purestate Posted yesterday at 03:48 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 03:48 PM These saves are all very well but where’s the showreel of him playing sweeper and triangles in his penalty area? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grizzlyg Posted yesterday at 04:17 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 04:17 PM Word on the street is his name is Alex Paulsen 🤪🤪 Looks like a potentially good signing and hopefully Matty can mount a challenge also so we have healthy competition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MFCL84 Posted yesterday at 05:01 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 05:01 PM Some very scary footwork in that Paulsen video. He does seem to enjoy dribbling the ball out of the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Posted yesterday at 05:17 PM Author Report Share Posted yesterday at 05:17 PM Rene Higuita was a master at that. He'd be worth a fortune these days with how teams play. Instead, he was seen as a novelty maniac back then when he was clearly ahead of his time. Saying that, he did get jailed for being part of a kidnapping fiasco involving Pablo Escobar, so maybe he was a maniac regardless. He could hit a tasty free kick as well...

MFCL84 Posted yesterday at 06:54 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 06:54 PM I don't want to see.any of that at Fir Park. I want my goalie to be very sensible and level headed. Hugh Sproat was as flamboyant a keeper as I ever want to see at Fir Park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kmcalpin Posted yesterday at 07:56 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 07:56 PM His official height is 6-0. Presumaby then, Matty is 5-10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad Dog Posted yesterday at 08:15 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 08:15 PM Some of those saves make me think of Gunnar Neilsen's showreel with the way that he flaps at shots. Looks good with his feet though, so hopefully he'll turn out to be an asset. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same quality's as Ward biggest asset is passing it out to start things off hopefully will be better than Ward in the other departments. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks good with his feet though, so hopefully he'll turn out to be an asset. Seems to be agile and a very good shot stopper. Apparently played outfield early in his career and looks to be comfortable with the ball at his feet. Likes to save penalties as well. Should be a good fit for our system. At first sight similar to Callum Ward, even down to the transfer fee. Not the biggest keeper in the world and I doubt he'll make it in the Premier League but good enough to help us out in our hour or season of need. There's bucketloads of very good keepers in England so he'll have plenty of competition if he returns down there. I always think that loans can be risky but in our situation, we probably didn't have much choice. I suspect he'll be our no 1 and therefore I feel sorry for Matty Connelly but I can't ever see him being anything more than back up at best for us.

Motherwell Daft Posted 11 hours ago Report Share Posted 11 hours ago Glad to see the club have moved fairly quickly to sign up on loan Alex! Welcome to the best wee team in the world! Alex looks to have good statistics and at first glance a good addition for us as No 1 and Ox or Connolly as back up. Hopefully now we see new additions in defence, midfield and strikers quickly to roll the new boys out on Friday night and all in place before the potential Euro banana skin!

Desperate for Matty to succeed but after a good few years I wonder if he’s best moving to get regular action Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weeyin Posted 3 hours ago Report Share Posted 3 hours ago It's often a challenge for young keepers to break through at their parent club. You can see that across the leagues. As a result, until they hit their late twenties or older, a keeper's career seems to be a series of loans or training every week as 2nd or 3rd choice. It's a tough gig. I don't think Connelly in the Hibs game was any worse than the first few performances from Ward, so I still think he can develop into a decent keeper.

mio Posted 2 hours ago Report Share Posted 2 hours ago Connelly’s performance at Hibs was the first time I felt that there was a bit of potential there, I thought he had a really good game. I’d certainly be happy keeping him as 2nd choice. I’m hoping the new keeper looks as good as his showreel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
