Beggars belief that we offload £32m worth of keepers and end up with this fella. I'm really wary of anyone else being sold as it's pretty obvious the replacements are massive downgrades.
It's almost as if selling a keeper for 30 mil and buying one for 500k doesn't result in the keeper you bought being 1/60th as good as the previous one. We're nuts.
 
Players as bad as him wouldn't really benefit from confidence, now don't they. If you are shit you are shit. Goalkeeping is, like many positions, all about skill and ability. Confidence does not have a direct influence on how well you do.
You seriously saying confidence does not directly influence how well you do? - especially a keeper!
 
Maybe it is a ploy be Grayson to draw Derby into a false tactical gameploy, then play Ruiter.
Doubt it, Steele and his agent will be kicking off most likely if that happens.

-Promised to play season opener via press conference.
-Named as substitute
 
going to be big pressure on Steele

he knows he's dropped for the foreseeable if he has another nightmare

i highly doubt it but he might thrive under it...
 
New low for the smb this. Usually players get a few games before becoming a scapegoat but Steele has got it after a friendly ffs

it's not just after a friendly though

i can't recall seeing him play but was pretty obvious he was going to be shite. just had to take a look at the Blackburn fans views on him. they were in disbelief we were paying a fee for the lad
 
Unfortunately Jack, a couple of Blackburn lads that I know reckon he's the worst goalkeeper they've seen at their club. A conversation recently went like this...
"Is he ok on corners?" I said.
"No, he doesn't panic, he just freezes", one of them replied.
"What about the back line - does he keep them organised, is good at that?" I offered.
"Nope, really bad at that", the other one said.
"How about kicking the ball a really long way, he must be able to that surely?" said I.
" Nah, shit - it'll go out of play on the half-way line quite a lot" said the other.
"I know. He has potential then - tell me he has potential", I asked in vain.
"No. He's shit. Really shit. You've got a dud. I can't believe anyone wants him. Something's badly wrong at your club. I thought we were in trouble with the Venky's. Good luck this season mate", he laughed.
We will see. Im a firm believer in speaking as you find and giving players a chance. New club. New beginning etc etc. I hope steele proves them wrong. I am trying to install optimism into myself. How long it lasts is another thing!
