Walsh/Nardi πŸ™Œ 14:15 - Sep 13 with 3510 viewsE17hoop

I know it's on the match thread that Walsh has a fractured wrist but it's going to be debated for weeks from now and deserves its own thread.

Is there some reason you believe it's a lie? I would have thought WLS was a reliable enough source.

Its extremely unlikely to be a lie. Just said its incredibly convenient.

Convenient??? For who exactly? Certainly not Walsh who was just establishing himself as first choice

Its a tongue in cheek comment.

Feel sad for Walsh but he unfortunately for him needed replacing by Nardi, simply a more experienced head and less error prone.

Thought we saw the best and worst of Nardi today, far better with his feet and positioning and made some good and important saves, but the failure to come and get the ball or deal with crosses was a big part of what allowed Wrexham to get on top 2nd half as it just kept coming back, nothing worse than seeing your centre backs having to head the ball in their own 6 yard box as far as the edge of the area when the keeper could and should have claimed

Strange.

I thought he was very solid and reassuring today. And made some important saves too.

He did, and was, but we also conceded maybe 3 or 4 corners to balls that Walsh or any keepers would have claimed and would have relieved pressure. Hence why I said best and worst. There is a huge benefit in having a keeper that can come and collect.

You summarised it perfectly....

I agree he did well overall and I felt more assured BUT he didn't even come for that cross in the 6 yard box which Dunne felt forced to head out for a corner. I would have backed myself to calmly collect that

Is it too late for him to train on this??

Maybe we'll sign an experienced out of contract keeper this week like West Ham have just done.

It's been suggested that Cooper will return from Barnsley in January. From what I know of him he is a great shot stopper. But, as others have also commented, he's short for a keeper. It's a growing trend now to have a more traditional striker to get on the end of crosses and set pieces. We need a keeper who will effectively compete for high balls. I'm not sure Cooper is that keeper.

Nardi is probably the choice now for some time with Walsh out, but his obvious aerial weakness will cost us again as it has in the past. Salamon, at 6' 4", has the physique but I don't think is ready for the Championship. The keeper issue is one yet to be solved.

Watch every team we face put corners right on his head knowing he won't deal with them. Happened last season and it'll happen again. Frustrating.

What has happened to the box being the goalies where every ball was his?

I prefer Nardi and was happy to see him back today. But, he was not blameless for their goal, I think Walsh would have come for that cross. A bigger concern for me was when he parried a simple shot straight to a Wrexham striker in the area. Luckily it didn't cost us a goal.

I think goalies get more tactically blocked off now than they use to be, so it's much riskier coming for some balls, and I guess 'mistakes' are highlighted so much now it probably makes some keepers more nervous when you think the defender has a good chance of getting there.

There were rumours at least that we were trying to get Seny Dieng back in that last window. If Boro didn't sell or loan him to a Turkish Club before their deadline closed (not see that) maybe we'll try again in January. He was a better Keeper than we have now imo.

I'd agree he's a better keeper than those we currently have. I've not followed him much at Boro but I get the impression he regressed there a bit. Might be wrong on that though.

I, personally, felt a lot easier with Nardi in goal yesterday, I wonder what the players thought.

Why do I wonder/ask......because defenders, primarily, will have more confidence if they have 'good vibs' about their goalkeeper which should help their performance on the day.

Good post I would love to hear what Dunne said to Nardi there it was a keepers ball all day every day yet Dunne had to risk snapping his neck to head it away .
Wrexham already knew his weakness I think every corner was curved in on top of him .they got one and had 2 if not 3 uncontested headers which we survived.
I watched the West Ham V Spurs highlights and apparantly the West Ham keeper is so suspect on crosses the commentator kept mentioning it and to nobodys surprise Spurs keps pounding crosses and harassing him and scored at least 2 if not 3 from this strategy .
Nardi is a tall lean keeper he should be able to dominate his box IMO

Nardi is 6' 1" so not that tall for a keeper.

To be honest both our goalkeepers make me nervous.

When you reach the place beyond thoughts, the only thing you'll find is love and the only purpose of life becomes to ease the suffering of others.

The big positive for Nardi is his distribution. In my view this more than compensates for his failure to collect crosses.
When passing or throwing the ball to defenders he shows a confidence and ability to quickly find a player in space. In comparison, Walsh hesitates and is too predictable, immediately putting the defender under pressure. Also when Nardi went direct yesterday he often kicked sensibly towards Dunne rather than an aimless boot forward.
Going back to problem with crosses, this wasn’t helped by Wrexham putting someone directly in front of him at corners with no QPR defender standing between them. At one corner, he was bundled to the floor and only just got up in time to make a save.
