Well done Boaz, he hasn't let anyone down so far and, excuse the pun, is a safe pair of hands

Some great errors with the names in that article! Glyn Myhill! Where on earth did they get that one from? Alan Irvine instead of Irvine is a bit more of an understandable mistake for a foreign journalist but even so, you would have thought they would have done a bit of basic research!

I'd say they had done their research, his name is Glyn Myhill, Boaz is simply a nickname.

[ComebackStrodds]

Well done to him. When I see Boaz step up I feel like I used to when Scott Carson used to turn out for us, but that's probably because he hasn't had a good enough run out of games.

[BigFrank20]

I still maintain his distribution is far superior to Foster's and his shot stopping is only very slightly marginally poorer.

According to Wikipedia;
Glyn Oliver Myhill (born 9 November 1982), more commonly known as Boaz Myhill is a professional footballer who plays for West Bromwich Albion as a goalkeeper. Myhill also represented Wales until his international retirement in 2014. Having started his professional career at Aston Villa he later moved to Hull City, establishing himself as first choice goalkeeper.
Born in Modesto, California, the son of an American father and a Welsh mother from Llangollen, Myhill moved to England at the age of one. He attended the Marches School, Oswestry.
Myhill's parents originally intended to name him Boaz, a Hebrew name which they encountered and liked while travelling in Israel, but were dissuaded from doing so by relatives. Nevertheless, Myhill has been called Boaz, rather than by his official name Glyn, throughout his life.

I think I'd go along with that

[baggie53]

I have never felt uncomfortable when Myhill has been called upon. He has his strengths and weaknesses just like Foster, and in some aspects he is better than Foster. I think Foster has had his poorest season since he joined us.

People point to the number of clean sheets Foster has kept, but in a lot of games this has been due to the defenders in front of him doing their jobs properly, and often limiting the opposition to long range efforts

Spot on mate, i feel the same, i will support him when he turns out for us but never fills me with confidence.
It will be interesting to see how our goalkeepers progress now we have a coach who does more than play keep me up at half time like the last joker we had.

[glosterbaggie]

I am glad we have 2 decent Prem quality keepers to call upon.

There have been a few times this season when Foster hasn't filled me with confidence

Heard the story from the man himself last summer in the hotel bar in Sacramento. His 'hippie' (his words, not mine) parents were on a visit to California and camping in Yosemite when his mom went into labor, she had to be airlifted to the nearest hospital, which was in Modesto. That's how Boaz came to be born in California. Gotta be the best #2 in the league.

Erm, Petr Cech?

[wbasoprano]

Erm, Petr Cech?

Indeed. Victor Valdes?

[Hunnington Baggie]

Erm, Petr Cech?

There's Petr Cech, Victor Valdes, Wojech Szczesny, Michel Vorm's good too & although he's not played in ages, West Ham have Jussi Jaaskelainen... Is Rob Green QPR's no2 or No1?

Well, it must be the 'baggie blinders' I wear.
I liken it to what Jeff Beck said when asked about the greatest guitar player. Jeff said 'it's like asking what's the best breakfast; it's what you fancy'.
To each his own.

It was a good show from him.  Needs to be more consistent though - didn't make a save as we lost at home to Leicester and QPR.

[B_H_Baggie]

He's a solid enough back-up keeper, he knows his role and accepts it but always seems to put in some solid performances when called upon.

Two clean sheets is good in my book

[Mister AT]

Not sure what the clean sheet table looks like now, but I know around 4-5 weeks ago we were 2nd in it behind Southampton?

Boaz's two clean sheets will improve that figure, I read we have had 9 clean sheets since TP been here, which is quite impressive.

[WBAinDEVON]

Solid handling the weekend

[zippyandbungle]

our best keeper.
Nowt against Foster,I just prefer Glynn
