Don't Knock The Ox

[Dashing Bob S]

Yes, Oxley is out for the semis, but some people seem to think we'll be bringing in Claudio Bravo instead of an untested keeper. Oxley has his flaws, but he isn't THAT bad. I think we still suffer from Zibi-Clown syndrome, whereby every mistake a keeper makes is amplified in the stands.

Well said.

Have to agree - when you see some of the howlers EPL goalies make I think we need to give the big man a break.

Zibi has basically ruined the career of every goalie since him, any goalie playing for hibs wondering why the fans are so apprehensive and edgy needs to just watch some of his performances for hibs.

Its all about opinions. We should always be looking to improve the team and build on what we have. IMO Oxley is far from great and has a mistake in him every game. For a big guy he is certainly uncertain at set pieces and corners in particular. A good keeper saves you a certain amount of points per season I don't think we get that from Oxley. A position we should be looking to improve on certainly if we manage to get promotion.

I'm no Oxley hater and thought the idea of dropping him for Virtanen was ridiculous. But now that he's def out for the semi the young keeper needs some time to bed into the team and prepare himself for the semi. Ideally he is phenomenal and replaces Oxley, if not, hopefully he can do a decent enough job and we can welcome back the Ox for the run in.

Oxley played well tonight.

Unfortunately Mark Oxley cannot compete and take a cross !

[H113EE5]

No sympathy. He's got previous. His goal kicks takes forever and I'm sure he thinks the game revolves him.

[The_Horde]

We'll get it rescinded.
