Mighty Quinn Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I've read all the comments on the other keeper thread and no one has mentioned the obvious, we have a goalkeeper coach, Adrian Basso, is he good enough, should we try and get a better qualified coach, we have had some great keepers in the past, but I think Rotherham have always had good keepers, they have two excellent keepers now and I think a lot of it is to do with the coaching, we need a better coach imo.

jonnyowl Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I don't think Basso has been here that long. Didn't Moore bring him in? BPF improved as the season went on! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mogbad Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 BPF improved after a few months with Basso, which is more than can be said for Dawson and Wildsmith with other coaches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point, Dawson may improve further then under Basso but Wildsmith has been coached by him ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has but we didn't see enough of him in the second half of the season to know whether he's improved or not. DM and Basso have obviously seen enough of him in training to warrant offering him a new contract when most of us expected him to be released. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markg Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 BPF improved a lot when this coach came in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 OT posters have two scenarios with goalkeepers the first is it's the defence left him exposed. Westwood The second he's rubbish doesn't control his defence. Wildsmith Dawson 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wildsmith and Dawson went backwards when Rhodes left. Probably because they had been under him for a long time and a new coach comes in and tries to change the fundamentals which you should not do with keepers this far into their development, should just be tweaked to accommodate the new coaches methods.

Jack of Clubs Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Our GK department was the best it had been for a long time when Andy Rhodes was here. Westwood as #1 and a couple of exciting young deputies in Dawson and Wildsmith. It may just be a timing thing now that we don't have an established #1 and that Dawson and Wildsmith didn’t establish themselves to the same level as Westwood and maybe they never would have had Rhodes stayed. As a club we did well to get in BPF last season and wouldn’t have finished 4th otherwise in my opinion. Thinks it’s unfair to label Basso as unsuitable though. He’s kept out #1 at the top of his game this season hasn’t he? As for Wildsmith, maybe he’s as far as he can go in his development?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fpowl Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 Eh, these goalkeepers have worked under several goalkeeper coaches starting with billy mercer who has gone on to coach for years in the premier league add Andy Rhodes, Nicky weaver and now I’ve season basso into that I think it’s strange to pin their development on the coach now the other side would be what on earth do any of us know about the credibility and effectiveness of our keepers coaching it’s an impossible thing to comment on unless we are privy to the watching the training bit harsh in basso if you ask me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
