Cut Walton some slack 14:02 - Nov 9 with 2238 viewsGreenEye

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.

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.

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.
