Scott Carson’s anger at Albion axe
Thursday 21st April 2011, 12:05PM BST.
Albion goalkeeper Scott Carson has admitted he was angry at the way former boss Roberto Di Matteo axed him from the team.
The former Hawthorns captain was dropped by Di Matteo after a howler at Fulham in January, but has regained his place since the arrival of new boss Roy Hodgson.
And Carson has now revealed he was upset at the way the decision became public, with Di Matteo announcing it two days before the Premier League win against Blackpool.
The goalkeeper said: “I made a mistake against Fulham that was well highlighted with it being live on Sky.
“I don’t know if Robbie had been thinking of leaving me out before then or whether he just wanted to change things around to try to make something happen, but it was disappointing to be left out.
“It wasn’t so much getting dropped that I was angry and upset about, because that’s part of your life if you’re a footballer. It happens now and again.
“If you make a mistake you know it can happen and that’s fair enough. It was the manner in which it was done that I found hard to deal with, the way it was built into a big news story and announced early in the week ahead of the Blackpool game.
“Other lads have been left out of the side and the outside world only finds out when the team-sheet goes in. It’s not made into a big deal, you get told in-house and that’s the end of it.
“It made me feel twice as bad and that did annoy me a little bit, but once it was a bit less raw a few days later I got my head back together and just worked as hard as I could.”
Carson had been in solid form before the weekend’s defeat at home to Chelsea and has praised Hodgson for turning the Baggies’ season around.
The 25-year-old said: “Since the gaffer came in it’s been a fresh start for everyone, people are playing to impress and to get spots in the team and that gives you extra momentum.
“Everyone has something new to prove and, when you add that to ideas and organisation he has brought in, we’ve been able to produce some great performances.”

A goalkeeper, above all the other positions, needs a thick skin and tremendous self belief, because their clangers result in goals usually. Remember that David James rode his ‘Calamity James’ image to become one of the best. Stay focused and astound the moaners.

a new keeper should be top of roys shopping list in the summer. RDM should have dropped him earlier as he has cost us points this season. when was last time he was MOM or you think what would we do without carson today.

Scott I think you should just count yourself lucky you were given another chance. You are on borrowed time. Its not the mistakes that worry me as much as the generally average performance we see from you in your ‘better’ games. I’ve never come away from a match thinking Scott Carson won us the points and surely a top class goalkeeper playing in a newly promoted team should be picking up plenty of MOM awards.

There’s been some rubbish talked about Scott Carson this season, not least of it here.
1 – Carson has cost us at least 20 points. So if we had a different keeper we’d be fourth in the table and set fair for Champions League qualification? Who did you want in goal instead, Billy the Fish?
Carson’s time is probably up with us because he appears to have fragile confidence, and that ain’t ever gonna be repaired standing in front of a crowd giving him dog’s abuse after going 2-1 down against Chelsea on the back of a 7 game unbeaten run.
He’s had a poor season but the way some people have reacted to virtually every goal we’ve conceded, apportioning 100% of the blame to Carson and nothing to anyone else, is a joke.

Well done after working hard to regain you place in the team, it paid off with your form together with the rest of the team to get us in a much better position.I think that you’ll agree that Saturday was not one of your or the rest of the team’s better days but I’m sure you’ve all put it behind you and switched your focus to next game.
It’s a pity a number of our so called supporters WILL NOT do the same so I can only apologize for their disgraceful behaviour and assure you that the vast majority are true Blue and White and wish you and the rest of the playing and back room staff all the best for the rest of the season and hope it ends up with us playing in the Premier next season.
DON’T LET THE (children who’s parents are not married) GRIND YOU DOWN!

Number 4, I Pascalzubervuller was worse than carson.
Number 1 and 7- I reckon he has cost us 10 goals, not even paul robinson positional sense for his entire albion career cost us 20 points, and he cost us a shed load of goals.
Our team has moved on since the days when steve lillwall back headed a ball near the half way line to our goalie and they scored, however we may have replaced the lillwalls, burgess’s and ravens with the olsons, davies and balis’s but we have never replaced the millers and hoults in goal. We are weaker in goal as much now as he ever have been.

I am not his greatest fan but even I think he has taken enough stick. I belive we should be looking for a replacement but while he is in the team he shouild get our support. Interesting that results did not really alter with Myhill in goal so it cannot be all down to Carson.

Some Albion fans disgust me. The abuse that bloke has had to take has boardered on the ridiculous!
He’s made mistakes. So has Nicky Shorey, Stephen Reid, Odemwingie, Brunt, Morrison, Olsson, Cech, Fortune… Some people have short memories. What about Everton away? Liverpool at home? Spurs at home? Stoke away?
How about supporting a bloke who’s tried his best for your club instead of booing?
At the very height of the criticism this season, the vast majority of the boo boys couldn’t see the real problem – Roberto’s shocking attitude towards defending as a unit…
Report abuse
# 7 totally agree mate. A team is made up of 11 players on the pitch. If the defence were doing their job, the ball wouldn’t get through to the goal keeper so much, if the forwards were doing their job, the other team scoring 2 goals wouldn’t be a problem if we were scoring 3. You can’t blame one person for the whole game – well unless you’re a referee then it can be your fault!!!!!!! EVERY member of the team has made a mistake at one time or another (how many own goals have we scored?!?!?!) but beause they’re not the goal keeper it’s forgotten by the next week.
Love him or hate him, he’s the goal keeper for WBA – support him, don’t treat him like opposing supporters would.

Common Sense Baggie Boy- ‘Carson has cost us 20 points this season’- okay list the points he’s cost us, then deduct the points we’ve gained from his saves. What absolute rubbish.
Zorro- ‘One of our worst top flight keepers ever’- we’ve only had about 5 and he’s certainly not worse than Pascal Zuberbuhler.
Like Wear Baggie (excellent post) and many others before, I don’t dispute he’s had a couple of nightmares (which Prem keeper hasn’t?? Hart, Reina, Van Der Sar, Almunia and Gomes all play for much better teams than us and they’ve cost their teams points. Foster, Green, Jaaskelainan, Al-Habsi, Hennessey, Howard and Schwarzer all have too), but the way he’s constantly picked on is ridiculous.
It’s not the constructive criticism that’s a problem, it’s the irrationality of it. We could be playing a game, Odemwingie would lose the ball, Brunt and Thomas would fail to track their men, Shorey would lose his footing, Olsson would dive in then Carson would fumble the shot and some of the odious simpletons that sit in the BRE would blame Carson, then their kids would think it’s acceptable and before you know it you have half the stand hurling abuse at him.
Some might not like Carson as a keeper- fair enough, but for the love of God he’s an Albion player, what good is getting on his case going to do? How many of those people who barrack him remember Tony Lange or Paul Crichton? Or went week-in week-out when things weren’t quite so rosy? Scott Darton anyone…..
Roy said he felt he’d come to a warm club with supporters who support the team, I hope these people don’t convince him otherwise.

Carson is young in goalkeeper terms. I believe we do need another Keeper Like Eiji Kawashima to come in to challenge him for top spot. This would be helpful as competition doesn’t seem in place at this time. Scot would learn from a world cup goalkeeper.

You conveniently left out the people who constantly criticize but never give praise when it’s due.Yes Carson has made mistakes, was dropped, came back to a rejuvenated team played well so where were all these knockers? Nowhere to seen or heard that’s where! then hey presto! a bad game along with many others against a team 2nd in the Prem and their all over him like as rash.
If your telling me it’s right to boo and give ironic applause to your own goalkeeper then you must be Tracy Barlow,not that I watch any English television over here but I’ve got the kids over here at the moment and they suggested your new handle Tracy.
Neither you or anybody else will stop me trying to rid the Hawthorns of Moaning Morons and always having a positive outlook to help WBA moved forward.
Thank you and good night!

We all forget that we are West Brom, a team yoyoing between the top two leagues for the last decade. We are not going to a)attract a top class keeper, b)afford the transfer fee of top class keeper or c)afford the wages of a top class keeper. I am West Brom through & through & see us through rose tinted glasses but I am realistic, West Brom are not as attractive to people outside the club as it is to us. I do believe we are becoming a little more attractive, as evidenced by getting in RH(when was the last time we had an experienced manager). When we are an established Premier league team for several years, we will then be able to attract top class keepers. Unfortunately, if Scott was the finished article & could catch crosses, command his area, etc.etc. do you think he’d be at West Brom. I think not. We both fit each other, the best keeper we can afford, the best team to have bought him & not sent him on loan. Keepers get better with age & experience & I believe Scott will do this. Look at Robinson, playing some of his best games at the moment but he was lost in the wilderness for a long time. Let’s all get behind Scott for as long as he’s at our club.

As in goalkeeping, timing is everything, isn’t it?
“What Roy needs …”
… seems a great statement to make, though cannot really affect our club’s position until after May 22, and once the transfer window opens.
“What Roy has …”
… is the more constructive statement at this time, as it is the only one that Roy has any managerial control over.
In Scott’s defence (sic), I disagree with any statements that assert he can’t keep anything out of goal …
… He does seem quite adept at keeping Boaz Myhill out :-)
Happy Easter to each & all

That’s the best post I’d read for a long time.
Someone used David James as an example the other day.
At 25 (Carson’s age) David James was playing regularly for Liverpool and being publicly criticised for errors he was making which led to goals against. He carried on working on his game and went on to become the benchmark for England goalkeepers. He didn’t actually play for England until he was 27, nor did David Seaman.
Whilst that doesn’t necessarily mean he should remain first choice/become a golden boy, it certainly suggests crucifying his Albion career would be foolish and pathetic.
To also follow on from yesterday. Any Carson-knockers got any sensible alternatives? There were 2 posters who put up a reasoned argument for a replacement last time around.

To my mind it dosnt matter what your opinion is when it comes to Scott Carson.However if its negative keep it to yourself. Especially at the shrine. I was in the Brummie against Chelsea in my usual seat with both my grown up sons who I have been taking to the Albion since they were 5. Yes weve seen some rubbish over the years but we have never and never will boo one of our players. Those that booed our keeper need to take a long hard look at themselves. We were ashamed to be anywhere near these morons. One of my sons stood up and loudly cheered Scots save shortly after his error just to make a point to the idiots around us. Scott is the BEST keeper we have so for god sake support him.
Report abuse
O.k I’m not sure with Carson either at times, but come on surely we can see this story as an easy bit of media stirring, enough as been said about Carson already, I will have faith in Roys decision, but I would like to see Myhill behind the improved defence at sometime before the end of the season, just to see if the elusive clean sheet can be achieved within the next 5 games.
Report abuse
I can’t believe some of our so called ‘fans’ on here criticising Carson non stop. He’s a good keeper, yes, he makes mistakes, but who doesn’t?
Is Van Der Sar a bad keeper because he dropped a ball at Tchoyi’s feet? Is Odemwingie a bad striker because he missed an open goal against the Blues?
I don’t think anyone would say they are, and at present we have a good keeper, doing a good job for a good team, for a good manager.
We’re VERY close to being safe for next season, and if we do bring in another keeper and he improves the team and the results, I would be extremely happy. However, I refuse to listen to idiocracies aimed at him for no other reason than he is Scott Carson, and you don’t have Luke Moore to boo any more.
Report abuse
The thing is Scott, if I kept costing my company money by not ordering goods on time then I would probably get sacked so I think maybe you should look at it in a sense that it was a verbal warning and think yourself lucky.
Lets not take in to account last saturday against Chelsea but quite a few other occasions which I don’t have time to mention.
I have a little bit of faith in you as you are a good keeper but please oh please concentrate a little more on the ball.

There are a lot of mischievous people posting on here so I won’t rise to the bait. All I’ll say is this, he is the best keeper I’ve seen at the Albion so everyone get behind him and give him a standing ovation at the Villa game. On another note, my 3 for the drop are:

As I pointed out the other day the PL is a different world to the Championship especially for keepers and I don’t think Miller played for us in the PL did he?
Russell Hoult was a fine keeper but played behind a team that relied on not conceding goals by getting 11 men behind the ball. Carson has played behind a team that under RDM defended in a cavalier way and under Tony Mowbray played like Japanese suicide pilots.
If you make comparisons you must take all factors into account otherwise it’s like comparing apples with bananas.
I’m not sure which of your categories I fall into but until you take the above into account I think you need to open a category 4 for yourself and some others. IE Those that criticise Carson without taking account of what’s happening around him.

Sorry Scott you should have been dropped months before you did. I personally don’t think your good enough, we should have sold you last summer, casing point last Saturday first two goals! Poor decision making for the first goal, the second goal the save should have been pushed away from goal if you couldn’t hold it poor goalkeeping all round im afraid. With a solid goalkeeper i think we would be at least half a dozen points better off!

It looks like MOST of the criticism that Scott Carson gets is over the top.
Other players are as responsible for costing us points/goals and yet they are never criticised. Mulumbu has lost the ball on at four occasions that have DIRECTLY resulted in the opposition scoring, Blackpool, West Ham and Fulham (all away) are three. That doesn’t mean that Mulumbu is bad, just that he made a costly mistake.
Against Stoke, Carson was immense. Along with the rest of the defence they withstood the basketball style bombardment from Delap, and Carsons command of the box in that game contributed to the point.
The thing is, a lot of players had a mediocre game on Saturday. BUT it was against Chelsea. If everyone had been on their game we would not have won. Instead, we should look at hte performance in a different, pragmatic way. A lot if players have been playing excellently until Saturday. Collectively they had a poor performance, in the same game, which means that hopefully, they will collectively up their games for the final matches. We lose too many games where one individual performance or mistake overshaddows the rest of the team. Saturday was a case of “expect nothing, get nothing, don’t get embarrassed”. In those terms, Saturday could turn out to be a good result.
We will never afford world cup winning players, so let’s make do and accept that that football is there for our entertainment, and overall, this season ticket has been excellent value for money.

On a different point. On Talksport this morning Blackpool asst manager Steve Thompson being interviewed.
‘And we’ve had so many dodgy decisions. Before we came up I’d heard about the big club, small club bad decisions but hadn’t believed it, now I do.’
I think this is the same as a lot of pundits, even ex-players. It’s easy to be blase about it if it doesn’t directly affect you.
Steve Bruce summed it up best saying, ‘when I was at Man U I knew we got decisions but when it’s going your way it doesn’t worry you a lot.’

Also on Talksport on the same point. Simon Grayson.
‘I always tell the players we win as a team and we lose as a team as well.’
In other words don’t pick on scapegoats. It does no one any good. I remember when I played football that a few words of praise meant I’d go out second half and run through brick walls whereas constant criticism makes you want to hide. It’s simple psychology not rocket science yet it’s still too complicated for some of our ‘fans’ to take in.

Going off topic again. I’ll be interested to see the Leeds v Reading game tonight. Two players that could play the second strikers role next season Robert Snodgrass and Shane Long. I think Long is a real competitor and Snodgrass is a difficult player to pick up, scoring lots off goals from around the edge of the area as well as close in.

Spotted this one for the fans of brummierobwolves.
‘There is a lot of doom and gloom around but I believe that West Ham and Blackburn are in a worse position than ourselves as they have awful fixture lists. West Ham have Chelsea and Man City away as their next two games. Blackburn have to play Man City, Bolton, Man Utd at home and have to go to West Ham and us and their form is shocking. Blackpool are in freefall and Wigan are very much up and down.
It’s St George’s Day… get your red rose on and let’s intimidate this nothing club from West London. Wolves 2 Fulham 1!’
Apart from pointing out everyone else’s problems but ignoring his own clubs 7-1 aggregate over the last two games he dismisses Fulham as a ‘nothing’ club. This nothing club has been above you all season as well as for the last 10 or 12 seasons.
The arrogance is astounding. Perhaps instead of red rose that should read red nose and spinning bow tie.

As soon as I saw the headline of this thread I knew it would bring out the dingles in disguise and the knuckleheads who believe they help us by booing players during games… and so did the people who wrote it.
Its very noticable that we get a story like this when we are virtually safe…. a more suspicious person may think its almost deliberate, so I’m proud to see so many fans posting in support of Scott Carson – i believe we have be labelled the MAS or the GHF crowd.
Well its not happy clapping (to borrow a wolves phrase) to know that booing your own players on the pitch is detrimental to the club doing well….
I have critisised carson for errors, and even agreed he needed to be dropped at one time – but the difference is being able to see the good saves, the times when we win and he has played well – its called BALANCE….
The lack of Carson posts during our recent 7 game run was typical – BALANCE…try it, you might find football a bit more enjoyable !!!

If you read the actual article Stearman says something like ‘we want to show Fulham we can play football.’ But you can already hear the Wolverhampton Branch of the Glass Half Empty Club sharpening their pencils with glee.
On the bright side it shows that it isn’t just us that suffers these misleading headlines.

51.Daniel. What a wild statement, ‘the worst goalkeeper we’ve ever had’. You must be around 150 years old. I seen all of them since 1944 and can say quite definitely, HE IS NOT! On the WM phone-in last night, I was quietly washing up and listening. One bloke rang and proceeded to say Carson ‘couldn’t catch, couldn’t kick, couldn’t position, couldn’t save….etc’. You have the picture.
He came from ‘a family of goalkeepers’, so he KNEW. I was so incensed I rang WM to let fly at his sheer spiteful, smug, self-opiniated arrogance. This bloke didn’t tell us what Divisions of football his qualifications came from. Probably one I played in back in 1948-9

Ultimately as fans we all pay good money so are entitled to an opinion. agreed if the player (carson) is going to be playing regularly then we should get behind him, however lets be honest he has not done himself any favours with his performances this season.
For me he clearly lacks bravery and this shows when we defend corners he does not dominate his six yard box. I have lost count of how many goals have been scored from inside this box. He can’t catch hence he don’t come for crosses in outplay or from corners. This then puts unecessary pressure on the defence when they want respite.
For me it’s time for change at the end of the season and we should go and buy a quality keeper like Given at Man City who wants first team football or the lad who’s No2 at Fulham.

How would you feel if that happened to you at work? would you stick your fingers up or tell those who were abusing you to duck off?
Would it help you and make you determined to try your hardest for your boss and work mates if they patted you on the back and said “come on son forget it let get the job done, we all make mistakes” and don’t forget how many are on his back, like a big cowardly gang picking on somebody who can’t answer back.

And many others on here.
If you actually read the article and not just the E&S headline that is designed to raise controversy you will see that he never said he was angry at being dropped. He said that he fully accepts that as a footballer it’s part of the job.
What he was upset at was the way it was announced with other people knowing before he did. Imagine you get the sack at work and the first you know is when the office junior or the bloke on the next machine mentions it in conversation.
Also in your post along with many others you mention Carson’s faults and mistakes as if they’re facts. That is your opinion, not a fact. You then go on to question the Manager’s judgement. Do you want him replaced as well?
Perhaps you should take note of your last sentence and learn to take the good with the bad.
I’ve also seen the Carson knockers dredging up the names of former keepers that were better. On Tom Ross last night one even mentioned Rick Sheppard, a decent second string to Ray Potter but no where near Carson’s quality. Tony Godden has been cited as being on a par with Gordon Banks yet at the time he took just as much stick as Carson from a section of our ‘loyal fans.’ He was regularly called Teflon or Dracula to help his confidence but now thirty years later it appears all is forgiven.
