champions Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 1 minute ago, Russ said: His last game was away to Montrose where he saved a ball a penalty and generally had a decent game. He was dropped the next week. He may have saved a penalty but his general play was poor if remember correctly. Pretty sure it was a loose throw from him that led to one of their goals. Montrose is a decent away day so my memory is hazy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocco Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Mutch was rightly dropped. He’d been dreadful and had made a lot of mistakes. Martin came in and looked better, however, he has massively regressed and needs replaced 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Part of a process sanctioned by a BOD, which leaves us with a bunch of absolute shite. If someone was to ever manage to find their reports on the 20 point profiles of each player Holt brought in then that would be gold. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TedCrilly Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I rate Mutch as a better keeper but he wasn’t unfairly dropped at the time. I’d guess he’d have been back in goal if he hadn’t picked up an injury. Looking back, Mutch cost the goal and defeat against QP then was a shambles (as was everyone) against Alloa. The first goal against Dumbarton between those two displays was very questionable as well. I remember it being a surprise to most that he got a start against Montrose. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Proudtobeabairn Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Mutch isn't much of an upgrade on Martin. A solid experienced keeper would make less mistakes and also organise the defence better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miller puts on the effort at least but is prone to sell the jerseys whilst hetherington just does very little. As said both are shite, Miller has cost us so many goals it’s frightening….. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately his replacement has proved to be even worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ecosse83 Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 I think it’s clear we need a new goalkeeper, defence is murder but a better keeper would improve us massively 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Improve them and you might see your keeper gaining a bit of confidence and improving somewhat. Improve the keeper though and the poor bugger will still have hall and Mackay in front of him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BudBairn Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Could understand the 1st two, in fact the top one is heavily rumoured but Scott Fox has just signed a new deal with Motherwell. Didnt know that, fox would have been a good signing for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 22, 2022 Share Posted January 22, 2022 Thinking back, yes, Mutch had become less than dependable. One of his stand out gaffs was the Cup game we won up at Gayfield. The goal he gave away that day was like something from a 14 year old school goalie. The guy was suffering from a major confidence crisis when he was dropped, and Martin is now in exactly the same place……I think the duffers in the defence haven’t helped either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A solid experienced keeper would make less mistakes and also organise the defence better. I've been one of Mutch's biggest critics, seen him pull of world class saves in the reserves then throw one in afore he became our No1. His brief starts afore that always had a blunder in him but he did have a purple patch for a period. He may have went more forward if we had an experienced keeper in, the majority have been similar aged keepers or ones with not a great deal of experience.

The amount of one on ones we give to the opposition is criminal, any keeper is onto a hiding to nothing in those situations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
