A shame for Ashley not making the squad but he's got many more chances to do so. It is most certainly good news for us.
Harry Isted - who has only had one impressive game thus far - looks some way from fitness and the prospect of Walker in goal is very worrying.0 -
I imagine the decision was made based on long term benefit for Australia amd AMB.
If the plan was for hik to be 2nd or 3rd choice in the tourni, can see why they thought it best for his development to leave him playing at CAFC0 -
Is this the start of the world realising AMB is not the next best goalkeeper ever?2

Gethin Jones is the most Welsh sounding name I’ve ever heard!killerandflash said:Gethin Jones in the squad is the one who plays for Bolton, who up until now has considered himself welsh

Has anybody heard him speak? Looking at the 2nd goal, he's just getting the ball out of the net with his head down like a schoolkid playing with people he knows he has zero influence/respect from.0

What was Isted’s injury again? Full season one?0

He needs time out of the spotlight0

The ball always seems to go past him..0

AMB is a good summary of our team as a whole. Capable of moments of absolute brilliance but also capable of forgetting how to do the basics all in the same game. It's not really good enough as I think we'd be better off with a team of players who do the basics well consistently even if we lose the top end moments. I'm looking forward to Isted being available again

100% this. He never speaks nor is spoken to. No high fives from his defence if he makes a save, no slaps on their backs from him if they save his bacon. He's utterly mute. He looks like a work experience kid. For me he's the main reason we are so leaky. The defence have no faith in him. And his ability to dive out the way of penalties is getting right on my nerves.Has anybody heard him speak? Looking at the 2nd goal, he's just getting the ball out of the net with his head down like a schoolkid playing with people he know he has zero influence/respect from.
Alas his only competition is that abomination who played against Cray. I'm afraid I lack the basic respect to even look his name up. So we are stuck.1 -
He's clearly got ability, but badly needs a personality transplant, as he's far too quiet . He needs to dominate his area AND his defenders, and I don't know how easy it is to coach that.0
-
I've just found some interviews with him on YouTube. I'd agree with the post above.0
-
Maybe he needs a sparkly mask5

I thought Istead was looking decent at the point he got injured, hopefully he’ll get back in when fit2

ok, but if he was a fantastic shot stopped and “dominated his area” would he really be playing in League One?killerandflash said:He's clearly got ability, but badly needs a personality transplant, as he's far too quiet .

I think, for this division, he’s decent and we have much bigger issues in the squad where we have players who aren’t even good enough for this level. At a higher level his deficiencies would hold us back, but cross that bridge…1 -
Yeah really don’t think Ash was the problem today. He faced 29 shots7

Sorry... but he's not. He's got a decent save in him occasionally but that's about it and that's just not good enough. The defence is badly organised and indecisive as a whole - not completely his fault to be fair but he's certainly a contributory factor, and some of his decision making is just bizarre.se9addick said:

He looked useful when he first came in but I don't know if a string of unlucky injuries and collisions literally knocked the confidence out of him but a new keeper is definitely on the shopping list if we ever want promotion.

We need a good experienced goalkeeper as a starting block we do not have that at the club unfortunately. Every game I analyse the opposition goalkeeper against AMB and I find it hard to remember a really poor goalkeeper that has played against us most of them always make a few brilliant saves during the game and all seem to really be in tune with their defenders and are good on the ball and command their areas . My point is you would hope your goalkeeper would make some vital saves every match as in AMB case but he doesn’t have good distribution or command his area at all and I haven’t seen enough of Istead yet . We also lost our academy goalkeeper James Beadle to Brighton oh yes he is on loan to Oxford and looked quite good against the other week .0

I dont think hes good enough. There always seems to be panic around him, often in situations of his own making. Clearing the ball, or taking goal kicks is never straightforward, having the two centrebacks on the six yard box is ridiculous when he should just kick it himself. It often takes ages to get the ball to the opposition half. Theres no sense that he commands the goal area.0
-
He made some v good saves today to keep us in it. Agree he’s not dominant enough though. But Istead isn’t either.0
-
It's funny because despite him dropping a couple of clangers, he was still one of our better players. Made some top saves to keep us in it until the end0
-
Yes, Ben Hamer was a great shot stopper and commanded the area we'll, the amount of times even in a packed Valley you'd hear him scream "KEEPERS, UP, AWAY!!!!" or something similar, rising high to collect a cross. Phillips was loud too, and so were a couple of the other keepers we had. In fact I'd argue this is one of the few periods since Kiely where we don't have a decent keeper, the only other times that really stand out to me were Weaver, Thuram-Ulien, and MacGillivray.se9addick said:

All this he doesn't get near a penalty crap. I have an idea, the people in front of him should stop giving them away softly!1

Our current keepers aren’t good enough for a promotion team. Keep one as back up, but we need a better No.1 for next season’s mid table push…4
