He kept a clean sheet for god sake. What more do you want from a keeper.....Least he has character. Anyone remember that nutty keeper that used to do the scorpion kick? lol...I say back him keepers need confidence
Nobody mentions the really tidy first time pass out to Wilson to set up an attack Or the fact that he made up for the error by forcing the guy wide The back pass was awful and he didn't cover himself in glory but it's how you react that is important
Mark my words - he will come good once he plays a bit more regularly
Thurman had nothing to do except one save which he made. The fans singing Hamer were daft IMO. I would rather a keeper could save a goal rather than kick the ball straight, both would be great but rare at our level. Good luck Thuram
The Hamer chanting was unfair, but the fact he kept a clean sheet is down the ineptitude of QPR and the likes of Michael Morrison being excellent in front of him. It's not as if he made save after save today
I don't get the sense that he commands the area. No harm in being unorthodox. However, I can't help the fact that he makes me nervous. Sat near CP today and he looked equally worried whenever Thuram was involved. Powell knows better than me. If he picks him, then so be it.
He didn't have much to do. Claimed the ball at the end well but sorry he is an accident waiting to happen. Passing to their centre forward was inexcusable, his kicking is erratic as well. You can tell the defence don't trust him, all is forgiven Ben come back soon.
Pretty sure that he had been told to kick to the wingers - it would have been the easy thing for him to do to kick straight down the pitch and say 'not my fault' when Reza and Churchy had no chance against the big QPR centrebacks. And Dervitte was totally at fault with that back-pass - he did well to get the team out of that.
I like him - that save was a huge turning point in the game and maybe even in our season.
The back pass was terrible, Dervite had an hour on the ball and ended up tw*tting it back to Thuram after nearly getting tackled, who then was forced to kick a ball that he wasn't ready for on a bobbly pitch. He had a good game and the chant was in bad taste, Hamer is a decent goalie but he's had a few howlers in his time with us....
I think its the first time I have ever seen and heard addicks not giving a player a chance from his first game, normally you get a few bell ends on here giving it loads, but as a whole cafc are an honestand forgiving bunch at first and give players a chance, yet Thuram is seen as all that is wrong with RD and his vision and I feel this site must accept that it holds some responsibility into the piss poor treatment of the man as in the 2 games I have seen him in, his kicking is no worse than deano and he has not really had that much to do, against Bhma he was beaten by 2 goals that were shockingly poor defending, and no blame could be attributed,
the reception and comments I heard at the ground today were not what CAFC is about normally and I think its wrong if the guy has had a chance and fucks it up slate him, but hamer makes more mistakes per game than he does
Thuram is up for it and he cares, hugged all his back four before kickoff and they kept a clean sheet. 100% Support for him as he was the conductor for our clean sheet. I thought Green was shit today but i would never abuse or heckle him while he was playing in the first Eleven. I dont like Powells brand of football but frpm kick off till the 90 minute i only vocally Support my team.
It's a shame this has to be mentioned given the result, but the chant was moronic and had the potential to undermine what was a superb performance by all 13 players that had played their part to that point.
The back pass to him by Dervite was far too heavy in those conditions - was no need to put him under pressure.
I know! Awful for a professional keeper to have to deal with that! Sacrilege!
Golden rules for a back pass
On the floor On preferred foot if possible Give a wide option But most importantly NOT on target. Never.
So a ball arriving at knee height and on target is pretty much the whole gamut! He should have handled that better but his reaction to force the striker wide and to not foul him in the process was important
Comments
Shit keepers need even thicker skin.
Then there's thuram.
He's a joke and the punchline won't be funny to us.
Or the fact that he made up for the error by forcing the guy wide
The back pass was awful and he didn't cover himself in glory but it's how you react that is important

I understand people's criticism's but at least make it constructive.
Calling him a 'clown' is muggy

Let's give the bloke a fair crack of the whip.
