Sadly your admiration and devotion of an over the hill conference player seems to outweigh your love of the Albion. Maybe you could follow him to Crawley and leave the rest of us to have sensible debates about the actual merits of players.

No it doesn't, it sounds like having an opinion more sophisticated than looking at a number on a piece of paper and saying "they won this match so they all wos good".

I text my Leeds supporting mate and he said "he is a good shot stopper ut not better then your black lad keeper". black lad keeper, who?

A Michel clone then.
Ones I work with said that he is possibly one of the best shot stoppers they have seen. (Better than FDM) (thats for TCB) commanding but could be abit flappy at times.
Bit like Brez really

Why is this thread now talking about kuipers??
He's gone, get over it.
As to all this questioning over the signing of Ankergren then my take on it is that Poyet believed Poke or Walker could be READY to challenge for the number one spot earlier on in preseason. But now he doesn't believe they're READY to challenge for the number one spot hence signing a keeper he's a) worked with and b) has a good pedigree.
Doesn't mean that Poke or Walker WON'T make the step up but just not yet.
What;s the fookin problem with that ladies??

It called knowing what date it was (as it was announced well in advance) then booking the day off, surely you would have made some effort for your most favourite player? No?

And me.
Ankergren's arrival means Albion now have four senior keepers, but Poyet feels both Michael Poke and Mitch Walker had the chance to seize the number one spot during pre-season.
"I am certain that Michael Poke and Mitch Walker have great futures ahead of them, which is why we signed them both, but neither of them make me feel 100% safe right now so as a manager you need to make bold decisions.
"At the start of pre-season we saw both as players for the future, with the option to challenge Peter every day, but after Peter's injury we gave them the opportunity over the pre-season period to prove themselves, but I am not 100% convinced.
"However, I always felt it would take an outstanding pre-season, both in training and in matches for either to seize the position.
I think you misunderstood the last point, it wasn't about being concerned about mistakes. Of course we want to eliminate as many mistakes as possible. But, being human, players will always make mistakes, at every level.
My point with that last paragraph was the progression of the argument:
1-He cost us lots of games!
2-No, he didn't. We won or drew most of the games in which he made mistakes.
1-I meant goals! He cost us goals!!!
2-As will lots of people, this is third division football, and this is a results game and we didn't lose many games because of his errors.
1-Yeah, well, we only won those games because of luck!
See what I mean? When you start off complaining about costing us games, have that point disproved, you go to costing games, having that point argued against it's all about luck, is what sounds like someone is desperate to complain regardless.
As for the "looking at the results" I'm not just looking at results. Although that is the most important aspect for league success, and as such is a very important matter, I'm also looking at responses to mistakes (that thing about saving penalties, scoring to compensate for the one you cost, the whole team improving).
We can't ignore mistakes. I'm not arguing we should. Ignoring the flaws of a team because of winning results will lead to future failures when you face stiffer opposition.
What I'm arguing against is labelling Brezovan a "calamity goalkeeper who cost us too many games", and then desperately clinging to that label when all the evidence is against it.

I CANNOT believe people are questioning TCBs ability to make the Kuipers appreciation evening. Why is that anybodys business, f***ing hell.

Does he mean Clayton Ince, ex walsall? Can't think of another black L1 keeper.

God knows, apparently anyone vaguely coloured is black to him which is a bit surprising as he lives in Bradford- you would think he's be able to tell the difference.

I live just outside Bradford myself mate, due to move down to Brighton in the next 3-4 months.
I know just the type.

Michel, at least he was ... a League 1 keeper that is, he's still black lol
