Mildy will be a weak link this year!

[wiggy]

Started off poor as expected without Dorian's protection. Poor positionally, lacks conviction and bottle and very slow getting down. Joyce probably not much better but already the cracks in his game are showing and fancy we would have a few more points already with a proper keeper. Slag me off all you like but are you seriously happy with him between the sticks?

 

[Gremlin]

Yes thanks. Next?

 

[Andy_S]

We'd be top, would've won every game and wouldn't have conceded a single goal yet if Darryl was still here.

No need to be silly, are you happy with the poser?

Most definitely. Have you actually paid attention to some of the keepers in this league? We could be watching David Forde, Ben Williams or Steve Phillips every week. Think yourself bloody lucky.

Anyway, poser? Surely that's a very accurate description of one Mr D Flahavan?

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaawn

Still one of the best L1 keepers. Probably not CCC level but as good as we'll get.

I think Mildenhall is a confidence player and, at the moment, I don't think he looks confident and I think that is feeding into his performances. I think he is a good goalkeeper but, considering his height, I don't think he is as commanding as he should be.

Rather have a 2009 Royce and he can't get a game!

First half of the season last year i thought he was terrible. Second half of the season he looked better, but granted with DD and PC in front of him i guess he was more confident.
I think he is too indecisive at times, but this could be again down to confidence.

I think he's a very average keeper for this level and will cost us points at some stage during the season. However i do think he is capable of pulling off a decent save that will gain us points during the season.

Side note - I do feel sorry for you Wiggy. You ask a legitimate question and too many comedians are quick to shoot you down

He certainly cost us a place in the third round of the League Cup.

So theres a surprise - the first game of the season we have lost and Wiggy pops up on here!!!

I'm used to it Grays. It takes most of the rose tinted mob on here at least 5 months to see what people with a football brain see in 3 weeks as with the Sankofa/Francis argument, where are they now? Mildy is not a good keeper for his size and his lack of commitment and agility is worrying but theyv'e all got there wish with a tall bloke that can't get down, laughable!

...who replaced a short bloke who couldn't get up for corners.

Look, neither Flavs nor Mildy is (a) perfect; or (b) as good as Sammy or Roycie. We should always be looking to improve every aspect of the squad, including the keeper.

Mildy has his flaws, but on balance, he's a better-than-average L1 keeper. He'll do for now. And, given he does seem to be a bit of a confidence player, how about we all get behind him?!

wiggy is the author of her own misfortune. If she ever came on here to praise, or after a win, then people wouldn't be quite so ready to shoot her down.

The fact is that she only ever comes on here to criticise. And, like the little boy who cried "wolf" all the time, people eventually get sick of it.

Hey ho.

Who mentioned Flavs? Can't think of one thing Mildenhall is strong on so when his confidence dips which is quite often how about giving the very patient Joyce a go?

Is he any good, though?

What a predictable thread. Yes wiggy I'm quite content with Mildy, clearly you're not....what a surprise! :D

 

[McNasty]

Bring back Flahavan.
