He should have been off his line to clear from the penalty incident then got done at his near post. It’s his worst game for usHe had a dodgy 15 at the start but other than that I don’t think he did too bad?

That’s very true but do his performances justify paying likely huge wages and probably 5 million to sign him in the summer?Knee jerk post. He's been a big part of the upturn under Carrick, and deserves to be backed. He made mistakes today including not closing down and helping out Fry leading to the penalty, but he's won us more points than he's lost, and will continue to do so.
What a load of cobblers.Rubbish.
He does not make big saves, often doesn't make routine saves.
He doesn't dominate his box.
But mainly he causes us danger when there is no need whatsoever with his fannying around.
I'm not sure you can put it down to one misplaced pass. When he plays like this he makes the crowd and the defence nervous, and the ball leading up to the penalty was about 70/30 in his favour if he had come out for it.Not to blame for either goal. But predictably those who insist that he is poor are blaming him for our loss. One misplaced pass...

I think better keepers will be available for significantly cheaper this summer
The fact that there’s even a sniff of a fans argument for perhaps offering him a contract in the summer tells you all you need to know about what the fans think of him.That’s very true but do his performances justify paying likely huge wages and probably 5 million to sign him in the summer?

Today was a big game and some players are made for big games, I’d argue that certain players like your captain, main striker and your goalie have to be made for big games. Unfortunately all three went missing.
The bad pass is unfortunate but just a risk with playing from the back, that’s not a problem as it will create far more goals than it costs us long term
Staying on his line for the first goal was terrible goalkeeping and ultimately cost us the game, getting beat at his near post for the second was almost as bad. Those are the things you can’t really excuse a keeper for. For the fee plus likely huge wages we can do far better in the summer
As of right now, no, but he's still relatively young for a keeper and has a lot of upside. There's still the rest of this season for him to kick on, and should we reach the pl it would be justified to cough up the quoted figures.That’s very true but do his performances justify paying likely huge wages and probably 5 million to sign him in the summer?

If we go up he will be horribly exposed as a poor keeperAs of right now, no, but he's still relatively young for a keeper and has a lot of upside. There's still the rest of this season for him to kick on, and should we reach the pl it would be justified to cough up the quoted figures.
He is a solid keeper and has won us points on occasions but I expected far more from him, I expect he will be our highest paid player as well and he isn’t justifying that for meI don't think they do, and I don't think we'll be trying to sign him permanently.
But there's a difference between questioning signing him permanently and blaming him for every goal we concede.
I think Sol Brynn should be in the frame next season, he's had two consecutive seasons with rave reviews and he's a local lad.
I would have thought his starting position should have been slightly further forward so when the heavy touch came he would have been able to get to the ball when it’s basically a 1 on 1.I thought the same with the first goal watching it live, but then seeing the replay from his perspective he moves off his line as soon as Stewart takes the heavy touch. He has to stay on his line before that or he leaves himself exposed to an early shot.
Second goal he will only see very late through a crowd of players, Hackney has got to block the shot from the Sunderland player.
