Step forward ,liebs.

Outstanding.

A keeper who

1.Catches
2.Commands his box
3.Saves shots
4.Organises
5 Opens his mouth

All that which have been missing .

Get him signed long term. Clubs will be paying attention to him .

Well,look at the lad.
Surely he appears more positive and that has to give confidence to defenders.

Woody was IMO appalling in that regard and it still grates the terrific defenders he had saw him get the plaudits.

Anyway,as I say it's all about now.

An example of why the club needs/ should have an effective scouting network, if I am jo5 mistaken he was spotted in Germany by Tremmel.

NO!

if we tie him down he can't jump and save/punch the ball.

Well played fella ,Woodman last year was well short in my opinion,always stuck on his line
Great shot stopper on times but distribution was awful kept putting ball into touch and high balls into the box was like Dracula
This new lad is an improvement,yes he’s gonna make mistakes all kids do

His distribution now is far better than Woodman’s ever was and some people are worried about his distribution? Wtf were they watching for the last two years? Benda is an upgrade- no doubt about it. He’s only had a handful of games. Give him a chance!

😂
Everything we've missed for years.
As a CB/FB it would a dream to play in front of him.
Even when getting caught with the ball there's nothing but calm.
It will be difficult to keep him.

Aye, even with the brainfarts I'm happy with him and how he plays. I think as things click even more he won't fancy leaving for a bit.

You and I have been proven right. Much of our fan base had forgotten what a competent goalkeeper looked like.

Woodman was truly dreadful. His many inadequacies were papered over by an excellent defence and an overly defensive formation.

Compare Benda's movement and decision making when facing a one on one compared to Woodman.

Benda stands in the perfect spot to minimise shooting angles, reads body language and dives before or just as the player shoots. His save from McGoldrick was unbelievable.

Woodman would back pedal, stand too close to his near post and either watch the ball go past him without diving, or try and react long after the player has shot.

Benda is an unbelievably good goalkeeper. I have little doubt he'll be playing top flight football soon enough. I wouldn't be surprised to see him playing for an elite European team in the near future either.

I think he’s very good and other than I thought Woodman was decent in his way I agree with your post. Benda is a proper keeper, very raw and prone to madness that a lot of top keepers seem to be, but I’d be very surprised if he didn’t play for a top club at some point.

Not that raw Itch.
He has good positioning play for a tart and seems not to find touch as Woody did,Phil Bennett style.
He can save shots as well as Woody but unlike Woody he is prepared for physical contact. I have never seen any goalkeeper as cowardly as Woodman. Benda seems fearless.

Standing on the line at corners ,motionless,whilst you are blocked by the opposition forward,as Woody always was, is doomed to fail. Woody has Guehi to thank for covering up his fey attitude to the game.

Benda will be in demand very soon and I'll be amazed if we keep him.

Finally,folks,for the cooperclans ,remember this lad only months ago was seen as inferior to Woodman who will very soon,possibly today,be truly exposed.

If I were a Geordie fan,I d be worried.

Raw in the sense that he hasn’t got the experience his role demands. Martin wants him to play as a sweeper, which in time he will be able to do comfortably, but at the the moment his inexperience when faced with a strong press is his weakness. When he learns to trust his instinct and play safe when necessary, as he did to some degree against Bristol City, he will be less raw.

That is a fair riposte.

Looks like a top, top keeper.

Will probably cost us a handful of goals this year when put under pressure with the ball at his feet but on current form will easily save us double that with his excellent shot stopping.

Good in the air and his distribution (when given time) is top notch too. Really seizing his chance so far.

For the 'keeper to effectively play sweeper the defence line and midfielders have to work hard to provide a safe pass. As yet our don't.
IMO the most entertaining goalie since Tony Millington.
