Guest ka58 Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Didn't need to sign him at time. a very good keeper - unfortunately nallsed up in high profile Derby matches and an fa cup final. decent for us overall but prob least to mention out of the early 90s side.

Your excuse because he played poorly against united & Cup final is just that, he had a clanger in many a game. He was a waste of money I was talking to Luke's a woman tbf when I posted that. I wasn't a pressman fan,but we all have different opinions mate That's what makes football the sport it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imre Varadi Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I think his debut was the 2-3 home defeat to Villa. I remember him being dodgy and terrible on crosses. I've spoken to him and was surprised how big he was. Decent shot stopper but an all round average keeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Night-Owl Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Don't think he was as bad as my memory serves me. Unfortunately goalkeepers tend to get remembered most for their mistakes. Like most people remember David Seaman's mistakes or his trouble with long shots but he was a top class keeper. Same goes for quite a few England keepers that made memorable mistakes but were generally good keepers, like the likes of David James, etc. Chris Woods had a good career before he even joined us, he seemed a steady keeper that stayed on his line and his strength was his shot stopping. He made some top class saves but also made some unfortunate mistakes. I can remember him in a Cup game against Derby making some decent saves but unfortunately one shot cannoned in off of him after hitting the bar. I think Pressman was the better all round keeper but Woods wasn't as bad as his high profile mistakes made him seem. If I remember rightly we were quite attacking back in those days and our defence got exposed many times, even in games we memorably won or drew I can remember our keeper's, or the likes of Nilsson, Pearson or Walker, etc having to rescue us many times. However we tend to remember the mistakes or the wonder goals and bits of magic, rather than the saves, tackles or determination, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBMitchell Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 Absolutely mmm As I said earlier we remember a goalkeeper's faults like young wildsmith the other week. Doesn't matter what he did before or after, that's what's remembered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 A better than average keeper with super star billing who Francis wasted money on. Only for him to let us down badly ! Does not feature in my top 10 keepers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can only dream now of the success and the football we played, and the top class players we had back then. Instead of the magical football Trevor's team played, the title challenges; European football and Cup run's, he's mostly remembered for the near misses and for dismantling that great side.

vulva Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 I thought he was vastly overrated and couldn't be trusted. Keepers are judged by their mistakes, and he lost us a local derby and a cup final. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Snooty Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 The thing is, people always say keepers are judged and remembered for their mistakes. And while true to an extent..... I still hold Hodge in high regard and as a good, solid and extremely brave keeper, even with the Ogrizovich bounce and the Winterburn nutmeg. Which means that somewhere in there he must have been doing something right that -that is not all I remember him for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nevthelodgemoorowl Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 True to those who have said you can't judge a keeper on his great games or his mistakes. I agree, I judge Woods on his relationship with our back four and in general terms that very important relationship lacked confidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torryowl Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 for someone who played so many times for England I expected better than what he produced for us .....springett (obviously),grummitt,turner ,bolder,hodge , pressman,kirkland westwood all rank above him for me ...
