Robin Olsen (The World's Number Two)

Can someone change that effing word filter that changes c-a-l-a-m-i-t-y to captain?

And PREViously to PERViously 😂

Struggling to think why that's a thing on here?

I'm drawing a blank too. David James is the only thing I can think of, but surely that's too old?

And I don't recall him being captain. But in any case, he predated this version of H&V by about ten years as you say.

The only other thing I can think of when Mings was going through a dodgy period of form. I can definitely imagine that word being used about him on a few match threads over the years.

But I feel that would have been recent enough that it wouldn't draw a complete blank with the word-filter.

[Risso]

Had a quick squint and I reckon it may have been to do with Elphick.

[Dave]

Yeah, that would also make sense. Seems nuts that he was ever Villa captain.

[Clark W Griswold]

He’s been good enough in his last 2 games to continue being an occasional stand in for us. So a big improvement from a player that made me want to enter the playing area, shove him out of the way after nicking his gloves and do it myself.
And with that in mind I’d like to see at least a few more much improved performances before changing my mind about buying another keeper in the summer but fair play things are looking better as it stands.

[PeterWithesShin]

He is what he is, an ok goalkeeper. Problem is he's replacing a contender for best in the world. And that's what we compare him with as the difference between them is far far bigger than it would be between most backups and first choice.

[PaulWinch again]

I think the problem is that we need a goalkeeper who can play the ball at his feet. To be honest Emi wasn’t the best at that, but he’s really improved. Olsen is terrible at it and it really undermines our whole approach. It’s less his keeping ability, he makes to odd error but he makes good saves too.

All done.

[dcdavecollett]

At least Olsen looks less terrified than he did a few months ago.

In other news, my Exeter-supporting mate continues to praise the performances of Viljami Sinisalo.

'The World's Number Two........' That was amusing on Wednesday.

[Footy-Vill]

Where does Joe Gaucci fit in all this ?

[Drummond]

He's our 3rd choice keeper (needed for Europe) developing for the future.

[Footy-Vill]

If we somehow dont make Champions League then I would think there's a gentleman agreement to sell Martinez.
As to be fair he has to be playing champions league.

Is this something you know from a source? Or experience in the game maybe?
