smegma are you suggesting that someone should keep playing now based on past glories? I don't have a 'short memory' I fully remember what Paddy did. The emphasis being on 'did' - as in past tense. We are planning for the future here.
Find it really weird that you think being sentimental and loyal despite the reality is such an admirable asset over what will make is more likely to win football matches going forward. That's not admirable at all.
See you've gone quiet about Hughes btw. |  |

Yep he has done the business for us but no way a legend. Phil Parkes and Tony Roberts now they are legends.  |
Mentioning Phil parkes and tony Roberts in the same sentence? Definite ban. |  |

I'm not trying to stir anything up here, but from reading this board over most of last season (didn't know such a thing existed before TBH a  ), there always seems to be a sense that somebody has to be in the firing line. (e.g.Jamie Mackie?)
From the little I've gleaned it seems that PK has been playing with an injury for at least part of the season which at times has made him a few inches off the pace.
On Sunday he was clearly injured in the first half but played out of his skin in the second. Any suggestion that he could've done better with either of the last two goals is frankly laughable.
Don't forget that Joe Hart, who is allegedly the best in the Prem also let in two; is anyone suggesting that he could've - should've done better with them?
Any of the suggestions of replacement keepers, apart from possibly Given, don't stack up IMHO. |  | | |

i think he'll go to Wolves and we'll sign Hennessey |
That would be disastrous. Extremely average keeper.
Think we'll be in for Foster. |  |

Nobody has anything to say about the last two goals. I had something to say about the first one.
I my opinion it's very simple - if we want to be a mid table or better Prem side we need better than Paddy. It is only my opinion. | |

Westbourne, of course you're entitled to your opinion.
All I'm saying is that hardly anybody seems to be taking the first half injury into account when having a pop about the first goal.
Also I've seen some shocking errors from all goalkeepers at times, including Springetts (both), Parkes and who could forget Seamen?
It can and will happen to the best of them at times.
PK was top class last year and was found wanting a little at times this year, but for the most part his performances haven't been that bad, and I can't see anything that any of the other keepers touted would bring along that would be much better.
IMO once the defence started to gel towards the end (forget the scum game; that was an abherration), his confidence went up a notch or two, and his performances with it.
The trouble with the GK position is that it's difficult to have more than one top class act in the setup as for most of the season the understudy will just be warming the bench. You only have to have watched Liverpool v Scum to see what I mean.
BTW this isn't a PK love in it's just that I can't see that he was that bad.

Being a goalie can be a thankless task. If an outfield player messes up, there is usually someone else that can try and help get them out of it, if the goalie messes up, it's in the net.

Michael and Juzzie I agree with you on both your points.
But... I've got to say... and I hope i'm not slaughtered for this... I think Paddy has been a problem for us this year.
His shot stopping has just not been good enough for the Prem and it's allowed teams to get ahead of us against the run of play with fairly unremarkable long shots.
I may be bang out of line but I don't think Sturidges's shot at the Bride should have gone in. And there were a few at the Loft that looked soft. | |

Have to say, as brilliant as he was last season, I think we probably need a new keeper to progress further. |  | | |

I'm not here to slaughter anyone, all I can say is that I've not left any games, apart from Fulham away, where I thought he'd had a mare.
Most of the time we conceded it was through some combined defensive error and/or a decent finish from the opposition, although I accept that a few examples my be remembered.
IMO given a settled defence there's not many better suited and at our price/level that we could reasonably expect to attract, with the caveat that MH and his network may have already identified a stopper that most wouldn't have come across. | | | |
