Kelle Roos

[milne_afc]

Roos is massively under appreciated. Very good goalie for our level.

[minijc]

Danny Ward was fantastic, if you ignore the fact that any shot on target went in.

I do not understand the hate this guy gets. He's continental so he does the punching clear thing which isn't the norm for us but he does a fundamentally good job. He's certainly pulled off a heap of good saves over the games. 

Only thing I think he's suspect on - and I don't get why this seems to be the case still with keepers - but his kicking out is absolutely erratic at times.

What hate?

Oh okay, is it word police time? 🙄

Ok the disrespect and disregard as to his capability. That better for you? 👍

I've mentioned it before,  he lost a lot of goals from distance,  he was only really rated on here as he took over from clangers

[Woolenrouge]

Roos is another player who has benefitted hugely from the departure of one defender and the arrival of two others.

Better than Kjaer? 

Better than Lewis' first 3-4 seasons?

He's certainly been more than decent since he returned from injury but I think he's got a fair bit to do to overtake those 2 yet

Leighton second spell as well

[Zeus]

World class.

Dutch international by the end of year

The mistake you've made here is engaging with that particular poster

Absolute torture 

[Tord31]

Roos is a decent keeper. One less problem for this summer.

He's not quite done enough to be throwing more cash and an extension at him yet. Let's see in 4-5 months time.

Was Goodwin not seriously saying he should be in the Dutch squad at one point? 

[Don_Corleone]

I think we need to bring in another keeper who will challenge him next season, but the way he's played since he came back from injury I'd be happy with him in the sticks next season. He's made some great saves and seems to work well with the defensive unit we've got. 

[dave_min]

He’s been decent the second half of the season. Perfectly capable in the SPL, but questions about him in Europe next year.

Fuck the Jambos.

[Big Hat Logan]

He’s one of the best keepers in the league. Hugely under-appreciated. In fact I wouldn’t take any other top flight keeper over him other than maybe Craig Gordon but even then he’s about done

Aye. Not sure he was talking about fitba squad though! 

[englishred]

Definitely good enough for us but as others have said a decent number 2 to push him would certainly help.

Few things annoy me on here but the pedants and dictionary corner spangles drive me up the wall.

Aye it'll be interesting to see what happens with the keepers this summer.

I'm still expecting Joe Lewis to move on. Which poster was it again that's betting with me on that?

Ritchie has another year but surely will be loaned out for the season? 

[Andy_123]

Finding a number 2 who’s happy to be in that role but is actually good enough to contribute when required is hard to find.

Can’t think of many decent number 2’s we’ve had in recent years.

[aberdeen1970]

We should bring someone in to compete. 

I don't agree with this first, second, third choice mentality. We need guys that are going to stretch each other if we want to improve. We need a squad not just 11, everyone will play a part especially if we have group games in Europe.

Number twos are usually shite…

Joe Lewis and Neil Alexander then Joe Lewis and Cerny were of a very high standard after the disappointed of Brown/Collins post Danny Ward exit.

Probably struggling after that? Roos/Lewis was meant to be a strong combo but Lewis has been one of the worst goalies in the top flight since Covid really. He totally lost it in that long break.

Cerny was who I thought of.  I'd forgotten about Alexander.  Didn't he leave in a bit of a huff because he thought he was going to be number 1 but failed to dislodge Lewis?

Not sure if it was quite a huff but the two of them were signed as no1 standard to battle for the spot and Lewis played every single game that season if i remember right

I'm sure Off the Ball did a bit a few years ago about back-up keepers, especially third choice keepers.  If I remember correctly the listeners threw in a couple of names of professionals who'd spent their whole career as second or third choice at various big clubs in Europe.  They'd had highly paid careers in football but only ever made a handful of first team appearances.

I guess Hearts are the perfect example this season of why you need two first team quality keepers. But then again fuck Hearts

We are the perfect example of why you need two first team quality goalkeepers.

Roos gets injured, Lewis takes his place and we concede 14 goals in 3 League games. Plus conceding a goal to a part time bricklayer.  

Not that it was entirely Joe’s fault but he should of done better for a lot of the goals we conceded

I think he was maybe a full time bricklayer & part time footballer 🤔
