Apart from stopping a definite goal when called upon
Very good yesterday especially the back to back saves stretching every sinew
There are very few keepers who don't commit a blunder or two.
My concerns are his kicking but more that in two one on ones against a striker competing for a cross we conceded two goals.
Whilst there has been some criticism I don't agree that he is enemy number one and am not sure that Camp will be any better.
Better than Marshall ;)
I wouldn't boo him or hope he is dropped as keepers need time
But saying he is an accident waiting to happen isnt that bad....given he has had a number of accidents
He done a good job so far but his distribution needs to be addressed. Why kick aimless balls up to Zohore who heads the ball to no one. Against 10 men you should play short balls to the defence and then work the wings to tire out the opposition, once we did that we finshed the game comfortably.
Yeah, like he did at the weekend. Straight to KZ, who heads on to NML for the third man running to volley into the net. His is kicking has improved and last night it was much better throughout. 3 goals conceded at home in 5 games. Top of the league, but let's have a go at our keeper.
Yes he has set up goals with a long kick but its about when to kick long and when to keep it short to allow your forwards to catch a breathe especially when an opponents defence is strong in the air. Something for manager and coaches to address.
As far as I'm concerned Etheridge has had a excellent start to his city career and should keep the shirt when Camp is fit.
To be fair the players are under instruction from the manager and coaching staff what they are to do with it.
We are not the sort of side that rolls it to the full back and play it out from the back.
There was a stat night which said we were 24th in the division for passes made, passing accuracy and posession, but 1st in the division for passes into the final third.
Warnock likes his goalkeeper and defence to get the ball forward to the front 3 quickly, if we keep posession great, if not then we try and win the 2nd ball high up the pitch and work from there.
Fair point. However, when he has to kick long it's hardly his problem that the weakest point of KZ game is his heading. Because of his growing reputation KZ often gets tightly marked now. I guess that's why our goalkeeper aims for ML quite often as he is normally a lot taller than his marker. The downside of that is if ML is hugging the touchline, his kicks can go out of play as was the case earlier in the season.Lastnight however I felt his distribution was much improved.
Morrison
Bamba
Bennett
Ralls
Gunnarson
hoilett
NML
Zohore
Any of those are strong contenders imo. Which is fantastic for us!
Etheridge is doing a fine job and won't lose his place if he keeps this up. He does make me nervous from time to time, but I'm trusting him more every game.
My memory may be playing tricks on me, but when he first joined us, I'm pretty sure Marshall was subjected to some stick on here. I seem to recall one member calling himself "Marshall's flapping hand" or something like that
At the end of the day you won’t get an infallible keeper in the champ. Even a lot of the premiership keepers are crap!
You cant really complain. Pick a player up on a free to be presumably a number 2 keeper. He has done well, to the point we could argue he holds the number 1 spot on merit.
Most players will make mistakes, and keepers mistakes will usually lead to a goal. I would say at this point Etheridge has been a shrewd and good signing. Ideally Camp will push him to improve and have competition between the 2 players.
The first rule of Ignore Club is to make sure you tell the person that you've got them on ignore.
Correct
I agree
Surely a bait thread.
However I will concede that the double save he pulled off last night was pure class.
If you think I rejoiced at it you are very much mistaken.
Also, if you think I've been slagging him off, simply becausi raised an observation about his kicking under pressure, then it's clear that nobody must ever be allowed to mention something that is worrying.
You are sarcastically rejoicing on that thread as soon as he had the mare against Preston. You couldn’t wait to bump a 3 day old thread.
Rejoicing? Get a fcking grip.
Thought he did very well last night.
He's extremely athletic and also very quick to recover and quick off his line.
His kicking and throwing were spot on last night.
I think he's growing in confidence and may we'll develop into a very good keeper.
Double stop last night was superb
Looking at the video, I think the second one in his double save was going wide - not that this makes any difference to the quality of the save.
Etheridge was under pressure after his antics at Preston and I reckon he may have been dropped if Camp was fit, but he's played three games since then and not let anyone down at all - that's all he could have done after Preston and the goal he cost us against QPR.
Absolutely spot on.
good signing
