If Heaton's nerves/confidence issues are correct then Marshall every day of the week.

Heaton.

Neither for me. We need a keeper who will command the box and come for crosses

think we'll see a improvement in both our keepers this season now margetson has gone. i'd go for marshall though

Mackay will choose Marshall but both are very good IMO i like both of them do NOT need a new keeper

Re: heaton or marshall?

Heaton although it is very close between the 2, hopefully the competition between them makes them both better player :ayatollah:

Re: heaton or marshall?

Marshall every day of the week :ayatollah:

Re: heaton or marshall?

Marshall all day long!

Re: heaton or marshall?

Wed Jul 06, 2011 12:56 pm

Heaton is the better overall keeper, but Marshall is the better shotstopper so either for me

Re: heaton or marshall?

Wed Jul 06, 2011 12:56 pm

Neither for me unless a new coach can teach them how to boss the area and the defenders. more organisation in the back needed

close call between them.. has marshall recovered from his operation??

think id go with heaton.

Re: heaton or marshall?

Wed Jul 06, 2011 1:01 pm

marshall was in training so he must have recovered :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

WHY do people pick Marshall ?! I am staggered every time someone chooses him before Heaton ! :shock:

Anyone care to remember his performance in the play-off final !

Re: heaton or marshall?

Heaton :ayatollah:

Re: heaton or marshall?

I can't get my head around all this Heaton and his nerves business.... ?

I can't see him being nervous and anxious ? He's played most of the season and in some big games! Nerves dont just hit you just because you might be playing in a playoff semi-final..... Either somebody has taken it out of context or it is made up bollocks IMO.

Personally I think Marshall & Heaton are on quite a level pegging on who's better than who - as each have their strengths and weaknesses! If I really had to chose though, an on-form Scotlands no.1 for me! :D :ayatollah:

Re: heaton or marshall?

Wed Jul 06, 2011 1:17 pm

Both good keepers at this level, although i prefer Heaton, His absense was clear for all to see in the play-offs and the run-in IMO. :ayatollah:

Re: heaton or marshall?

or should we get a new kepper? :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

Re: heaton or marshall?

I can't see why people see our GKs as weak links or a real problem.

Both are good Championship Gks, both are still very young for their position and have experience as a first team regular.

Yes they don't have great attributes when it comes to collecting crosses but both are agile, loud, good shot stoppers, have decent distribution from hand (although a little slow at times).

I feel that most of Heaton's confidence problems last year stemmed from our back 4 being all over the place from the word go.

Hopefully a solid back 4 with Super Kev, Hudson/Gerrard, Keinan and Taylor will bring some confidence back.

Re: heaton or marshall?

Happy with either keeper in but I think Heaton just about pips it.

Re: heaton or marshall?

Wed Jul 06, 2011 2:19 pm

Despite what anybody says we're spoilt with two quality GK's at this level. They both have their faults but hopefully a new manager and new GK coach will be able to address their weaknesses. Given the choice though I think I would go for Marshall, overall better GK. Who ever is No. 1 needs to know their No. 1 - GK's need that sort of backing and confidence more than any other position.

Heaton

No point buying a new keeper, waste of money, both competent keepers, lets not forget Goalkeepers generally peak at 28-30 years old, Heaton is 25 and Marshall is 26, both will improve
