    Costs us 3 points again today.

    If we had an adequate keeper, there’s no doubt we would be in the top 2.

    That goal today was pathetic, any other keeper in league football would have saved it.

    LJ should have got a keeper in January, he knew how bad our options were, and it’s cost him.

    There isn't a reverse angle but it could have deflected off Wright?

    Regarding the January transfer business, I believe other priorities took preference?

    Will he be in charge in the summer ? we have gone to pieces as always, reserve players last 3 games after we make sure we/if finish in the play offs. it looks like 5th place again. They say it must be players not interested because of contracts. about 7 players including i keep saying Toney whatever he wants, 2 goal keepers needed whatever happens. and he should have played Kimpi and not let Embleton go out on loan, because non of his signings are any good.

    A good goalkeeper should have been one of the main preferences.

    I think we and the team all know, a whole new team of players will be needed next season regardless of the division we are in. LJ needs to try and motivate the current squad to attempt to go for promotion...

    Patterson as well, big confident commanding keeper should perhaps have been tried.

    Yea he’s not the best and made a right rick today but I think he’s been alright lately. Don’t think we should use him as a scapegoat for recent results

    He should have kept it out, even if the rebound might have been a problem.

    He should have done much better with the header last week too, though scowen was eve more to blame. But this lad, though he has been decent recently, is clearly just a bollock waiting to be dropped. And he'll know it himself now as he's dropped enough.

    Some games though he literally hasn’t had a save to make. He really is awful, way worse than Camp and Steele. They faced a lot of shots, Burge doesn’t. Hasn’t got a single redeeming feature. Get rid.

    I think he is yeah, but if not we should just pay us contract up. Or make sure he’s 3rd choice at best. If the club and this new supa doopa player recruitment system aren’t actively looking for at least 2 goalkeepers then we are done for before we’ve even started.

    He needs dropping and I would bring Patterson in now to get him ready for the play offs.
    Burge is better than Matthews but that is not saying much.

    This is when we find out if the new regime are serious, so much talk about following the data, I would expect Speakman to have 2 sets of signings lined up for next season, one for league 1 if we're still here, and another list for Championship if we manage to get promoted, either way I expect very EARLY signings once the season is finished, not last minute ****e like we've endured for ever. This for me will be the acid test. We'll see.
