    To be honest it should be 4 - 1 at least.
    Etheridge isn't even a good keeper at League 1 level. I think we have a strong first 11, a few good backups but beyond that we lack quality.

    We'll flirt with the playoffs.

    Re: FT: Shrewsbury 2 - 1 Cardiff

    My 1st away game since Oxford in a pre season friendly a few years back.
    Left with 10 minutes to go. Played well 1st half but second half they were all over us and should have scored 5.
    Our Keeper was dodgy, kept kicking it out into touch from goal kicks.
    He did make one world class save though.

    Distribution from the 'keeper is one of the more important aspects of the game these days. Etheridge's kicking has never been good.

    Leave it there Pep, it's not that important at this level, especially if you're a Neil Warnock team who don't play it out from the back.
    Marshalls distribution was one of the poorest parts of game and he's been one of the best keepers in this division over several years.

    Like Marshall then

    Same as Marshall, his kicking was woeful too.

    Etheridge's distribution is worse than Marshall's. Distribution from the 'keeper is important, even more so if you are not playing it from the back. Unless you think it makes sense to have the ball coming back at you from every goal kick.

    If Etheridge was Scottish, undoubtedly he would be getting just as many caps as Marshall. Etheridge is nothing like Marshall, hopefully Camp will be available before we have to find out.

    Yes because he's such a **** that every goal kick he would take would land to the opposition or into touch Unless Glenn Hoddle has become a goal keeper in later life I dont think there's a keeper in the world, let alone the championship, who can accurately ping goal kicks 60/70 yards to a team mate. Going high and long from a goal kick always has, and always will be, a 50-50.

    Ifs, ifs, ifs. If your auntie had a cock she would be your uncle.

    Besides its not like Marshall has got loads of caps for Scotland.

    Etheridge has twice as many international caps for his country.

    I don't think anyone is saying he's as good as Marshall just tearing apart the importance you're placing on keeper distribution at this level.

    Isn't distribution more important if you play it out from the back?

    A 'keeper distributing the ball from the back usually only has to roll the ball a couple of feet to a nearby team mate, so no great skill needed there - finding a team mate with a 50 yard up-field kick involves a greater degree of difficulty, surely?

    The stats show that goalkeepers kicking it long results on average in more shots conceded and less shots taken than rolling it out. Which is why more and more sides play it out from the back these days.
    Most of the data is available from top leagues though, I don't know how the payoff differs as you drop down the leagues and player quality drops.

    For throw ins however, a long throw is statistically better than a short throw, even in terms of shots faced following the action.

    You can't roll the ball out from a goal kick?

    Gurnam Singh would probably allow it.
