Just Sportscene highlights so will bow down to other opinions admittedly. I've just got this very weird hang up with weirdly shaped keepers and I think that explains my dislike for Alnwick, Kelly and infamously for me, Kevin Cuthbert & Craig Hinchcliffe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeTillEhDeh Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Interesting to see folks thoughts at the end of the window. Celtic apparently about to sign Joe Hart on a 3yr deal...Relegation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tony Wonder Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 (edited) 34 minutes ago, ATLIS said: Top 5 probably has to be (in no order) Siegrist McGregor Alnwick Kelly Stryjek No Gordon in the top 5 goalies in the league He was making great saves nearly every week last season, so the level of opposition doesn't come into it. He also pretty much won us the semi against Hibs last year and got us all 3 points on Saturday. He's quite simply a sensational shot stopper that rarely makes a mistake, and that's not really changed.

Guest Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 Not sure he won the game for them but made a decent string of saves, just needs to translate into season long consistencyAbsolute wild take, arguably our most consistent player last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Losing Hladky, who was an excellent 'keeper, was a huge blow to us. However, it speaks volumes for Alnwick's abilities, that Hladky has all but been forgotten about, as Alnwick is as good as, if not better than Hladky. Over the past few years Lewis and McGregor stand out, although Lewis had some absolute howlers last year. IMO Kelly, Siegrist and Alnwick are of a similar standard. Gordon is a very good 'keeper, but since he was down with the diddies last season, we can wait and see how he performs against better quality of teams. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Yeah Alnwick is most definitely a terrific shot stopper and a very good goalkeeper. He is prone to the odd moment though, where you’re asking if he could of done better. Definitely think he’s a better keeper than Stryjek and probably on par with Kelly. Siegrest is better than both however. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genuine Hibs Fan Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Tbf continuing to call someone "shagger" after sexual assault allegations (no idea what happened with those though) is a bit weird, regardless of why he got the nickname in the first place 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to refer to him as Greegsy but I also use shagger to be fair. It’s not something I’d given too much thought to as it’s been something he’s been referred to for a long time. He was cleared regarding the sexual assault allegations so it’s not something that plays too heavily on my conscience. That’s not to say I am playing down sexual assault whatsoever, just of the opinion if he has been cleared of wrong doing then why should it change anything? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craigkillie Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Gordon is comfortably in the top 2 and it's not even close. The ball isn't a different size and the goals aren't smaller in the lower leagues, his performances there can quite obviously be taken into account. Laughable to suggest that the likes of Stryjek and Kelly are anywhere near him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
