Can someone do a graphical analysis of goalies used (number of games) per season for the Nix. Last season must have been breaking a trend with Mossy playing so frequently.

I know over our 7 seasons we have had 14 goal keepers on the books.

I would say that Gould has seen Spoonley, Italiano and Williams. They signed Italiano. Should that answer the question?

On the Payne thing, I know it's a whole different level but I read Arsenal have a buy back option for Fabregas and while they are very strong in his position (Ozil, Cazorla, Ramsey, Wilshere, Risicky) surely you wouldn't pass up that option? I see that as a similar situation, just on a massively reduced scale.

two world class (no joke) saves in last game v Amicale, 1) penalty save by diving to foot of right hand post, 2) saving screamer to top right.

Spectacular saves are, paradoxically, the easier part of goalkeeping. What's his defence-organisation and ball-distribution like? Does he tend to catch or punch at corners, or miss them altogether?

(It's odd because my current coach doesn't want me organising the defence. He says "worry about the 6 yard box, I'll yell at them in the 18 yard box." Oooo-kay.)

And if your positioning is good as a GK you're less likely to have to make an outstretched save too.

The pen was outstanding - strong left hand knocking the ball out from just inside the post. The other save was hit from outside the box and was going top left - i'd suggest his positioning is exactly what allowed him to make the save - many keepers would have been caught flat footed.

Oh yeah, not criticizing Williams with my post, was talking in general terms about goalkeepers.

According to this website which ranks them on a basis I don't really understand, Spoonley is better than Moss.

It also says Hicks was our 4th best player, and the only player worse than Boxall was Krishna. Hmmmm.....

It would be interesting to see how they break that down. I think Hicks is actually a very good player. He does his core job well which is distributing the ball. It's alot of other things which let him down and are harder to measure.

His short passing game is very good, his long passing game is not great and he needs to work on that - and if you watch closelt he is very one footed.  I still think he could do with being a bit more direct.  I don't think we've got his best position sorted yet - I think he didn't have a great season last year so he needs to improve to get re-signed

I think Hicks decent and shows promise but tbh he distributes the ball to both teams equally well.

Roar and Heart trying for him. Given how much I've hassled my Newcastle supporting mate about him, I would rather we weren't in for him tbh.

Having seen them both (often) I'd say two-footed Burfoot is the better player.

Steven Reid is on WBA's released players list, he is mates with Ifill and was an awesome box to box midfielder at Rovers. Injuries have hurt his career and he was playing at RB for WBA I think. Still maybe worth a look.

QPR and a few other clubs are looking at him at the moment.
