maybe needs a regular run and another year or so.. Our problems over the last few seasons has always been putting the ball in the net basically what im saying is our strikers are nothing special..

SeeBass Posted August 28, 2007 Share Posted August 28, 2007 In January 2001 when Derek played for Brechin City in the Scottish Cup at Coldstream it was my report in the local rag that knocked Berwick Rangers Vs Cowdenbeath off the back page! My claim to fame! That day we lost 6-2 however the goals we got were shots fumbled by Soutar and in all honesty I`m sure he could have held both from our captain and my childhood pal. I still watch it on the video filmed by a local cameraman and cringe at his mistakes. Kick Ass SeeBass! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reekie_Red Posted August 29, 2007 Share Posted August 29, 2007 2001? Our captain? Wasn't our captain Derek Whyte back then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
