NewBlue Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 It might be an appalling shot conversion ratio. It's not appalling finishing tho. If theyre hitting the post it's almost excellent finishing. There will be :censored:ter players out there scuffing them in and looking (on paper) like better players. That's the fine line a striker treads, players like Erwin suffer for being better as they are trying to be more deliberate. I get that some of don't really get this, possibly through not actually ever really playing Football. I also get the point that we are suffering for it too and that 'Football is a results business' et cetera. I'm just a more patient person with a finer eye for detail, sorry if that frustrates you into sarcasm. Also, sorry that I love sarcasm. What about the majority of shots which don't hit the post nor do they go in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer1 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Sense being spoken right here everybody!! It might be an appalling shot saving ratio. It's not appalling goalkeeping tho. If the keeper gets a touch theyre almost excellent saves. right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmer1 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Isn't it because he's bought that patience by being generally excellent in the previous 10 games? Something Cornell never did! Thats exactly what is it and its good to see but if how long does it last if he keeps making errors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmer1 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Have you seen our other keeper? Nope but ive been made well aware, Its one of the reasons Cornell got such a hard time. Coleman was a fan fave Ether competition in the squad is up to it or it isnt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Maybe we play better when the teams together the night before a fixture (I'm presuming we still go down to these away fixtures the day before) as opposed to rocking up at BP a couple of hours before kick off. Or maybe we could switch the away and home kits and play at home in white? I prefer that kit anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opinions4u Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Are people actually having a pop at Ripley? More assessing his all round game. He's very good. But clearly at fault v MK and Gillingham when we've conceded. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deyres42 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Are people actually having a pop at Ripley? Well they can't have a pop at the manager this week so someone has to cop it. Yes, I'm that guy moaning at the moaners. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

palmer1 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Are people actually having a pop at Ripley? Don't think so... Nobody has called for him to be dropped or slagged him off, however mistakes can't be constantly ignored. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 Don't think so... Nobody has called for him to be dropped or slagged him off, however mistakes can't be constantly ignored.

palmer1 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 (edited) I don't find it necessary to constantly ignore something that doesn't happen very oftenLast 3 league games... Judging off the standards that Coleman & the other fella were judged by OWTBs last season. Someone post the list of players that are above criticism please & then we don't have upset anybody.

No reason to wish the same on Ripley, especially as he is a somewhat better player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yarddog73 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 It appears your the only one concerned though, you can't even put Ripley and Cornell in the same bracket they are world's apart on ability, Ripleys made some stunning saves and kept us in games where we should of been dead and buried, I can't even remember a game where Cornell played well.

He's well in credit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's well in credit. I think thats a bit OTT, nobody is asking for a countdown. Don't forget the massive cick up at Preston which is the worst mistake from a keeper in good few years. Lucky it was the cup. I personally consider 4 keeper errors since the beginning of the season not very good. Having said that I agree with everyone else he has been fantastic at other times.

palmer1 Posted October 10, 2016 Share Posted October 10, 2016 What about when Cornell jumped under the ball to let Worrall score with a header He misjudged a cross as did Ripley in Saturday Sorry but its not worse than being caught in possession then tackled outside the box before running away leaving the player free to pass and an open goal.

Why? They both cost a goal. Point is if keeper makes a mistake and a goal comes from it then one isn't worse than another because they both have the same outcome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
