The title of this thread sounds like a real ale. Probably an IPA, about 6.4%


With beer that strength you'd feel pretty damned decisive after the first couple.


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

How do you save a goal?  


You go for a wee like I did and miss the first goal. You come back and nobody tells you they have scored. You watch the game thinking it's 0-0.They score another goal to make it 2-0 but you still cheer them on for the equaliser. You feel a fool when you get home and the wife tells you it's 2-0. I just wish I'd gone for 2 wees and we might have got a point.

Thought he kept us in it for long periods today, made an excellent penalty save and 2 or 3 really good saves in open play as well, plus claimed balls in his area better. My MOM.


Sadly though he consistently makes basic errors which people remember and he clearly doesn't fill the defenders with confidence I'm afraid. Good game yesterday but still not convinced

This is how I regard him. His reaction saves and general positioning are good. Unfortunately this is often counteracted by some basic errors and his lack of domination in the 6 yard box , especially in the air. In general he has been a decent keeper for us but he has cost us a few points this season and this can have a bad affect on the back four.

I don't normally stick up for goalkeepers after we have lost at home but how anybody cannot say he was not our best player beats me.If I was in goal and had this seasons defence dithering about in front of me I would be a nervous wreck. All goalkeepers make mistakes but they only stand out if we are not used to them. He has been our saviour on many occasions in the last few years and it is completely unfair in my opinion that this post is running. There have been too many bad comments about individual players lately[ I've done my share I know ] but it ought to now stop. Why dont we drop him and bring in some raw kid ---how stupid-let's just send him out to some Italian club on loan.

Apart from Davies non of the defence have been too convincing up to now,

You only have to look at the goals conceded to know that,

but

It is early days and they will learn and we will get better,

The experience of Collins will be a big help maybe just from the training pitch at first,

If no improvement Hursty will find the right man/men in January .

Just watched the 2nd goal on Mariners player a couple of times not really James's fault it had more to do with the goal scorer being completely unmarked when the ball came back into the box after Summerfields clearance. Once again poor marking when a ball is lifted into our penalty area.

After watching most of the game again my opinion of Crewe has changed at first I thought we gifted them the game which may be correct to a small degree but overall they did a really good job on us yesterday. Also our passing and ball retention was absolutely rubbish.

Anyway we go again at Mansfield next week.

UTM!
