Crab Lungs Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 You are wrong... very wrong. There is a large gulf in quality. Davis wouldn't be first choice keeper for any current Premier League side, he is Championship level in quality. A great servant to the club and was outstanding during our rise to the Premier League, but he is out of his depth at this level. That's your opinion, not a fact. No. Remind us what a "mess we're in" again won't you, you grizzling little ponce.
Window Cleaner Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 So does anyone know if we have the ability to recall him?? I really really doubt it.
Matthew Le God Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 That's your opinion, not a fact. I didn't say otherwise, but I do find it hard to believe someone can think the quality difference between Davis and Forster is close and have to wonder what they are watching. Which Premier League teams do you think would want Davis as their first choice keeper?
Faz Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 I love KD, but we will concede at least one comedy goal with him there. Fact.
cellone Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 I love KD, but we will concede at least one comedy goal with him there. Fact. So would Boruc
Sour Mash Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 1) Can we? 2) Should we? 3) Will we? For me 1 = Don't know 2 = Yes 3 = Doubtful Yes, no, no. No-way its going to happen.

Which Premier League teams do you think would want Davis as their first choice keeper? For what it's worth I agree with you.... None, most likely. In fact, I'd go as far to say almost the entire league has better options as first, second and third choice when it comes to goalkeepers. For example, I'd much rather have Schmechel and Hamer, Fabianski and Tremmel or Adrian and Jaaskelainen then our two or three. We did have one of the best in the division at one point.... Shame we had to p1ss him off. All down to KD now, good luck Kelvin.

Andy Durman Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 Have to say I didn't see that coming. Standard clearance and it achieved a shoulder and knee injury?
ringwood Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 its not Kelvin we need to worry about, its who is sitting on the bench if he's unavailable, Kelvin has experience on his side plus the best Saints team for years ahead of him , but he also has had injuries this season if he gets a knock then its Gazza or Cropper and that inexperience will be a real test for the players ahead of the keeper in decision making and trusting a rookie
Sour Mash Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 I'm worried about Davis. Will be interesting to see how the club play this. Hardest position to recruit for is 2nd choice keeper, but the Koemans and Watson should know what they're doing in this regard.
Saint Charlie Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 Boruc cannot be recalled. The only way the Club can play it is to play Davis and hope he plays well. The Club have known all season that our backup to Forster is lacking so presumably they feel Davis is an adequate PL keeper. Hopefully he does a good job as he is a cracking guy and a Saints stalwart...but he has not done well in the PL over a few years. Its not the shot stopping that lets him down...
cellone Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 It was thought FF was riding on the back of the success of the defence 3 weeks ago.

Hardest position to recruit for is 2nd choice keeper, but the Koemans and Watson should know what they're doing in this regard. How can they play it? We have two fit keepers so I doubt we are allowed an emergency loan. Kelvin will be number one for the rest of the season. Come the summer I'm sure they will work on getting another keeper but till then maybe everyone should just back Kelvin.
Saint_Ash Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 It was thought FF was riding on the back of the success of the defence 3 weeks ago. Doesn't matter who's in goal then surely? This will prove how much we miss forster and how much the defence plus Vic and Morgan help with clean sheets.
SNSUN Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 Put Watson in. He was a decent keeper for me on Championship Manager '97 back in the day.

He gets great support, so no problem there.
Colinjb Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 Rather a loyal servant who would bleed for us then a mercenary. We are in no danger, worst case scenario is we miss out on Europa League football. Should that be the case it will not be solely due to a goalkeeper. Welcome back into the fold Kelvin Davis.

Whitey Grandad Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 Have to say I didn't see that coming. Standard clearance and it achieved a shoulder and knee injury? He was caught awkwardly by Vokes, according to my daughter. We shall have to see MOTD later.
CB Fry Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 We did have one of the best in the division at one point.... Shame we had to p1ss him off. Did howwible old Les Reed not return Artur's phone calls either? Waaaaaaaaah.
Batman Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 if boruc was one of the best in the league, he would NOT be playing championship football right now
Pancake Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 He was caught awkwardly by Vokes, according to my daughter. We shall have to see MOTD later. Not how I saw it. He landed on his knee before Vokes got there and there was minimal contact.
Dark Munster Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 If he's forced to play again for us, expect to see a lot of these "accidents".
doddisalegend Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 If he's forced to play again for us, expect to see a lot of these "accidents". Still makes me every time I see it......
Pat from Poole Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 We have a top-notch back 4 and centre-midfield which have protected Forster all season. If they're on their game, they'll ensure we don't miss Forster too much. That said, I'd have preferred it if we could have got Boruc back.
lloydie Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 So if Kelvin plays against Everton, he will become our oldest ever player. (Behind Grobbelar by 12 days currently)
LGTL Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 For what it's worth I agree with you.... None, most likely.

Crab Lungs Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 After your embarrassment in the summer you certainly have a nerve! I'd still be in hiding. embarrassment? It's an internet forum. Literally the only people on here who get their knickers in a twist over other people having differing opinions are those who constantly snipe on the sidelines. No biggie if what I said in the summer didn't happen... I'm fact, I'm delighted it didn't. No biggie if I don't think Forster isn't a very good goalkeeper, I'm not alone in that school of thought either. But instead of accepting someone's opinion, there are those on here who would rather rile, mock and snipe from behind their computers. Good luck to them I say. Seriously, the people on here sometimes...

Crab Lungs Posted 21 March, 2015 Posted 21 March, 2015 Thank you, Whitey. I'm a bit bemused that people just can't seem to let go of certain things about posters and for want of a better term, incessantly bully them on here. Being of, er, less sensitive stock it doesn't bother me as much as it does amuse me.... Though it's very said that people find the need to do it... A gap in their real lives perhaps? I'm desperately delighted what I said didn't to go any further in the summer and pleasantly astonished by the way the club have performed. Despite this, I shouldn't have to beg for the rights to have an opinion on the team, the club, it's fans and it's players from anyone, neither should someone's opinion be denounced because of one or two posts on an internet forum. Anyway... Back to the topic, perhaps? I'm game to debate...
St Chalet Posted 21 March, 2015 Author Posted 21 March, 2015 Guys, there is another thread running on goalkeeper situation. The summer was a long time ago, people had views etc. #WeMoveOn
