Goalkeeping isn’t all about what you’re doing in the moment. It’s also very much about organizing and communicating. Nyland is passive and weak both in word and deed. A top professional goalkeeper does not allow those types of goals to get scored if he’s communicating and being aggressive. If he does allow goals like Forest’s fourth to fly past him, then he’s dishing out an absolute bollocking to Hourihane and Grealish for standing and watching the guy take three touches forwards before shooting.Nyland getting an unfair amount of stick, again.
Having watched the goals again and again and again, I can honestly attribute one goal to Nyland, as a goalkeeping error. Forests fifth, there really is no possible excuse for a keeper to be beaten at his near post, especially from such an angle.
The other four goals he did nothing wrong, on another day, with a bit of luck, he would have saved their second and third goals by doing exactly what he did.
He was left hanging out to dry for their first goal. The fourth, Lolley's strike, I don't think there is a goalkeeper playing today who would have moved for it, the shot was a mover, dipping and swerving. It hit the back corner of the net because of the swerve and dip.
Sorry but conceding 7 goals at home in 2 games is cause for massive concern. The keeper situation is farcical, the defence are like a chocolate fire guard. This is not promotion form.
Correct about Hourihane but he was already in a last ditch tackle situation which went horribly wrong. I blamed them both for this one.You say Chester was out of position for the first two goals but, I think it was the second goal, he was on the floor near the halfway line, having been put there by a missed tackle from one of his own players, Hourihane I think. How can he be blamed for that.

The bottom line, It's 2 vital points dropped.
I was just reading that and thought Jimmy Rimmer! He would have beasted them. He'd never have got away with marking his area the way he used to though!Goalkeeping isn’t all about what you’re doing in the moment. It’s also very much about organizing and communicating.

He’s simply not good enough (right now) and we can’t afford to wait for him to get better if we want to have a decent season.
At the very least, as a keeper you need an aggressive personality. It’s no coincidence that, going all the way back to Jimmy Rimmer, our best keepers have been unafraid to dish it out and been vocal... If Hourihane had been playing in front of Bosnich, James or Friedel he’d have been legitimately scared for his well being after that fourth goal....
100% correct Deano. The player took a classic “set up touch” which is a goalkeeper’s indication to get on your toes and be easy to make a save....You don't think he should have saved the long range effort? He was stood in the centre of the goal. The ball went into the centre of the goal. He didn't even move.
So flat footed it's untrue.

Sorry, extremely pinickity of me, but this is a myth that is utter rubbish. Ask any pro keeper or someone working with keepers at that level and they'll tell you. To be fair, anyone who is a keeper and receiving decent coaching knows it. There was a good video explaining it a couple of months back on the Beeb if I recall correctly.
