| Cut Walton some slack 14:02 - Nov 9 with 2440 views | GreenEye |
I think he's made some fine saves this season.
We know he's not great with his feet so a hospital pass instead of playing up the line wasn't smart. |  | | |  |

If he won hes deserving of it as hed have a won something he was nominated for. I havent said he wouldnt deserve to win it. If the judges felt his dive was better than those who stopped shots that was going in then thats for them to award and hed deserve to win it based on their chosen criteria for shortlisting.
If your response to a keepers poor save rate is to point out an award where a ball doesnt even have to be going in to be nominated, well...... |
Fine. You do you. |  |

| Cut Walton some slack on 09:07 - Nov 10 | DJR |
The goalkeeping position was discussed on the KOA podcast yesterday.
Mark Heath, Stuart Watson and Ross Hall all thought it best to stick with Walton, not least because of the danger of chopping and changing goalkeeper becoming a feature, if Scherpen weren't to perfom.
They also played a clip from O'Neil which suggested Walton is doing better in training and that O'Neil is not minded to change.
At the end of the day, Walton has got better with his feet but will never be a Hladky, but I don't recall him ever being responsible in the same way for a goal as he was on Saturday.
More generally, it is probably possible with many goals any keeper concedes to argue they could have done better, and this is certainly something that will happen if people don't rate a keeper. [Post edited 10 Nov 9:13]

Fine. You do you. |
Ooh is this the one when Frimley Makin stops pretending to be different and a changed poster, goes all obsessively negative over a player, spams the board and makes it unbearable?
I've seen this episode before.
(The answer to my previous question was 39 negative posts as of last night about Walton. That's 39 in under two days. About a great servant for this club. Fck sake man). |  | | |

No spamming of a forum. Im not starting threads directly about him. Simply using threads created by others to discuss him.
Ive simply replied to discussions about a keeper mentioned by the OPs of the threads. If you dont want to discuss him then people shouldnt make threads about him and if you dont want post replies then whats the forum for.
Counting posts is rather bizarre. If we were having a face to face chat it would be seamless conversation. As its a forum there will be posts of volume as im discussing things with people and more than one person so theres gonna be a lot of posts. |  |

So is that your own bias no? The ball is curling away from goal. Literally the only reason i dont sgree that the ball is going in. |
May well be my own bias, but I don't really have an agenda here. I'm just saying what I see. I think Walton's mostly ok, but would love better. You, by the amount you post about it, seem to have it in for him. Which is why it looks like confirmation bias. It's up for save of the month, which ought to be enough to tell you it's a good save.
Regardless of the curl, it still looks to be heading for the post before Walton's touch, to me. The only reason you want to take it away from him is you want to stick the boot in even further. On one of your own players, although let's be honest, you have form for this.
There's enough mistakes for you to talk about (and by god you have), so trying to belittle his actual saves seems a little odd. |  |

Your agenda is no different to mine however you are pushing to find positives and ignoring things Where as im defending my views based on facts and nothing more.
You agree to your own bias. So all we have here is someone who isnt afraid to speak up about players compared to someone who clings on to the past
Oh btw. Side note
My boy asked if youre doing another book? [Post edited 10 Nov 11:04]

I don't really have an agenda other than the facts.
I certainly haven't made 40+ posts about the same subject!
The idea that your posts are based on facts and nothing more is delusion I'm afraid.
What have I ignored? In what way do I cling to the past? Can you povide any evidence of me ignoring things and/or clinging to the past?
Yep, I do plan to do another book. I've done a poem for every game this season as well (although haven't had time to do the Bournemouth one yet). Did you hear me flogging it on Radio Suffolk last night? It's on iPlayer, probably, of you want to listen to my dulcet tones! | |

Im having discussions with people. Various posters. There will be a lot of posts. If it was in person it would be an easier chat. But its not i can only respond one at a time.
I didnt see your radio suffolk link so sorry. Will have a listen :) | |
