northernscum Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Seems to be going through a bit of a rough spell in form. Some pretty amateurish mistakes by all accounts. Hope he gets his head together soon, although he is 3rd choice for us at the moment a couple of knocks to Gorson and Marshall and we would be starting to panic. http://www.skysports.com/football/news/11699/9952667/watch-hull-goalkeeper-allan-mcgregor-produces-howler-against-wolves#ooid=hpeXcxdzoHhV1UsYRH7KqHAqjcp8ITRC http://www.hullcityindependent.net/?page=forum&forum_id=8&thread_id=22033 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robroysboy Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 He has had a bit of a unstable personal life aswell, looks likely that this may be affecting his performances during the 90 mins. Thankfully Craig Gordon seems to be in good form, Marshall hasn't played for Cardiff as he was completing a match suspension. I reckon Marshall who is on a verge of a move to WBA will be number 1 in tiblisi if he can get a few EPL games under his belt, as Strachan is very loyal and Marshall did not do much wrong in Dublin. It was an off side goal and never should have stood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orraloon Posted August 16, 2015 Share Posted August 16, 2015 Nae need to worry we still have Scott Bain. He will be our next top class keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notts Bankie Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Not so - he did drop a clanger in the Denmark friendly in 2011 when he came about 5 yards from where he needed to stay for a free kick which he then completely missed and which then went over him into the net. Totally misread it and was at fault. Ok, only a friendly, but he seems to have this issue with crosses or high balls - his decision making or his concentration are occasionally wanting, reflected in that goal yesterday as he was obviously thinking about throwing the ball straight away once he'd caught it. His reflexes have shown him to be absolutely superb - remember the saved penalty against Northern Ireland which was as good a penalty save as you will see. Shot stopping can be very good. That said, he hasn't looked the keeper we know him to be when I have seen him in the EPL for Hull, and he has made numerous errors. Pal of mine is a Tigers man, and he thinks he is simply sloppy who doesn't concentrate enough - (Lokeren away in the UEFA Cup was a real hummer) and was dropped for a number of games last season. In any case, he's a back-up for David Marshall and Craig Gordon - and the former is in the box seat. However, you just hope he can up his game back up to the level we know he can perform at - for both his own and Scotland's sakes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boynze Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 His save against sporting Lisbon (I think) in rangers uefa cup run was one of the best reflex saves you'll see anywhere, anytime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

northernscum Posted August 17, 2015 Author Share Posted August 17, 2015 craig gordon is better. get him in as 1st choice. Gordon and Marshall are pretty much interchangable as number 1's anyway. Both are as good as each other and I would have no issue with either of them playing in the Georgia game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotts56 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Agree about Gordon & Marshall being streets ahead and there's not much between them. I do prefer to see Gordon in goals though for sentimental reasons, after everything that he's done for us in the past. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toepoke Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 If Jamie MacDonald keeps up his early season form he'll be knocking at the door, but I agree Bain looks a sensational prospect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magnum Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I agree that currently Marshall and Gordon are 1 & 2, but the above comment is nothing short of in idiotic! Totally agree with that. Some people have short memories. He has pulled off some great saves (often one on one situations), to keep us in games. That might be in the past, he is suspect at crosses, and he shouldn't now be our number one or two choices, but please give him some respect for what he did for us when he was on the top of his game, and served us well !

ParisInAKilt Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Good player who's having a bad year Always preferred Gordon and probably Marshall but not because I'm a Celtic fan or not a Rangers one. Hopefully he can regain form Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Al1978 Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 I agree that currently Marshall and Gordon are 1 & 2, but the above comment is nothing short of in idiotic! No, it's not. A good keeper isn't one that's poor at crosses and lets in goals quite regularly at his near post. A lot of people are basing their opinion on his shot stopping but you need more than that to be considered a good keeper. And that's why he's been poor at Hull, why he's struggled to get a game for the last six months and why he was hated by the fans in Turkey. If he was English he'd be a laughing stock on this forum.

Being suspect at crosses is not very good though, is it. Pretty big deficiency in a keeper's game. It's as costly as a goalkeeping blunder except it's quickly forgotten about. I remember standing behind the goal at 3-0 defeat to Holland and he missed every cross he came for, which led to at least a couple of the goals.

Robroysboy Posted August 17, 2015 Share Posted August 17, 2015 Marshall > Gordon> McGregor for me. Marshall will soon be an EPL player ( on verge of a move to WBA), since his performance in molde where he was outstanding. He has never let us down and as such Strachan has been loyal to him in selection. Norway should have been us 3-0 up at half-time easy that night if it wasn't for Marshall. That night freezing cold I said to myself what a keeper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
