Ben Amos

Hi Guys

Charlton fan here.

Ben Amos is about to sign for us on loan, thoughts on him would be appreciated.

Oh mate don't even bother, most useless goalkeeper I've ever seen between the sticks for us and we've had some howlers over the years. Only ever got game time due to the fact we had no one else to rely upon and as soon as someone half decent came in he was out! I hated watching the bloke, never looked comfortable from the start! Can't even see him doing a job in League 1. Hope this helps mate

it didnt happen for him with us..left a couple of howlers in but truth be told got scapegoated for a few too.
was always going to be up against it replacing fans favourite and Cardiff City hero David Marshal.
hope it works out for him and yourselves.
nowhere near as bad as im sure a few will say he is.

Definitely not as bad as some on here will make out mate.

I always felt safe with his handling and he pulled off a few worldy saves that I can remember, but he did make a couple of errors too mainly down to his decision making due to his confidence being down, I'd say.

He's not a goalkeeper I'd want in the Championship and he will definitely make a mistake or 2 in the future, but I reckon he'll be a pretty solid bet in League One.

Pretty much this.

He did make a few mistakes but sometimes a keeper just needs a new club. We have had a few keepers who haven't been great on loan and done well elsewhere.

Name a keeper who has performed worse than he has for us in the past 10 years?

Amos was never really given a chance to settle but league 1 is probably his level. He will do well in that league

Enkleman has just been blamed for that cup final mistake, apart from that he was hardly a terrible keeper. Stuart Taylor wasn't as bad as Amos either. Konstantopolous came from Swansea so was never going to be taken in by the fans, but, as a keeper, he done a job! Ben Wilson has been our 3rd or 4th option and he's young and learning, yes he performed bad for us but I expected it from him, Ben Amos made mistake after mistake after mistake, looked completely lost and every shot that was on target they scored it seemed! Being honest, there is no worse keeper we've had. I honestly can't believe the support he's getting!

I agree about Enkleman thought he did well for us at a time we were struggling in goal.

Not sure how you can say that about Dimi though he made huge mistake after mistake, never seen anything like it, the fact he came from Swansea made no difference. He did go on to do well elsewhere though and it just goes to show how important it is for a keeper to have a good start at a club.

Dimi did make mistakes but I don't think it was as often as Amos did. Who would you say was better out of the two? I quite liked Dimi to be honest he did pull a few good saves out of the bag.

I can't recall who we were playing but I can remember us asking him to do the ayatollah and him looking over to Dave Jones completely confused as to what it was. Jones done the ayatollah which made things even more confusing for him! Well he didn't do it and cue the 'You Jack B@s!@rd' chants! He didn't know where to look haha still chuckle about it now

Dimi only played 6 games and I think it was his first two games he made huge mistakes, memory serves me right he dropped the ball into the net for an own goal then next came came out as a sweeper and totally missed the ball.

Made some decent reaction saves but pot shots from way out are likely to fly past him. I often wondered if he closed his eyes when someone takes a shot against him. Also paid far too much. If we hadn't been desperate we could haven't gotten far better value for money elsewhere.

Good Luck With That ONE
