Lewis DW 11 Posted August 29, 2015 I really hope John and Declan remain injury free because judging by lasts nights performance Jake Kean was woeful. Poor on crosses and a clumsy error cost the U21''s goals.I know it''s only one game and there''s no need to wet the bed but he looked very dodgy, and his transfer fee is beginning to look too high...I realise he was a freebie - that''s my point!

Lessingham Canary 99 Posted August 29, 2015 Based on last night, no better than Remi, IMO Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
It's Character Forming 1,160 Posted August 29, 2015 Having seen Rudd play superbly on Tuesday, I''m not to worried on this front. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man 3,782 Posted August 29, 2015 I didn''t see the game last night, but even if a goalkeeper has a poor start, it isn''t the end of them, unless of course you concede seven at home to Colchester.Ruddy looked a bit ropey in his early days, and using a non-Norwich example, De Gea looked out of his depth at Man United for his whole first season.

Lewis DW 11 Posted August 29, 2015 This guy isn''t a kid, nor from a foreign league. A 24 year old should be doing better. That said who gives a hoot about a third GK?! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Year of the tiger 54 Posted August 29, 2015 Played very well in the previous under 21 game at Colney. Looks to be a good shot stopper but weaker on crosses, common theme on most keepers I seem to see. Prob ok for 3rd keeper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andyc24_uk 58 Posted August 29, 2015 Really don''t understand why we bought him! He''s had a very average career at an average-to-poor Championship side; he''s no better than our youngsters really and he takes up a vital space in our 25-man squad which is essentially wasted given that he''s unlikely ever to play. Would make far more sense to risk Remi or one of our other young keepers in the extremely unlikely event we ever need to go to our third choice ''keeper, and give the squad space to another player!

AJ 1,218 Posted August 29, 2015 He was a bit poor last night. Not very commanding and very suspect for crosses and caught out from a set piece for their first and possibly should have done better with their second. He is a third choice keeper though and I''m sure he''ll improve as he is new here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nu_matik 167 Posted August 29, 2015 He''s had very little game time and is still in the early days of trying to gel with his team. Yes, an ''experienced'' keeper should be able to deal with a cross.... but does this need a thread of its own? We have 2 very decent keepers ahead of him and Remi is looking like a good shout for the future. DON''T PANIC! DON''T PANIC! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
King Klose 0 Posted August 30, 2015 He''s probably just happy to be 3rd choice and be on fairly small wages (compared to others) and pick his money up every week whilst giving us security just incase something happens to the other 2. To me, he just looked like a slightly bigger version of Mark Bunn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kendal 0 Posted August 31, 2015 Just watched the whole game on Chelsea TV.On the evidence of that I thought he looked good.The one cross we are talking about was taken cleanly. On landing his own defender knocked it out of his hands,Made two outstanding saves late on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
