    I know this has been discussed a lot but i still believe that bart should be given a chance even more after davis performance today.

    1) He nearly cost us a goal when he mucked about with it in the box. lucky we got a free kick out of it (a better play would have punished him)

    2) His distribution is shocking some times giving it to play who have players on their backs. For example he kept giving it to cork with no one then down the line to play it too. When he does kick it, it either goes to connolly with a centre back on him or straight to them

    Does anyone else feel this way?

    He also made a stunning save to keep us in it, and is a fantastic leader and organiser.

    I think Davis has been outstanding this season. He made a couple of mistakes today but he also made an excellent save to keep the game at 2-2. Bart's time will come but all goalkeepers make mistakes including Bart.

    every player has his bad days at the office, and he made a superb save at the start of the 2nd half and has been outstanding all season

    would you want to drop lallana, fonte or lambert after they make 1 mistake? no, exactly

    He is a great shot stopper and all that but kis kicking and passing is rather irritating to say the least!

    For several seasons now Kelvin has been consistently good for us. He made one major error today which he then did very well to amend, we have absolutely no reason to drop him until he starts consistently costing us goals.

    Kelv is a quality shop stopper and made a brilliant save at 2-2, still no.1 for me

    Very harsh to blame the slip up on Kelv. Fox shouldn't be passing it back when he could see someone was closing him down. Pretty football is good when you're winning 3-0, not drawing 2-2 against a team down the bottom.

    What else was he meant to do? There was no option square and he didn't have time to turn because he was marked too tightly.

    Am I missing something here? Didn't we win today or was I dreaming?

    With regards to Fox, if your a defender and you are being marked tightly, shown onto your weaker foot, you get the ball away from you as quickly as possible, if he didn't have the time to find a pass, that ball has to go straight out of play, give the team time to re-group. Yes going back to GK is a way to keep the football moving but that was not what was needed, a nice hoof out of the ground was.

    Some people just have it out for fox it seems. As for bart replacing davis i have my doubts, i think adkins will get in a new keeper end of the season. Bart has just not had enough games and in the end it gets you.

    I wondered that,if he's fit he must feel pretty crap after a centre mid got picked for his position.

    You wouldn't know it from the comments on this site. Some people just cannot be pleased.

    You can't expect a scratch back 4 to just come together and play amazing. Fox and Harding are probably as good as eachother, same goes for Hooiveld and Seaborne. It's just the fact 3 of the players today haven't played a game together.
