    I don't rate him. His shots to saves ratio I think is quite poor - he seems to spill a lot. Always a mistake in him.

    I was only saying this on Saturday, am yet to see him make a save that is anything other than ordinary. He never seems to make any unexpected saves like we would have seen from Myhill or Mannone. In short I am far from convinced by Amos.

    I haven't rated him since he joined. He just doesn't inspire confidence in anything he does. At least I'm not alone in thinking he's not very good.

    just thinking the same, to many mistakes without the occasional brilliance;]

    I just think he is a very ordinary goalkeeper compared to what we have had in recent years.

    It's not the keepers fault we've lost this, we've done sod all going forward all match.

    15 shots to 5. With 1 on target to their 14. Yet nobodys whinging about the strikers.

    Eldin Jakupovic can't be that good either if he can't get on the bench. Face it they've been the better team and we've been **** all over, not just the keeper.

    Ditto, missed the second on the commentary, guessing he ran out for something like a young paul mcshane again...

    Either way I really don't rate him, only thing he's any good at is collecting crosses and corners.

    I aren't talking about 'just' this game, I'm talking about so far in his city career. He is without a doubt our weak link. He flaps a lot, shots from almost anywhere he never seems to move, often rooted to the spot. He flaps a lot in the air, doesn't command his area very well. Poor distribution, we have recently been blessed with great keepers, Amos unfortunately just doesn't measure up to the previous keepers.

    TBH, I find him slightly cocky as well.

    and how many times do we hear "Mclean poor touch" or "chance for Mclean, scuffs it" or "chance for Mclean, over the bar.." FFS

    I think Amos belongs in the only way is essex to be honest. He looks like one of those nancy boys.

    Clean sheets are a foundation for winning games. We never look like keeping a clean sheet with Amos in goal. McLean has a 1 in 3 goal scoring ratio throughout his career. That's a decent career return.

    Reports say that he was our best player in the first half. Pulled off some great saves.

    It was a mistake to start with Proschwitz and Mclean tonight. Back to Aluko and Simmo at the weekend, i hope.

    What's the matter with Koren?

    missing from 2 yards is just as bad as fumbling from the keeper.. both errors cost you points..

    Boro had alot of chances on goal tonight and only 2 were conceded. Surely, he's made a string of good saves there then.

    It didn't seem like the strikers were doing much to rectify the ballance of the match.

    You win as a team and you lose as a team.
