15 games in and 6th in league 1.
Addai started 14 and Ben 1.

After beating Bolton part of a thread was about Ben sorting out the defence despite Bolton not having a shot on target.
Not 1 of those give addai any credit for his clean sheets despite having a different team to play behind each week

How many of the Addai clean sheet games came after a 5 goal defeat?
That might indicate how much sorting out was required?

You could just explain goalkeepers though.

They need to have many attributes, all of which could be marked out of 10.

Shot-stopping.
Catching crosses.
Punching crosses.
Parrying the ball out of danger areas.
One on ones.
Penalty saving.
Dead ball kicking.
Dealing with back passes.
Lumping the ball forward.
Communication with defenders.
Rolling the ball under your studs whilst thinking about what to do.
And many more.

I'm sure that Hinchliffe would be judged higher than Addai on a few of those and vice versa.

Also, adding the scores up doesn't necessarily mean that the one with the highest score is the better goalkeeper.

It's a complex job and I'm glad that we've got two decent goalkeepers to choose from.

I'm also glad it's not my decision. 🤣

*Going down for fake injuries when your manager needs an in-game team tactics talk.
*Pretending you don’t know where the ball is in order to waste time when its a dead ball kick.
*Smothering the ball against weak shots, making it look like an extermely powerful shot.
*Being able to read scribbles on the side of drinks bottles for penalty shoot outs.

For a big fella seems almost frightened to claim crosses in the 6 yard box, maybe Bens biggest weakness also but Ben seeems to prefer punching the ball clear.

Re: Please explain

We've had 6 clean sheets this season. The opposition didn't have a shot on target in three of them. (Blackpool, Shrewsbury, Bolton).

Credit to every player that took part in those games.

Hope this helps.

As I pointed out in that thread, you've previously praised Jaros for keeping a clean sheet when the opposition didn't have a shot on target.

What did Jaros do in that game to deserve your praise that Ben didn't do on Saturday?

Please reply.

I think Addai just needs to work on a few things such as communication with his defence which is a huge part of being a goalkeeper. He’s a good shot stopper and is great with his feet. Some of the goals we have conceded has been down to tactics/instructions I feel. Play out from the back not at the back seems to be the new message. It will do Addai some good out of the limelight he’ll be our number one in the future but the shirt definitely belongs to Ben at the moment. The communication from Ben to the defence was great on Saturday. This prevented goal scoring opportunities for Bolton. He commanded his area superbly.

But yes credit to Addai for his clean sheets.

Gives me the jitters every time he has the ball at his feet.
And when he slows play down IMO strolling from his box with the ball it stops any momentum and allows the opposition to get into position.
He has been good when he went route one resulting in two goals for Barry.

When Addai was playing earlier in the season it was as though the only tactic was to hold on to the ball no matter where we were.

Last Saturday that had changed completely and we returned to our tactic of hunting the opposition down and pressing. We still passed it around a little bit at the back but thankfully not too much in our own box. I'm not sure you can blame Addai for the previous tactics.

Thankfully our fourth goal last Saturday showed that players at this level shouldn't be fannying around in their own box, when Barry pounced on a week pass and fired it home

Re: Please explain

It wasn't a weak pass as he hadn't played a pass yet, the player tried to turn on the ball and didn't know Barry was there.

The fact is we have 2 good keepers. At present, of the two, I trust Ben the most and he deserves to keep his place ( good handling from crosses, safe clearances and kicking and Corey’s confidence may be knocked after the mauling by Wycombe).
Ben looked as though he wanted to play out from the back when he could, but Bolton mainly prevented it, so he cleared it quickly upfield.
Corey has been playing it out from the back more often, sometimes even when it appears dodgy to the crowd.
What we don’t know is whether he was told to do this or whether it is his choice.
I his post-match interview DC denied there had been a change of tactics, but why would he give the game away if he has. Keep the opposition guessing.
Hope Corey plays a blinder tonight v Tranmere

Re: Please explain

Charley did say he went for more experience in the team against Bolton due to full house and the previous game

Re: Please explain

Thanks Reckless. Now I can’t get that Charley says rave song out of me head
