Re: Brice Samba - „Magic Hands“

He's good enough for a promotion-winning team. Let's focus on the positions that aren't quite.

If Brice doesn't make any mistakes then he's the best goalkeeper in the world, Adrian at Liverpool made 5/6 massive mistakes in a row this season yet he's considered a world class goalkeeper.

Adrian a world class keeper?! You mean Allison right?

That reminds me. I use the Tapatalk app on Android. I paid the lifetime membership to get rid of ads and improve uploads, etc. Just recently the GIF option has been removed. Is anyone else having this issue? Does any of the mods know why this would be, and is there a way to include GIFs on the android app?

GIFs Are still available in the iOS Version, I don’t have Android so can’t say about that version?

Maybe ask their support, they’re usually pretty good, especially if you’ve paid up for the app.

How do you all put these pictures on here?

For the life of me, I can't work it out.

Re: Brice Samba - „Magic Hands“

He's a quality keeper and one of the best in the league

Genuinely don't think there's anything to debate here

Keepers get pulled up for mistakes more because their mistakes always lead to goals.

He's fine, he's a pretty consistent 7/10 keeper who makes good saves, distributes the ball well and comes for crosses to relieve pressure off the back line.

People talk about McKenna as our best signing in ages but actually I think it's probably Brice. If we had a team of players who were at the same level as him both in terms of quality and consistency then we'd probably go up.

Re: Brice Samba - „Magic Hands“

He was reasonably priced too, if memory serves. Especially given his stats since he signed. Great bit of business, in my opinion.

Re: Brice Samba - „Magic Hands“

I‘m sorry, but anyone criticising Brice Samba as a quality goalkeeper in the second division is an idiot.

I’ve recently seen the best goalkeeper in the world - Bayern‘s Manuel Neuer - make some absolute rickets, far worse than any individual mistake Samba has made.

We all know Forest have problems in the squad; in between the sticks isn’t one of them.

I'd have McKenna above Brice in that category but they have both been quality additions.

How many matches have you watched and thought "I rather we had the other keeper". TBH I'm surprised Brice hasn't been looked at by the top league in his time with us. He's certainly a keeper with the quality of a promotion pushing side. Let's hope that's us next season.

Re: Brice Samba - „Magic Hands“

Brice has made some errors that has cost us points over these 2 seasons but that hasn't happened often and happens to most keepers. Probably count them on one hand.

Everything about the signing has been good. Talented with room for growth and at an age where he can achieve things with us at a higher level. Technically, financially, squad dynamics he gets a massive tick.

Our best signing under the current regime.

Definitely, and he was in a position we thought we would be already well stocked up in - we had Pants, Steele, Smith and Muric on the books, most of whom had a contingent thinking they would be good enough for us.

But the difference between Samba and any of them is alarming, just goes to show that you can always improve on what you have.

The key is that we don't find ourselves in a position that we continually find ourselves in, in that we have to add players in a position on top of a long list of players in the position. It means we aren't doing the fundamentals in recruitment or squad planning/dynamics right. I think we've found ourselves in this position for the Centre-back, right-back , left-back and centre-mind positions too in the last 12-18 months.

Not every signing can be perfect but we;ve definite kicked ourselves in the foot in this regard.

Shows what most already know. One of the better keepers in the league, think he'll do even better next season with a crowd back in.

By his own account his form dipped because he struggled with concentration without fans.

He is definitely one that misses them the most I reckon, he would bounce of crowds whether it's the Forest fans or the opposition fans, you can see he loved the interactions.
