Will TK go to Leicester to replace Kasper Schmeichal next season if we dont go up.

Perhaps, but does he have enough aerial presence for that level?

Shot stopping wise he has no peers, in this division, but he's not the greatest on crosses and distribution is also questionable.

Still want him to stay though.

Never mind we have Brez and Ankergen as cover ... quick help !!!

I don't understand all of the negativity toward Ankergren. Of course he's not a world class keeper - if he was, he wouldn't be here. He has some dodgy moments during a game but so does TK. When it comes to distribution, calming the game down and working the clock then Ankergren is easily our best (not seen our wonder kid so can't comment on him). I like TK but he's not as good as he thinks he is. He'd still be at Man Utd if he was. There aren't that many 'perfect' goalkeepers, most have obvious or some weaknesses.

I'd be happy if Ankergren was to stay with us. Experienced, comes across as a good professional and if Walton is moved up the ranks we'll need somebody like Ankergren. Ideally we will keep both.

What a ridiculous statement his strength is his shot stopping and not conceeding goals and his kicking isnt brilliant but no worse than many otbers this myth about his kicking is absurd.

His kicking reminds me of FDM at times.

Are you sure? One might recall the 3-3 at home to Leeds in our first Amex season, where Ankers showed just how marvellous he could be. Injury time, we're 3-2 up and he collects the ball for what should have been the last meaningful play of the game. But alas, no. He panics, immediately punts the ball down the field to no one in particular and into touch and Leeds come straight back and equalise.
Not the first time dear Ankers costs us points that season.
Torture.

Walton will be pushing himself into the reckoning next season. Craig Gordon if available would be a fine addition if TK leaves

We can all pick selective moments when goalkeepers cost us points. TK is not immune from that.

Are you sure? Didn't he just punt it down the field to the Leeds keeper who then sent it back into our penalty area when they scored.

No he booted the ball straight back to them in a panic when we were 3-2 up and cost us the win as they scored from it. He played it like we were 3 2 down not winning. Schoolboy error goal keeping and far worse than a howler which can happen to any keeper.

Ankergren kicked the ball right through to the leeds keeper who sent it back.

In our first season back Casper made a number of blunders.
Last year he let one against Forest go through him, it is not being selective, he is a perennial offender.


Walton however is not ready, if Kuszczak leaves, we'll need a new first team keeper. Gilks of Blackpool I would suggest.
