The disallowed goal you’re referring to, was ruled out for a foul on the keeper ( ie Flekken)
I take it you’ve never seen Strakosha actually play?
I think its called "Fosu syndrome" - if somebody never plays, they become some sort of fabled saviour
He's 30 years old? Surely his PE teacher covered that?
To be fair I can think of worse ideas than giving him another try. He could be chomping at the bit to prove a point and turn out to be a fabled saviour. Who knows? If not, so be it.
I do, what message does it send out to Flekken if we bin him after 6 games?
I think his distribution is rubbish. But yes, maybe that will improve with time, understanding and building a relationship with his defence. Or maybe I've just been spoilt by that bloke who sits at the front of the West Stand at The Emirates. ?
That we're giving you a break because you appear to be unable to catch a football and we really can't spare the points at the moment?
Which would destroy the blokes confidence (which he doesnt seem to have a problem with at the moment) and he would have to be selected again 2 games later when Strakosha was inevitably injured, just minus any confidence he had.
Was it that bad a day? Fouled for a disallowed goal, gave away a non penalty. What else was there?
Didn't think so myself but we are a bit obsessed with goalkeepers punching instead of catching crosses....
That really bad save from Guimaraes earlier, if was awful.
Ridiculous post.I think his distribution is rubbish. But yes, maybe that will improve with time, understanding and building a relationship with his defence. Or maybe I've just been spoilt by that bloke who sits at the front of the West Stand at The Emirates. ?
It was possibly the most bizarre piece of play from a Brentford player i've seen since Jake Bidwell took a free kick against Hull away a few years ago directly in front of the Hull penalty area and managed to slice the ball so badly into the side line it almost ended up behind him, also if Flekken insists on punching the ball instead of doing the obvious and catching it or letting it run out of play, please punch it like Larry holmes and not Larry Grayson.
In the long term he will have packed up, and be retired somewhere!
In the League, yes. But his pre-season performances were worse.
I'm convinced that he was told to go easy on the US pitches.
I don't particularly but was just pointing it out to Rob-BEE.
Nope
He made one good save but was poor in the second half.He made a very half hearted punch when it was easier to catch .Was extremely weak on the disallowed goal and then have away a needless pen when admitedly
A punch when he should have caught it. A couple of poor clearances. No, it wasn’t a pen but he (and Hickey’s poor touch) gave the ref a decision to make.
It was a poor goal keeping performance. Even his distribution was all over the place.
Honestly they can't help it can they. Getting kicks from giving our players grief 5 games in. Great support from some of them.
I agree with this punched where he should of caught the ball and looked suspect from crosses.
If I was Sean Dyche I would be planning on bombarding him at every opportunity.
I don’t think there will be any planning needed - that’s standard Dyche football!!
Clearly, some on here aren't, which is ludicrous after so few games and some excellent distribution and saves so far. Building up his confidence and understanding with our defence is bound to take time.
There was one in the second half , saw clearly that the ball was going out for a goal kick , he punched , but did he have a call from the defence to leave it.
Perhap, perhaps not. If he grew up in the Netherlands there may have been a different emphasis on how to play for example, 'don't catch it, punch it'. Regardless of what was 'covered', I'd expect BFC staff to act on what they assess rather than leaving someone to their own devices.
