The Aynsley Pears appreciation thread.

[Roverthechimp]

Could anyone have imagined Steele in the Premier League? How do we rate his time here in comparison to Pears?

(that said i would be absolutely AMAZED if the link is anything other than a puff piece to give Pears a "boost" probably ordered by our glorious ceo...)

Steele is the worst keeper I've ever seen in a Rovers shirt. Abysmal.  Still is in my opinion. Hardly covered himself in glory at Sunderland either...

Of course you would still need a number 1 cos I want more than decent as our number 1 and someone who has the quality I was in a number 1 keeper. 

 

Decent would be a definite upgrade on Pears.

Yet again RF99, I have absolutely no idea why you have reply to me again, since I have given my opinion on Pears and what I want to see in a future keeper signing who needs to be our new number 1 next season. I can't be any more clearer than I have posted on this issue since Saturday post game Derby game

And yet still didn't make a tenth of the regular errors Pears makes.

It's not just the errors either, it's the lack of positional awareness, lack of any kind of bravery and his distribution is shite also.

I remember people trying to justify the decision to play Pears over Kaminski because he was "good with his feet."

He isnt.

Tomasson selected him, justification enough, you just never got over that he rated Pears over Kaminski.

That implies that a manager is always right. He was wrong with that decision.

For the majority of the time he picked Kaminski. Pears only came in when Kaminski got injured but he seemingly didnt want to rock the boat and put back in the far superior keeper when he was fit again.
