What is Ankergren still doing at the club?

[Puppet Master]

It's comments like that that make it clear that you're clueless. Ankergren is a very good League 1 keeper and a decent Championship back up.

Aimed at the Conference keeper comment by the way. I think Walton may well be number two this year.

[edited] please, Ankergren is far from decent at this level and will cost us points, as he has proven time and time again.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

His overall record at this level for us is...

P23 W11 D5 L7 F34 A26

Points average equates to 76 over the course of a season. Over half of those games were away from home.

 

[Don Quixote]

Wasn't he our goalkeeper when we came tenth?

 

[Peterrhodes]

He is extremely poor. Flaps at crosses, stays on his line when things need dealing with and when shots are not at him they generally go in. Have only seen Walton v Lewis but already have more faith in him.

If anyone is going to cost us points in goal I would prefer it to be Walton as at least it's for the sake of blooding the youth.

Can't believe we gave such a poor keeper a new contract.

 

[London Irish]

The goals yesterday looked poor

 

[Rookie]

Good experienced back up who is a key member of the changing room apparently. When our No 1 comes in (and he will) he will sit on the bench without any toy throwing and help develop Walton (who I would personally loan to a southern league 2 club to get some much needed experience).

So did PIG. All keepers make errors, the ones who make less are playing top flight. As far as a No 2 in the Championship goes, I would say with have a sound one.

I can't believe how ignorant people are. I think I'll trust the club rather than people on an Internet forum.

However, your second point is ridiculous. So you'd rather put Walton in the team before he's ready and then possibly affect his confidence if he makes a mistake. What a ridiculous comment.

There's no point arguing with someone who genuinely thinks there are better keepers in the Conference than Ankergren.

Ankergren is a top keeper at number 2. It is seriously difficult to come into a team for one game every now and then as a goalkeeper and not be nervous or uncomfortable in that position. We also forget that in the League One winning team he kept a large number of clean sheets and made some top saves. Unfortunately, all people seem to remember from that season is an error in the very first game of the season.

Apparently, according to the thread starter, the clean sheets in the League One championship were all down to the defence and nothing to do with Ankergren.

Chillax, are you not familiar with exaggeration?

 

[shaolinpunk]

Because he's good enough to be backup, but not good enough to insist on higher wages or being the number one 'keeper.

Backtracking. At least you admit you were wrong. Thanks

You're weird.

 

[BrianWade4]

Loyal, adequate back-up

Not sure you have ever watched Ankers but he does a great deal in palming shots back into the middle of the area where opposing teams invariably then score. Must admit his distribution is better than Pigs ever was though

 

[herecomesaregular]

Short memories on here - had a great season when we won the league, never had a tantrum when dropped, great with the ball at his feet, unfairly maligned when he has come back in for the odd game and then dropped a clanger due to being understandably rusty. Happy to have him here while Tony does his slowly slowly catch the monkey transfer dealings.

 

[Rogero]

Your a fool if you believe Ankergren will be our first choice keeper this season.

I would suggest his experience will be invaluable to Walton and our new number one once the season starts.

Yes I agree ,you are an absolute idiot if you believe that.an absolute idiot.

Should have offered TK another contract on less money if he accepted then released Ankergren as well as Brezovan
