kidc77 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 But when you said Bywater was the better keeper though..... I think on form at the time i said he should have played, Kirkland was'nt anywhere near his best then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidc77 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 No, i mean people who troll on here daily by spouting obvioulsy contrarian shyte with the sole purpose of looking for a reaction. Anyone who thinks Martinez (or, indeed someone of Bywaters ilk) should play ahead of Kirkland, on form weve seen so far this season, is a dollshead By dollshead do you mean someone who thinks Bywater could have played this season for us instead of Kirkland? And who on earth said MArtinez this season above Kirkland? I am one of his biggest critics but for most of this season he was exceptional, although now we are seeing the average form again. Bywater deserved a chance at the time because Kirkland wasnt showing the form he did this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At that time i believe bywater was coming down with 'paul heffernan syndrome' - the less he played they better he was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Fedor Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 How many keepers really dominate their penalty areas these days though ? Agreed , not many , it seems more the continental style nowadays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidc77 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Agreed , not many , it seems more the continental style nowadays. It is which is why we have not had a top class keeper in years in the English game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bazapeps Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Good to know he enjoys it here but that interview means nothing. It's just a standard footballers interview. Unfortunately there will be a number if clubs interested in Chris, most likely lower end premiership clubs or top end championship clubs. He's out of contract and will no doubt get some attractive offers from other clubs. With our financial situation I expect us to struggle to compete with the clubs so I expect Chris will move on sadly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taximark Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Be a good start for Kirkland to stay but have to say some of his recent games have been poor, his kicking and coming out for balls have been diabolical in recent games however he has still saved us at times like his display against B'mouth. I personally think the fact our defending has being so bad recently it has highlighted CK more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest zico sterland Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Kikland is a far better keeper thsn Martinez ,but some on here would moan if we had Gordon Banks at his best in nets. Kirkland deserves a new deal and it could well be a major mistake if we dont get it sorted out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlsdreamer Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 (edited) I think long term that Martinez would be a good signing. Kirkland at times worries me.He tends to stop on his line when balls are coming in. Reminds me very much of Chris Woods in that respect Bywater was pants in my opinion.

Lee A Posted April 25, 2014 Share Posted April 25, 2014 Getting Kirkland tied up to a longer contract would be a great start to our summer dealings. I thought Martinez was pants btw. His kicking was a bit pants at times but I don't think he was too bad a keeper, still a baby as goalkeepers go so will probably get better too. Think in terms of fans opinions of him he just suffered from not being Kirkland, just seemed strange that he was playing when we had one of the better keepers in this division on the bench but he did alright, Charlton game aside Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
