Etheridge today

Sun Oct 27, 2019 7:32 pm

Was all over the place.

Scuffs a clearance and then tries to head the resulting shot from 50 yards out that was missing the goal by miles.

Misses a back pass that almost leads to a goal.

Seemed to be auditioning for the Rugby World Cup with his kicking.

Needs to spend a lot of time during training practising his kicking which is shockingly poor.

His distribution is going to cost us a goal one day.

It's not the best but today looked as if was afraid to put boot to ball maybe because of his injury? The clearance we are talking about he actually side footed it? :roll:

The worst goalkeeping I have ever seen in the first half. But credit to him he turned it around in the second half

We look a lot more comfortable with Smithies in goal.

Etheridge has massive flaws in his game, he is literally just a good shot stopper

Smithies leaves far far too many 20 yarders in even ones that don't have much zip on them..
its cost us points

Etheridge let's in far too many at his near post , cant kick, cant pass and cant catch .
Hes great at camera saves though from 30 yards

Stop making a fool of yourself, Etheridge is by far a superior keeper and Cardiff Citys number one :bluebird:

Yeah yeah
The proof is in the career stats of both players
Etheridge is a one season wonder, his weaknesses are there for all to see and they are getting noticed more and more recently

What are you on about. Etheridge has had two great seasons in a row and one was in the PL and he is currently our POTY.

I went to WBA and I saw how at fault Smithies was for the goals from 20 yards.

Didn't you do the poll on here for the better keeper, and wasnt it 75% in favour of Etheridge. I know it dont mean nothing but you really ain't doing yourself justice or you must be Smithies agent

a lot of superlatives after a derby, aren't there?

I didn't see any reason for him to come back in when Smithies was playing well.
