Rayvin 4964 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Maybe we're more interesting than Tony Pulis' west brom? I get the point but they're not lower mid table atm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 30727 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 One thing I always thought about Krul is that, especially for a Dutch keeper, his distribution is shite. SMB will do a sex wee when he sees this btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4964 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) Fully agree on Krul's distribution. Really poor. Elliot was much better at that even in his early days. Â The advantage with Krul was that he could be unbeatable on his day. Edited January 17, 2017 by Rayvin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 12866 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Still not sure how anyone can watch Townsend's performances under Rafa last year and not immediately think he'd be unplayable down here. There was a spell where Gouffran was holding his own Goal of the Month competition ffs, Townsend would rip the piss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye and that day was at Tottenham.Liability before and after.I'd like to think the days of our keepers shitting their pants 3 yards out are over.

wykikitoon 16970 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I think Darlow is a better keeper myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj 17 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I wouldn't write off Krul, it'd be interesting to see how he gets on having chance to work properly with Simon Smith rather than the mess that is Andy Woodman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 9140 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 I wouldn't write off Krul, it'd be interesting to see how he gets on having chance to work properly with Simon Smith rather than the mess that is Andy Woodman. Was chatting with a Palace fan who agreed that, on reflection, the standard of 'keeping has plummeted since Woodman took over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 9140 Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Leicester City striker and Premier League title winner Leonardo Ulloa has handed in a transfer request, with West Brom, Hull, Sunderland and Swansea interested in signing the 30-year-old.  Worth a bid?

rogerbarton 24 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 I remember we brought in Harewood and Leon Best this window last time we were down. I see Ulloa doing a good job at this level, but I hear a couple of Spanish clubs are interested. Â As for Krul, still reckon he's the best 'keeper on our books to be honest. Do take the point about distribution though. How has Darlow's distribution been this season? Haven't seen a lot of the matches. Â Sooner we get rid of Sels the better, though. Elliot should be starting vs Oxford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 3569 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Always thought we've been lucky with keepers in general. Even had solid back up most of the time. Sels was on the cards therefore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerbarton 24 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) Yeah, we had Given and Harper, then when Given left Krul came through with Forster. And when Krul was out last season both Elliot and Darlow were superb. Thinking back to Srnicek and Hislop we were fairly well equipped then too. Â Rafa will just have to swallow this one and get shot in the summer. Edited January 19, 2017 by rogerbarton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Sooper dooper Hooper was horrendous but Sels isn't looking any better at the minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 6067 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 He's 25 soon so it's not like he's a novice. Last night a Brum player crossed the ball just as Sels came off his line and then ran across the 6yard box following the ball, completely lost his bearings and nearly conceded a goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 Aye that was pitiful. Â Every time the ball goes near him now you feel he looks like he's struggling. Â Confidence clearly is playing a part in that, but he hasn't impressed in any area so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 26747 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 If Elliott is fit and sharp enough then it's time he got his spot on the bench/cup team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 If Elliott is fit and sharp enough then it's time he got his spot on the bench/cup team. Agreed, I get that confidence is playing a part (to a degree I still don't think he's anything special) but we've got better and he doesn't look like he's going to emerge as some world beater so what's the point in carrying on playing him? Darlow is only 2 years older than him and is far better and Elliott has already shown he can cut it at the PL level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
