Ryan Allsop

Re: Ryan Allsop

Allsopp bit of twat. Made 2 good saves but no need to rush out like that.

His abilities as a shot stopper have been rubbished on here over the past week - with some justification. But I thought he did well today - very well - until the rush of blood on 91 minutes.

Yes he did. The irony now is he misses the next one. Before today I would have said that’s a bonus but he had a great game before the last fiasco.

Really don't understand the criticism he's been getting on here. I think he's a perfectly see decent goalkeeper at this level. We've definitely been spoiled for high quality goalies at Cardiff in most of my time as a fan, and I'm 43. But he's not the reason we've ended up where we are this season.

Re: Ryan Allsop

NG has a better record, one appearance, and one clean sheet, he could have played in goals against Reading and Birmingham too as we didn't need a keeper for those games.

He was OK today before the sending off which was stupid, the two saves were standard first-division keeper-type saves, the first one just run out the second looked better but why did he leave a gap in the wall?

He did a job and will be gone by next season, Sabri doesn't want him, I'm not sure how good Alnwick is but we'll soon find out, he won't have to be that good to retain the shirt.

How do you explain the manager picking Alsop every week and leaving Alnwick on the bench then ?

Re: Ryan Allsop

I missed this in the week and as one of Allsop's biggest critics I thought I'd check out our goal conceded so far.

I'd say he should have done better with:

* Away v Middlesboro's first goal up there, beaten on his near post, fortunately if didn't cost us the win.
* Home V Hull, their second goal, daisy cutter from distance, arguably cost us the match
* Home v Sheffield United, beaten on his near post, cost us a point
* Home v Millwall, tame shot through his legs, Kipre equally culpable.
* Away V Norwich, their first goal, daisy cutter from distance went under his arm.

I defended him after the Norwich game, but Lord knows what he was doing today.

There have been reports that he's looking at his old keeper Forrest their third keeper apparently, so he can't rate Allsop.

I don't rate Allsop and haven't really seen much of Alnwick, but my final comment was he won't have to be amazing to turn out better than Allsop and keep the shirt, not saying he definitely will keep it because he is currently Sabri's number two, but that could just be that he doesn't like to change a keeper and unsettle a defence keeper partnership?

Allsop made a bad mistake the other week with an air shot, and let in a few week shots and today getting sent off, I think Sabri will be having some doubts, we will soon see at Preston if Alwnwick can take his chance and become Sabris number one.

Re: Ryan Allsop

Rushed out unnecessarily for the sending off. Recall he was a bit headstrong earlier in game. Made couple of good saves. Like the guy. Good presence at the back normally. Even if suspect at shots from outside box.
We'll soon see if this Alnwick guy is any good.

If Lamouchi stays I’m almost certain he will bring in a new keeper, Allsop just doesn’t save enough. However I don’t think he’s as bad as people make out either.

4 teams have conceded less than we have and we’re slagging off the goalie….

I agree, he isn’t the issue on why we have struggled.

The commentator did say today he had one of the lowest something or another stats to do with shots being saved. Our keeper was on minus something and was almost the worse of 40 something keepers used in the championship. The stats concluded he should have saved 8 goals. Make it it what you will.

I don’t think he’s that bad, I think we could get better.

Re: Ryan Allsop

Obviously it's not ideal to have your first choice keeper missing at this stage of the season but I am happy Alnwick will get a chance. Allsop hasn't really done anything that bad that warrants him being dropped but I can't help feeling some of the goals we've conceded he might have better on. Every cloud.

Re: Ryan Allsop

He's been due a clanger, so if he's got his out of the way in injury time at 2-0 up, I'll take it

Would you drop a defender for giving up easy chances when it happens numerous times? A lot of people call for defenders to get dropped. Why can't people want the same for a keeper letting in shots he should save? Or not commanding his area? People would be fuming if crosses came in a mad a defender didn't deal with it convincingly,same should go for the keeper.
