Watching this video shows me he is much much better than anything we've had for a while. You didn't see any of these saves from our recent keepers. Streets ahead... Honestly, I’d rather watch the goals conceded than the saves. I think that gives you a better idea of what a goalkeeper is all about. He can kick a ball....that's a good sign!

Seems to be in distribution etc where he shines If we can have a statistically average Champ-standard keeper, who shines in the non shot-stopping areas, it'll be an upgrade. That's if you trust the word of Blur's bass guitarist. Should stick to cheese

Sarkic in the Championship with Birmingham. He faced 83 shots/headers on target. Conceded 29 goals (one was an own goal). Here's his save/goals map. View AttachmentPost shot expected goals was 25.7 (an average Championship keeper would have allowed 25-26 goals, OG's excluded). That's a shot stopping underperformance of around 8%, which just sneaks him into the top 20 of keepers who played at least 10 games in the 2021/22 season. For 2021/22 his shot stopping was below Davies and Bonham, but above Bursik and he hasn't yet done anything to justify the hype from the Birmingham fans ("best keeper in the league" was borderline delusional :-)) Good distribution. So is this a good signing? I trust your stats and I don't trust stats often.

Appreciate the data suggests its better to play Bonham from a shot stopping perspective. Does it confirm Bonham has poorer distribution? Is there data methodology in place which shows what the likely impact would be to the team, i.e. does improved distribution improve xga and xgf? Does it improve the Xga more than as a consequence of loss from poor shot stopping? As it stands, it doesn't really answer the reason we think Sarkic is the right man for the job.

When your trying get the ball up the pitch but league 2 standard Bonham is closer to Alex Neil than our striker then it does for me. I've lost count the number of times the last 3 4 games he's put it straight out, the blokes absolute shite.

Ah shit, I was hoping he was going to be the answer. I do feel like we’re using him to flush out Iverson. Is there a comparison of Sarkic v Iverson?

I've never had a go on an upright - always wondered how hard it is to switch between the two. My first bass had what I assume now were tapewounds. They were black and a had a smooth finish - really easy to play. I wrongly assumed flats would be the same when I was trying to emulate Steve Harris

Mind you it was a cheap no-mark bass at the time Never occurred to me bass strings as being high tension, but then maybe I'm just used to it. Or maybe it was just that guitar, if it was cheap maybe neck was too long or something. But yeah does rag your fingers a bit til you get used to it! 😅

Mind you it was a cheap no-mark bass at the time Yeah they're mental, like stringing your bass with train tracks. I've got Thomastic-Infeld Jazz on my Precision and upright, great sound and much easier on the fingers. Incidentally Davethebass - is that a longhorn Jazz in your avatar photo? I've got one of these too...

Good distribution, and confidence and ability with the ball at feet, will definitely result in less goals conceded and also contribute to more goals scored. That's probably going to more than compensate for a slight dip in shot stopping stats. Lol and thanks for putting up with us

And the only mature Cheddar I've found lately that's like the stuff we used to get is online Genuine Cheddar should still be available. Most Supermarkets should stock Wookey Hole "Cave Aged" Cheddar in small wrapped blocks. That's what we Somerset locals tend to go for! Edit: On one of our more popular websites you can actually watch a round Cheddar Cheese ageing, by virtue of a webcam ! And who says that Somerset locals are slow and dull!

Was some Jamaican friends introduced me to flats, said they're better for the reggae style cos although they don't have that twang and sparkle you get with new round wounds, there's more bass tones and a more rounded sound with flats, plus they keep their tone for longer, so its cheaper! I guess its just become the sound I prefer, whatever style I'm playing

I wrongly assumed flats would be the same when I was trying to emulate Steve Harris I'd wondered that too about stand ups but had a go on one one day and was surprised I could play it straight away, and I reckon you could too. Wouldn't mind getting one to be honest.

I've got one of these too... It's an Aslin Dane, Danish company. Was only about £300 but its good for the price. Fretboard's some kind of high tech composite material instead of wood and guaranteed never to warp. If the neck warps they give you a new guitar, like Zippo lighters lol.
