Kelvin looked really bad

He looked bad in the last game too. He is a half-second too slow reacting, nearly gives me a heart attack whenever the box is in the 6-yard box. Also he can't seem to hang on to the ball, nor punch it! There were at least 2-3 corners which Stoke could easily have scored had we not had a defender in the way, due to his crazy positioning on the corner

not really sure how you could say that about Boruc..not done a great deal wrong

 

I'm also confused about the reputation Boruc has got. Simply, it just seems to have stemmed from the altercation he had with our fans??? Because when he palyed, he didn't do much wrong.

 

Not sure why he doesn't play.

Davis is never going to make it as a Premier League goalkeeper, he was terrible at this level for Sunderland - Some of their fans even rate him as the worst keeper they've ever seen.

 

He hasn't been that great this season, beaten at his near post a number of times and is so slow to get down to shots.

Adkins biggest mistake was not subbing Kelvin when he got an injury. Already it was clear Davis was losing it and the injury would have been the diplomatic way to bring him off. Kalamity Kelvin lost us the 2 points together with the latest Adkins losing the plot substitutions. So so :(

Really poor on the 2nd goal. Should have saved it. Let stoke back in it. Agree let's see boruc for a run before the window opens.

 

How many games do you think we have before the window opens? I tell you , its NIL. Our next game is Arsenal on New years day. And unless I am mistaken doesnt his contract run out now?

Excellent,we must have scapegoat...

 

Guly must be pleased its not him

 

He wasn't to blame for the result, I don't even think he was at fault for the second. Its not about today, I just don't see him as a Prem keeper and never have. I just don't know if Nigel will want to change our first choice keeper yet again.

I'm not a big fan of Kelvin (as a keeper) but I'm not going to rag on him today.

 

There's a lot of people posting who have absolutely zero idea of what it's like to be a keeper when you have four big guys piling into your six-yard box trying to get on the end of a high ball, as well as a bunch of your own guys trying to get back there as well.

 

Stoke are excellent deliverers, whether it's by foot or throw, and they're great at hitting the "soft spot" between the keeper and the back four.

 

Yes, we need a quality keeper but let's not just keep whacking Davis just because he's an easy target for abuse.

Can't see why anyone thinks he's better than Gazzaniga.

 

you must have the shortest memory in the history of football. Gazza lost his confidence completely after some terrible performances and in the end was a complete liability. He was a busted flush. The Norwich game is right up there with Ian Andrews at QPR as one of the worst displays I have ever seen from a Saints keeper. Thank god NA dropped him.

 

Davis struggled to deal with Stoke's giants. Check out their goals over the last few seasons and see how keepers struggled in exactly the same way.

Agree with what you say about Gazza. But with Davis, it isn't just about today. I can't make a judgement on Boruc, but the fact that he hasn't claimed the jersey speaks volumes.

 

Our keepers have been a liability this season. We need to sign someone soon, otherwise they'll continue to cost us points.

Odd to want a 4th keeper when we signed one most didn't think we had a hope of getting and he hasn't had a run in the team yet.

 

If Boruc isn't being given another go now despite the poor performances of Davis/Gazzaniga and the numerous goals their mistakes have cost us, you have to wonder if the club has any intention of using him again.

Just watched the highlights on the ESPN app, shocker for their second. The goalkeeping situation is going to cost us our prem status if it hasn't already !

 

Sorry that just isn't true,. He was blinded for the second and it went through someone's legs. Many a keeper would let that in - and those that didn't would have just got lucky.

 

I don't think he's the best keeper in the Premiership and agree he doesn't control his box well, but many a team has struggled against the strength of Stoke up front - that's what they're good at.

Kelvin had 2 jobs today, make easy saves and control the tempo through his distribution.

 

He did neither. Even Gazza could sodding well take his time properly over a kick and put it to the right player (bar that Swansea moment).

 

Our weakest player today was Kelvin because does not do what any good keeper has to do and command the team around him.

 

Thankfully that is the last game out the way before we can get someone new in (if we are not going to wack Boruc or Gazza back in) as this is the one area we can't seem to train anyone out of the problem.
