Personally I disagree and would target someone way higher/better But looks like he’s got the job as he wouldn’t have been at the match on Saturday and wouldn’t have publically come out and pleaded for it I dunno, it's a goalkeeping coach not a manager, I would say tenure at clubs is always a good indication of quality for specialist coaches? Not that I know anything about these things to be honest! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We aren't looking at him as assistant manager. What about the many years as GK coach at millwall? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcmigo Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Saw the big man on tube - might have been end of last year - with Barroclough on their way to airport to fly to a Under 21 Northern Ireland match.. I was surprised that IB picked Steve Harper not KP as main goalie coach for the senior team when he got the job. I honestly would not make a decision on goalie coach this season - leave as is with Weaver doing it. We need a goalie refresh in the summer and I would see if the new senior goalie we sign has a coach he has worked well with before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He played for us. He was a goalkeeper. He could kick it really, really far. Worked at Millwall who also like to kick it really far. Tony Pulis likes to kick it really far. 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll even take him myself to get a quick Beres in before he starts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

megsonstheman Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Bang average keeper for us, so it's a big no from me. However, if he was back in Sheffield over the weekend, perhaps he can have a motivational word to his brother who is the most boring radio presenter on radio sheffield 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
room0035 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 2 hours ago, @owlstalk said: That screams ‘don’t touch with a bargepole’ In comparison Another former goal keeper who played for the club at the same time as Kevin Pressman is Chris Woods Started his coaching career at Everton in 1998 under Walter Smith stayed there for 15 years before moving to become Manchester United goal keeping coach when Moyes left Everton taking his backroom staff with him. Stayed on at Man Utd when Moyes got the sack but lost got replaced When Louis van Gaal brought his own team in and from 2015 to 2018 was the goal keeping coach with West Ham. Chris Woods has also worked with the United States mens team in 2011 for 4 or 5 years. So a former international keeper, who made over 100 appearance for the Owls, in a time when the team were winning things and one of the better team in the country, has coached for the over 20 years in the Premier League and has also help coach an international football team. Compared to a bloke who the highlight of his coaching a career is working at Millwall. if we go down the former player route I know which goal keeping coach I would pick. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshOwl Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 I dunno, I just really don’t like the idea of ex players coming back in the coaching set up. I’m probably wrong, but I reckon some ex players see it as an opportunity of coming back into familiar territory where you are looked fondly upon, and as a result give a half arsed performance Hasnt really worked for Nicky Weaver has it, and our keeper fiasco Bullen doing wonders with the U23s Just doesn’t really sit right with me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prowl Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Find the best goalkeeping coach who we can afford and give him the job. If that is Pressman, I'm fine with that, if it isn't I'm fine with that too. We need the best not hangers on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
