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.

Re: Etheridge is improving?
He has a couple of calamity moments but he seems to be getting better.

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

Re: Etheridge is improving?
Best goalie in the Championship.

Re: Etheridge is improving?
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 :hehe:

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.

Re: Etheridge is improving?
I suppose any improvement should be credited to the work he's doing with Andy Dibble.

Re: Etheridge is improving?
Warnock said Camp is still some way off being ready for first team consideration last week.

Re: Etheridge is improving?
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

Re: Etheridge is improving?
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.

His kicking is one area where I rate him highly. Perhaps it just goes to show how low the bar has been set with our recent Keepers.

Our midfield were all ahead of play and because he's kicked it like a clown they're 10 yards back. Morrison and Peltier could've done better but it all led from that. Hardly picking out an isolated mistake when it's a mistake that's led to the only goal of the game.
I was up at Preston and his kicking was atrocious there as well, led to a goal. Along with getting beat on his side for the first goal.
He's bang average. We win games despite him, not because of him.

He's even further away from consideration now after getting injured in the warm up before last night's U23 game! Replaced before kick off.

So he's had 1 bad game out of 13 (Preston) and you write him off, even though in the other 12 he has been excellent and we are second in the table with the lowest amount of goals conceded. In the rest of the Birmingham game he made three or four excellent saves and the reason we lost was because our defence and midfield didnt turn up and we didn't create any chances. On your basis, the rest of the squad must all be 'bang average' as well because every one of them has had more than one 'off day' and given the ball away on many occasions in each match. The evidence would however indicate otherwise - look at the table and statistics.

One?
Preston - Dreadful
Bham - His mistake led to the only goal of the game
QPR home - cost us a goal
So only costing us the one goal every four games :hehe:
I read a few weeks ago we've conceded the least amount of shots out of any club in the championship. I think he's well protected by our defence. He's fine - especially on a free - but will cost us a fair few goals throughout the course of the season.

It wasn't a very good pass back to him from Bamba who was dreadful in the Bham game. It was cleared out wide towards Peltier which he was instructed to do. Peltier got caught flat footed and Morrison should have done better. Very hard to criticise Etheridge for that.
Yes he was dreadful at Preston but I believe he deserves our support as he's better more often than not

Agreed on supporting them, Always do during the game! Like I said I don't think he's a bad keeper. If we were going to strengthen in Jan other places are definitely more of a priority, was just stating I think he's pretty average.

Innit. Pulled off some cracking saves as part of a tight defensive unit and someone whines about his kicking! I recall Guardiola brought in a keeper supposedly an amazing ball player, that worked out well...
