Donaldo87 Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 Excellent. By all accounts any goalkeeper that has joined Motherwell while he has been there has got worse. And he was apparently heavily involved in some of our signings. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted June 24, 2015 Author Share Posted June 24, 2015 Jim Leighton didn't exactly have a great record for judging new keepers either..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbcmfc Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 He was a pretty decent keeper for Motherwell, his record as a goalkeeping coach is questionable! Given we tried 4 different goalies and struggled to decide who was least bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robroysboy Posted June 24, 2015 Share Posted June 24, 2015 I remember him playing for Falkirk and Motherwell, did he not have a spell at celtic park aswell ? Aberdeen have a habit of poaching our coaching staff Craig Brown and Mark McGhee, who both had relative success at Fir Park compared to Marshall. Both Brown and McGhee had little success up north.

Erm he played for Killie for years. You signed him from us. He played for Celtic 91-98 and Killie 98-03. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan cake Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 he was goal keeping coach at easter road for 4 years a pish easy job with no conseguences for failure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BremnerLorimerGray Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Liked him as a keeper at Fir Park apart from the League Cup final disaster, but his record and judgement as coach has left a lot to be desired. I can't say I'm gutted to see him leave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parklife Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Our 'keepers have suffered from the same deficiency for years. They're weak in crowded penalty areas and either: 1. Stand rooted to their line and scared to come for crosses; or 2. Come for crosses and make a total arse of it. Scott Brown and Langfield are both good shot stoppers. If Marshall can help them improve on cross balls, it'll make us a better side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SMcoolJ Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Don't hold your breath for that one Parklife. If anything that seems to be one of his main failings as our coach. That doesn't sounds too positive! We need a keeper with presence, who is more imposing in the box and willing to leave the safety of the 6 yarder. Langfield tried coming off his line a bit more in a couple of games last season but simply just came when he shouldn't have a didn't when he should. It was actually funny to watch..... We had a sort of "It's a Knock Out Style" go, no don't, now go, oh feck, thing going on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Auchinyell Sox Change Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 he was goal keeping coach at easter road for 4 years a pish easy job with no conseguences for failure AgreeEven question the need for the role Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenAngus Posted June 25, 2015 Share Posted June 25, 2015 Agree Even question the need for the role Keepers cannot be expected to do the same drills as outfield players. Specialised position needs specialist coaching and training. Without doubt the boys I have seen watching my kids play who have been to goalkeeping courses improve very quickly to a standard that doesn't happen without that intervention. What I do find amusing is folk equating the standard of goalkeeping coaching to how they rated said keeper as a player. Loads of examples of managers/coaches who were average at best but are top managers/coaches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our keepers haven't moved on tho.....Seaton park and beach were good enough training to take on Europes finest Theres a lot of brainwashing today with need for bowling lawns ; defensive coaches ; academies etc Give me 5 a side in Pittodrie car park any day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few decent stops if I recall correctly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
