Fraser Dropped - Courier

[stevico1]

Looking back to last weekends game against Rangers. If you study the free kick which Mike spilled for the opening goal, I believe he saw it late and the shot looked pretty ferocious. I have seen worse from top class keepers. I am sure we would all like Boruc to play for ICT, but look at some of the blunders he has made. The problem for Mike is the defence, or lack of defence, in front of him. He can't perform miracles.

Time is a great healer..........we seemed to think that Broonie was a top class keeper but we all appear to have selective amnesia and all his blunders are a distant memory. He was much worse than Mike Fraser at coming to meet the ball, crosses, kicking and general control of his penalty box. The only trait that Fraser carried on from Broonie was the inability to save penalty kicks.

Anyway, Esson looks a decent keeper as well and maybe this will keep them both on their toes.

Mike Fraser will come back a better keeper for this, I hope it is with this club though.

totally agree a young keeper that will come back and beat an even better keeper in years to come, Boruc in the celtic eyes is one of their best and still makes mistakes, ike will come back a better keeper

How did Esson perform today?

[tm4tj]

Apparently he did pretty well Alex. Saving a penalty helped.

[Pele_Is_God]

Saved the penalty and made a good save in the 2nd half. Communicates with defence and distribution is pretty good. Nothing bad to say against him.

I heard he did well.... very well, so will he stay first choice? i think so.

When was the last time an ICT keeper saved a penalty? Mike never has...

i am maybe wrong but i dont think saving a penalty is answer to all our probs

[The Mantis]

Probably Jimmy Calder! Or Esson himself at Gayfield....

[Ritchie Sacramento]

Based on that performance, I'd say Esson may be our no.1 for a while.

Based on that performance, I'd say Esson may be our no.1 for a while.

After todays game I can't see any argument in Esson starting our next few games but time will tell.

[Kingsmills]

Fraser will come again but Esson seems to be the man in possession now.

Shrewd observation!
