The Fish

Fish doing well.

That save from Idah was more a failure on the striker for me.

Well, its a confidence boosting move thats for sure,

I love this revisionism that's being spouted about the Fish.
OK, Martin's playing out from the back didn't help him, but he's the crappest keeper I've ever seen in a Swans shirt, and I've been going since 1967. He couldn't catch a cold, he froze with fear every time a shot or cross came in, and I shat myself every time the ball went near him. That is NOT a good sign.

But that’s what happens to a keeper with no confidence.

Celtic were poor, but if I were watching that game today without knowing how bad Fisher had been down here, I'd be thinking St Johnston had a very good goalkeeper on their hands.

Can only be a good thing for us in regards to getting a fee close to what we payed for him.

Can’t understand some of the hatred for fish, not on this forum but on other platforms. Didn’t see today’s game which he was involved in but had a decent game by all accounts. I think the football we played under Martin with a cb pairing of darling and Cabango who weren’t the greatest then, left him seriously exposed at times and didn’t help his confidence. I genuinely wish him well, going forward.

He's better than Jon McLaughlin as a backup to Vigouroux, in all my years of supporting the Swans, McLaughlin is the biggest waste of a wage than anyone else imho

To be fair a training cone is better than McLaughlin

The click bait headline for the sky sports highlights suggested it was a worldie of a save.
Watching it you can only say it was a failure of the striker, he hit the ball straight at Fisher.
Would have been harder to dive out of the way.

By all accounts though St Johnstone seem to be happy with him and he is having a positive confidence boosting time there. If we got 500k-1m for him with only a year left on his contract it would be excellent business.

Scottish Cup semi-final at Hampden, 3 pm: Celtic v St Johnstone. Let's see if the Fish can get another Man of the Match? (Hopefully not.)

Got Celtic in cup semi tmrw. Jesus wept.

Big pitch and lovely surface at Hampden, the Fish is going to have his work cut out this afternoon.

 

[Jack2jack]

Beyond any shadow of a doubt, the worst pure goalkeeper I've seen in my 35 years watching the Swans.

By "pure" I don't mean the bells and whistles like his passing ability, I mean just basic stuff like shot stopping, making himself look big in 1v1s, claiming crosses, etc. Have never seen a GK lack presence in the way he does.

The signing that more or less finished Martin off here.

'The signing that more or less finished Martin off here.'
Every cloud eh!

 

[monmouth]

The way he used to run back towards his line (often behind it) to make the goal bigger as a forward approached was a thing of beauty…for the opposition.

He’s utter crap.

 

[Swanjaxs]

A couple of decent saves first half, not much he could have done with any of the goals, Celtic purring...

Why "hopefully not"? I don't get that at all. He's our player, I'm not sure why you'd want him to fail
