STFC v Coventry Friendly

[Flashheart]

I remember RCC being very decent to begin with. Then I think he made a mistake and his confidence was shot after that

that's how I remember it . certainly in the league anyway

after that drop at Lincoln he was dogshit. we can all agree on that at least

[Peter Venkman]

RCC saved a penalty on his debut at Cheltenham but was awful for the 2 conceded, also at fault in his 3rd game vs Lincoln, another defeat at home.

He is probably the worst keeper I have ever seen at Swindon, but thats just my opinion.

Nope he still looked shit in those, some terrible keeping.

Watch his flap vs Lincoln, and that was 2 of his first 3 games.

Opinions on keepers seem to range more widely than for any other type of player. Most keepers probably save about 90% of the same shots, it’s the extra 10% that makes the difference. The shots you don’t expect them to save, the distribution and dealing with crosses. RCC in his first few games saved the 90% without any obvious clangers so some interpret that as decent but he was always very suspect with crosses and when a keeper can’t do something as basic as catch a ball 1st time on a regular basis you know there’s something fundamentally wrong, much like the amount of times he didn’t even bother diving.

Swindon have David James in goal.

As Batch says the first 60 mins we bossed the match in every position, thats good enough for me no matter what the final score.

Yep.

Very much this, its not always what you save its what you don't but should.

If we start with that first 11 I’ll be more than happy. Baxter looks a find. Great distribution and safe hands. Caddis’ fitness will come. Payne looks like everything isgrove wants to be. Smith will get 20 +
DJ is such a huge signing for us.
Palmer and twine looked the only decent subs.
Going up as champions

[Barry Scott]

I've just tried to make streamable work, so this should be the highlights with any luck.

[Legends-Lounge]

Coventry fans on their forum saying we looked easily the better side and how good a prospect Twine looks.

Sell him quick!

To quote a cricketing term, RCC had hard hands which is terrible for a professional level keeper, the ball bounced off him rather than getting smothered.

Hopefully we can find a league 2 club to take him on loan and prove himself at that level. Looking at our front 3 and players Wellens will like be after he’s not going to get a look in here.

I think in the National league he would be amazing, a loan to L2 would be good if we could find a team that would take him, get him up to speed by January, at Swindon hes a decent backup but he is unlikely to start in front of Hope, Smith, DJ or Payne....and thats before we sign anyone else.

Its obvious he has potential he needs game time now.

Ditto. At this level, even though it is the lower end of the EFL pyramid, confidence is a massive part of these players psychological make up. Skill training et also but you could be the best goalie in the world, fuck up and then you’re shite there after. Small margins.

First competition victory of the season.  Winners of the PPG Champions Cup!!

Well, based on that we can be fairly positive we won’t get relegated!
