FTOF Posted June 28, 2023 Report Posted June 28, 2023 Thought I'd start a new topic for a new player. Hope you do well at the club and make No.1 your own. Quote
WeeBud Posted June 28, 2023 Report Posted June 28, 2023 (edited) Welcome Zach and good luck between the sticks in your time at St Mirren, there's a decent squad around the place and a great coach in JL. Edited June 28, 2023 by WeeBud Quote

What I thought was telling from the game on Saturday was how well we defended our box, almost every attempt from Motherwell was from outside the penalty area. Quote
exiledfan Posted September 18, 2023 Report Posted September 18, 2023 I hope we can keep him for a few seasons. Win win both us and Zach. We get stability between the sticks and Zach gets first team football and development from Langfield who seems an outstanding coach. Quote

The Original 59er Posted September 21, 2023 Report Posted September 21, 2023 I have a slightly different take on the subject. Re Carson I thought he was an inch or two too small and thus struggled a wee bit on crossed balls. Re Hemming, I think he has good reactions, but is nervous on committing to crossed balls in a slightly crowded box. I will reserve judgement up to Christmas who I prefer. Quote

Re Hemming, I think he has good reactions, but is nervous on committing to crossed balls in a slightly crowded box. I will reserve judgement up to Christmas who I prefer. All entitled to our opinions 59er but I thought, on Saturday at least, he commanded his box really well and committed to and came for every cross ball. Quote
Swiss_Saint Posted September 21, 2023 Report Posted September 21, 2023 I also thought on Saturday his taking of crosses was really good. Warming to the lad nicely and think he could well be another in a long line of good keepers we have been blessed with. Quote
The Original 59er Posted November 6, 2023 Report Posted November 6, 2023 I'm getting there sooner than I initially thought, and if the quote is true the help from Langfield is making him into a really good all round goalie. Quote
BanburyBud Posted January 3 Report Posted January 3 Welcome back but slightly confused by this, unless balcombe is on his way? personally I don’t see a great deal of difference in their ability although I don’t think balcombe is that tall for a keeper. Quote

Both good shot stoppers. Both poor at crosses. Quote

I thought immediately that Balcombe was out the door. Given the timing, I don't believe he's been recalled. Saints must have had this preplanned unless they are totally lucky. I do agree that the abilities are very similar but Zac is a bit taller and, maybe it's rose coloured specs, I do think he commanded his box somewhat better. Time will tell but it has to be remembered he was in the team that got us into Europe. Edited January 3 by stlucifer Quote

HSS Posted February 2 Report Posted February 2 Don’t think Zach will be in any hurry to head up for any future corners Quote
