Robert Green

Just seen his interview on QPR Player.

In almost every other "new player" interview I've seen, they get asked a question along the lines of:
"for those fans who don't know much about you, what can QPR fans expect from you?"

Fortunately, we had the good grace not to ask it this time.

Maybe they were afraid he'd fumble such an easy question?

Hughes said afterwards in the press conference that Green had noted in the warm-up that the strong glare of the floodlights could make it a problem when coming for crosses. Am prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt on this occasion.

[jmelanie]

Also don't forget he arrived late for the tour and hasn't had as much time to gell with the team.

[qblockoompah]

Gelling with the team should not affect his ability to catch, unless of course you were being sarcastic?

[ConorM1882]

Bottom line is that Green is still slightly unreliable/unpredictable, could make a brilliant save one minute and then make a balls of a simple shot the next! At least (other than for that one goal at the Ethiad in particular) Paddy Kenny was generally solid. I too would still rather Green than Kenny any day of the week but I hope he proves that he can produce a string of stable performances. Last thing you want is a Man Utd and Roy Carroll situation where you dread seeing the ball being played back to the keeper as you've no idea what he could do next.

Paddy was rubbish at crosses, he also let
In some dire goals last season, everton at home, WBA away for starters.. Green is much much better

Agree

[W4 R]

Paddy is one of the best shot stoppers around, but I've always said he is not quite tall enough to reach the long shots/ high crosses. Green will be more versatile/ solid.

Oh I agree 100% that Green is far better than Kenny, as I said I'd rather Green any day of the week, I just hope he can become reliable and cut out slip ups like his one yesterday!

[Will M]

Yeah, think we're all happy with Green. But you still have to laugh at such a big slip up not long into his R's career. Even the best keepers have made big clangers from time to time.

[Ric-Roc]

Twice as good as Kenny.

Some of the positioning & premature diving of PK last yr embarrassing & a new keeper was a must.

I'd rather Rob Green dropped a clanger in a nothing game than against Swansea.

Its what these pre season games are for.

at times paddy reminded me of a horse that 'jumps a shadow'.....as said solid shot stopper but not comanding enough at the top level imho!

Agree that we needed a new keeper and Rob Green is definitely a step up....but some tiny weakness in his mentality WILL result in him dropping the ball in a game that matters as well.........

Accept that... and then we can enjoy some top notch goalkeeping in between those rare abberations.....
