I think the Barnet game has shown that Roos doesn't necessarily need come for crosses if you have central defenders that head everything. Goalkeepers that have to collect a lot of crosses maybe play behind defenders that are not particularly good in the air. If our defenders play like they did against Barnet then Roos will prove to be a good goalie for us.

He dropped a couple of high balls in his first match or two. Hardly ever have I seen so much angst and despair over so little :)

But to help those struggling to move on, and judge him on his excellent last half dozen games instead, maybe he changed his gloves

i think there are times when comments are not forgiving and pre established opinions control the narrative but i do understand the criticism. a lot of members on pon have been fair, giving him credit for improving but its different on social media which at times is ott. for me, his mistakes make me nervous, he can do well but he is prone to causing trouble. that said, he dont always get a fair reflection of his performances and notts fans have always been critical of keepers.

I never look at X or places like that @liampie. I thought it was bad enough on here and on podcasts, so I can well imagine how terrible it was elsewhere.

Yes, he made a slow and shaky start to a new job, but he stabilised and turned it around.

I keep on repeating this but I love the mentality when he receives the ball. He's in sync with most fans in looking for ways to start a new attack, even if it's a quick roll-out short. Other keepers we've had in recent years had different, old-fashioned instincts - I have the ball, safely safely, look all around, keep hold of it, let the lads push up. To me Roos is more like Kaspar, you can see he wants to be positive and start something.

We have been blessed in the keeper department for many years, that most haven't been seen as the reason for dropping points. I don't think Kelle Roos is at fault for our poor start, but he certainly contributed towards it and tends to make mistakes most natural keepers wouldn't. I want to see every player succeed, and I don't choose to single out players and that is why I am pleased with the progress he's been making.

I would much rather see him being voted for as the Man of the Match for when Notts have played well, than not. However, there's a lot of praise deserved in his direction for the fact we left Barnet with the 3 points.

It would have been an achievement had we drawn, considering the treat Barnet displayed and I hope we see more of this.

It's unfortunate that Roos hasn't built confidence amongst our supporters, but with more performances of this nature he might just do that. I want to feel like our keeper is protecting games, not ask risk of giving points away and sadly that is how Roos has come across for the most part of his time. Some poor decisions, and erractic behaviour cost us, but he's looking like he is improving which is promising.

True, but I think when you have a keeper that is confident enough to come and take crosses it takes the pressure off the defence to head everything away. He was solid yesterday but I would still like to see Roos try and be a bit more pro-active when it comes to dealing with crosses. I just feel like a keeper has such a big advantage here, they can jump with their hands in the air and get comfortably higher than any player can with their head.

i think some areas like to be the biggest moaners, happy when we win but confrontational if results dont go notts way.

i like seeing well thought out criticism, i dont like when its personal or just negative for the sake of it.

Two different goalkeeper coaches and still the same issue prevails with Roos, which tells you he won't learn or become any more comfortable with aerial balls.

We really missed a trick only signing one goalkeeper, but my theory is the board already saw what mess Gag brought in with Roos - you wouldn't want another "seasoned" goalkeeper with massive flaws on a big wage.

Just happy that it's now a priority as alluded to by Montague, which will mean that Griffiths and Perott will likely be shipped out on loan to get some experience.
