A pre requisite for goalkeepers as I said earlier is that they need to have presence and command their area. It's why you never see a small top class goalie. Even if you can spring 6 foot in the air and dive left and right to stop shots it doesn't make you a good keeper. If you have 3 defenders in front you scream and knock them out of the way if it's in the 6 yard box as you've got a 3 foot reach advantage.

Well yeh I would agree with that, but it would have been nice if one of the three had jumped, moved or even twitched a muscle when that ball came in instead of standing there gawping as it sailed by them within easy clearable distance.
Small top class goalie: Barthez. He's a clown, but still pretty good. One-off though ;)
I just wish Brown would talk more and was quicker off his line.

Possibly also Shay Given who is a good but relatively small keeper, but the point is well made.

A good GK must command his area and also have excellent communication with his back 4. We have lacked in that area for a number of years and ironically Abbey was probably the best overall. SN could make the occasional good save, and was certainly trying to be more vocal/directional in his last season here, but his communication with Sodje & Turner was a significant problem in the preceding seasons.

Reina appears to be a midget as well, although i've only ever seen him on the telly.

This report seems to value him.

If those ratings were for the Luton game, they seem ridiculously high. The valuation might be right though, as keepers generally reach their peak later... he'll probably slip down to non-League, but there is a chance he may regain form and make a decent career, and I think he's the most likely of our players to command a fee at some stage; I really can't see anyone else bringing money in

I feel sorry for him in some ways. It's been very tough for him coming into League football in such sh*t teams. It would be nice to see him given the opportunity behind a good team playing with a confident defence. Be nice for all of us actually. :(

TRUE

on the basis of that, would you want steve claridge as our scout?

Ferking hell lads, lets have a little bit of perspective... :rolleyes:

Masters has enormous potential. He's got the physique, he's an excellent shot-stopper, his handling is good and he's quick off his line. He also kicks the ball bloody miles and is pretty reliable on the back pass.

His confidence is in the toilet at the moment but when he's playing well he communicates and is decent under the high ball. Both of those will improve with games under his belt.

He's about 5-10 years away from being the finished article (like all keepers), but he could make this club a lot of money in the future.

Why don't we just support him?

If any club wants to pay 50K for him lets take it as a part payment towards Butchers payoff figure!

I know you're fishing, but... this leaves us with Seb Brown as sub and if he has to come into this side yet another thing would be repeated from last season i.e. promising young keeper gets dragged down into the mire.
Masters only lacks confidence and a bit of positional awareness and needs to curb his temper slightly. That's all to be expected of a 20 year old who rarely gets a game and is stuck behind a defence like ours.

Off to Southend in January :wave:

Masters is rubbish. If someone is daft enough to buy him then great. He flaps at crosses & has no command of his box. No doubt some of the burks on here will witter on about him not having much of a chance or that he's only young. Like most of our players at present he's a waste of space & a C--- keeper.
While we're at it what about the Staines Keeper? Makes all our 's look 2nd rate. Still guess we'll be seeing him soon enough based on our current form.:sad:

What bolllox. Masters is 20, with no confidence because of the crap in front of him, if he's going to Southend then good luck to the kid. Another one lost which we'll all be saying in two years, 'if only we kept him'.
 

The Clark Masters thread

So why would Sarfend,regrettably it has to be said,a better run club with no doubt a far better scouting system than ours be interested in signing him ?.....masters has potential and with the right coaching and more importantly some decent players around him could be a very good keeper.

Good Riddance to a sh*t shot stopper,lippy ****er should of stayed at fulham for a long trial
 

The Clark Masters thread

The one thing we absolutely need right now is a leader on the pitch and I think Heywood has earned that position.
 

The Clark Masters thread

if MA had not messed josh lennie around with a contract he would still be here the kid sat on the bench aload and his debut against mk dons coming on as a sub for julien showed he was the next paul smith keeping a clean sheet, after seeing masters the last few times 7 against peterbourgh not for me thanks
