You gave an example of a defender making an error allowing an attacker to pass to another to tap into an open goal...............


I was hoping that the example CJ gave would be immediately recognisable. The famous winner against  
FGR (h) made by the much missed vV. That was the first of 3 such similar examples I can recall!

Why did Cornell go straight for Roberts to bawl him out - surely if it was that blatant a foul he would have gone straight to the ref?

This thread will soon be competing with the redevelopment thread at this rate?
 Shocked

Can't believe you lot are still arguing about the "price of pencils" three days after the event. Move on to life's more important matters?

He doesn't get 'taken out' at all. He's hesitant to come out, mistimes his run, and is simply weak at coming for the ball, as he often is. I could count on the fingers of one hand the amount of times last season Cornell managed to successfully punch a ball away and on the fingers of my other hand the amount of times he came and claimed a ball into the box if there was even one player in the way. Whenever I see an opposition 'keeper in this division they do not have these problems and the 'keeper for Walsall the other week was another example.

Remember what Curle said he was looking for in a new 'keeper? He's well aware of this issue.

 Grin

I have never known an ‘Cobblers Fan’ to have such a downer on own player. Who will be the next player? Opinions are great (sorry Clarity) but this manipulation of flawed statistics to prove a point is a tad obsessive!

PS No more to add - so am out!

These stats are a guide and indicate that Cornell is a sub-standard shot-stopper in this league.


Erm...no.
Those 'stats' only tell you how many attempts at goal were converted against each club.
You've then introduced the keeper and decided the same ratios apply when clearly you have no fecking idea if that is the case.

I've already said I thought they were solid, i.e. 'decent' stops, but nothing exceptional. The header wasn't very powerful and while a solid save is one you'd expect to see stopped more often than not. He narrowed the angle well for the one-on-one, but that's it. If It had been Hoskins through on goal and finished as poorly as the Swansea player, he would have been slated on here, which says it all.

Your opinion that Cornell can be a good shot stopper is just that, your opinion. I question whether he is even an 'average' shot stopper for this division, hence there is no paradox in that he often drops 'clangers'.

The comparison with the Morecambe player was to highlight that even unprofessional, non-trained 'keepers are capable of making saves. Were the saves that player made any easier than those 'pretty good saves' made by Cornell against Swansea? If not, then why should a professional 'keeper be praised making saves which are more or less 'routine'? There was nothing remotely exceptional or 'above and beyond what is expected' about the saves he made against Swansea.
Correct. It is my opinion that Cornell can be a good shot stopper. I haven't used stats in coming to that belief. It is also my opinion that he drops the odd bollock. I haven't used stats in coming to that belief either. You've made it plain that you dont agree. That's why there is no paradox in your mind but one remains in mine.

I think we have a buy-back clause in his contract that gives us first option so could be a win-win all round.

Well, Swansea have just destroyed Cambridge 6-0 on the night (5-0 at HT).

Kind of puts into perspective how well the Cobblers played for a good 85% of the game that night, even though they threw it away towards the end.

Maybe the lads can take some confidence from this.
