Chris Kirkland

[Mawsley]

I actually feel sorry for him. He could gave had such a good career it's not his fault he's always injured!

And if he could have been a brilliant accountant if he could hold a calculator without getting a sprain and seven splinters.

 

[Chrysalis]

is this why he kept a clean sheet for 54 mins?

Kirkland, who ironically had not needed to make a save until the 54th minute opener, was in for his first start since being farmed out on loan and this latest setback added a cruel edge to a hard night for his team.

Struggling to understand the vitriol?

Got a concussion. Was only playing because Al-Habsi is on loan from Bolton so can't play against them.

 

[Lako42]

Im amazed that a player I generally thought highly of has fallen so far from grace!

Yep, must be shit playing in the Premier League.

Turning out and playing are two different things. How quickly did he get down for Ipswich's second goal for example?

Wasn't he unsighted as it went through the defenders legs. He wasn't great, but the way some people go on you'd think every goal was his fault.

If you look again, you'll see when he dived he couldn't get any purchase in the ground due to the snow.:icon_roll

I wouldn't want to say that but looking at him (admittedly only on TV ) for Wigan and City this year he has looked less mobile and flexible than a top class keeper should be.

I still see no reason why we are looking to replace Weale.

Its definitely not a priority. Weale is good enough for this league, but I have my doubts that he can play higher

Exactly. Average Championship Keeper.

 

[Han]

I'd say he's a good championship keeper. That's all we need.

 

[Redditch Fox]

Weale - an unreliable shot stopper.

To be successful we need better - average goal keepers are not good enough for a club that aspires to chasing promotion.

Kirkland - finished. As many of us anticipated before he made his inevitably ill-fated appearance for us.

Can we start another thread if we want to discuss Kirkland. I keep seeing the confirmed transfer heading and keep thinking shit we have bought him.
