Woodmans not exactly a world beater is he? 19:52 - Jan 2 with 11589 viewsBarrySwan

Most teams seem to have fairly competent keepers, and most professional keepers will have a decent amount of fantastic saves in them on occasion as does our Freddy. The better standard of keepers clearly perform better on a more consistent basis than the also rans.

But I'm afraid the word 'ordinary' is the very best I can come up with to describe Woodman, surely it can't be that difficult to find a reasonably priced keeper who does the basics and reasonably straight forward saves on a regular basis with the odd sterling performance thrown in, as opposed to being beaten time after time by the most pedestrian of shots from distance on a fairly regular basis.

Fab seemed to dive out of the way tbh.

Anyway,we have far greater issues to discuss than Woodman ,like where ha all the money gone leaving u to look for scraps in the market. It disgusts me.

Tell you what is good;that we are able to cross swords like this so frankly,Im quite ok with anything coming my way these days.

I refered to him a a coward in goal keeper terms and stand by every word. As a bloke,he seems a good lad .

He is lucky to have the defenders in front of him he has and ,as I say, if he hadnt,his stats quoted ,ad neauseum,would be nowhere near as impresive.

So it' bad again nigel

He saved yet another pelanty today. I think that's 4 out of 7 saved this season.
Hell, when Fab was in goal you knew that if we conceded a penalty the opposition only had to hit the target to score.


Yes, I was impressed by that statistic - 4 saves in 7 pens is quite impressive. I also had the same thought as you about Fab, but Fab was a Fab-ulous goalkeeper overall and don’t forget, he was up against top quality Premier League penalty takers.
I only saw the last 20 minutes today but my I was impressed by Boro’s passing- better than ours, and I was impressed with Woodman’s goalkeeping - not just the penalty save but also another fine save from a long range thunderbolt towards the end. It could easily have been 2-2. I’ve always found him to be a quite good ‘keeper who sometimes has an indifferent game - who doesn’t?
Every body notices goalkeeping mistakes even though there are mistakes being made all over the pitch all the time. As somebody mentions above, he’s a perfectly adequate goalkeeper for us. If he was much better, we wouldn’t have him!

I agree about Fab, best goalkeeper er we have ever had by a country mile.

Woodman was a different player today. Commanded his defence, his positioning was good, made good saves and his distribution was OK? Best since his early form.

Well unless we bring in GK who's better than Freddie we're "stuck" with him . Benda's out for a while awaiting an operation on his ankle

The goalkeeping group at Swansea clearly favour he goalkeeper pretty much staying close to goal and using his reflexes when required. This is a clear demarcation of duties. Aerial balls 10m outside the goal are not Freddies responsibility. It is the responsibility of the back 3 . Cabango Guehi and Bennet.

There have been no "mix ups " at all this season between keeper and defenders that we saw regularly wth Nordfeldt. No gestures of the keepr holding his arms out saying I thought you were going to clear it. No goals directly from corners. That was a Potter speciality.

The results speak for themselves.

Wise sage since Toshack era

Nit picking but Newport away for mix up and Wednesday home for direct from corner off top of my head.

Still a very good record.

Middlesbrough away they scored from a corner as well . A low corner direct to a Middlesbrough player standing unmarked about 12 yards from goals while everyone else was standing in 6 box.

It is true we have not conceded a header from a corner this season in the championship.
