Thread: Etheridge is improving?

  1. #1

    Etheridge is improving?

    Like most keepers he is prone to the odd moment of madness and his kicking is sometimes wayward.
    And earlier this season he was beaten in one to one situations twice by headers.
    But his shot stopping is good, he has a good presence and is confident.

    I'm not sure what Lee Camp could offer that is better and so I'd stick with NE. With more first team football I believe he will become even better.

    Free transfer bargain, as good as anyone we've had since Marshall.

    He has a couple of calamity moments but he seems to be getting better.

    We wouldn't have said "improving" if they had equalised from the last minute corner that he gave away for no reason

    Agree with all if the above ,he's improved, he makes odd mistakes ,which keeper doesn't?? I remember Marshall not being perfect in coming off his line and distributing poorly .

    I first thought get Camp in asap, however I now think ,
    he's developing quickly, with every game, he knows the team ,he has great spirit and commitment ,comes off the line with pace ,something Marshall lacked, hes a good shot stopper .

    Let's keep him there ,we got this far with him .

    Least goals conceded in the Championship, let's drop him

    Re: Etheridge is improving?

    A few posters have commented, especially earlier in the season, about the fact he doesn't command the area, something Marshall was often criticised for. I totally disagree, as well as being a good shot stopper I think that he's noticeably better coming out for crosses and corners as any recent keeper we've had.

    Has anyone said that about him not commanding his area? He definately likes to come out for a cross. Sometimes (QPR) he gets it wrong but he likes to come off his line.

    Wolves are bigger than Badgers

    I suppose any improvement should be credited to the work he's doing with Andy Dibble.

    Warnock said Camp is still some way off being ready for first team consideration last week.

    Was he a Warnock signing ? Where did we get him from ?

    I wouldn't go that far, yet. But according to the club's site, he's had five clean sheets, 70% save rate and we've conceded less goals than any other side in the Championship. Hard to argue with the stats

    His kicking is crap and led to the goal against bham.

    He's ok and that's about it for me. I'd keep him ahead of camp but he's nowhere near the level Marshall was at.

    His kicking is far better than Marshall’s

    So that goal was nothing to do with the defence parting like the red sea then ?. You pick on an isolated mistake in a match where he generally played very well and indicate the loss is all his fault. All outfield players also give the ball away at some point during a game but usually no mention is made of it afterwards. He's definately better than Marshall was at the same stage of his career and deserves to keep his place.

    He's in the "Times" Championship Team of the Week today. Only City player in it.
