3rd goal he’s beaten at his near post whilst he’s stood on it and 2nd goal the ball is put right across the 6 yard box and he goes to come for it then changes his mind. If you think he’s not to blame then I’m not sure what to reply, you’re either stupid or blind.
We are all stupid and blind then. What does that make you? I'm unhappy with the performance today, but that's one performance after we'd achieved 4th so I'm not too disheartened, how are you feeling?
 
Here’s the highlights - if you still can’t see how bad his positioning is for their second then I really don’t know what to say to you. He doesn’t know whether to come or go, even though there’s absolutely no chance of him getting anywhere near the ball and in the end just stumbles forward. If he stayed on his line he just collects the deflection no problem whatsoever.

Cheers for the coaching advice mate. I think I'll stick to the opinion of Pruds who produced England's number 1 rather than some ghost on the internet!

Yeah he made mistakes
However that dosnt mean he’s not good enough these things happen
And he has performed really good on occasions he is our goalkeeper and I will trust our manager

i have watched that and am still struggling to see the point you are making, the 2nd goal you must mean the one he came off his line to collect and went down exactly where the ball would have been but batth cleared it, i cannot see where he changed his mind..it seems like a good call to me, but then you need to take into account that all the players were trying hard to keep swansea out.

3rd goal, maybe he could have 'done better' but the shot actually deflected from it's original course, and from what i see it would have hit into the players anyway.

although i do agree oniens challenge was stupid (i have already said this) the ref simply lost it with the swansea players trying to start a punch up, yes it was badly timed but he also had his legs down and not high, plus as many have rightly said, if the penalty was given for that tackle on amad then onien would not be making that tackle.

Ridiculous challenge, certainly a red card

You’re right, if there wasn’t a 6 foot ****ing 5 centre back stood there he would’ve been able to potentially collect the ball. But unfortunately there was, and he wasn’t the only player between Patterson and the ball. That’s when you make the decision that you clearly can’t get anywhere near the ball so you stay put.

Luke O’niens red card would’ve been a hell of a tackle if he didn’t hit the other player… :emoticon-0102-bigsm
 
No qualms with young players making errors as its part of their development ultimately. We all learn and develop by making errors along the way, its part of the process.

It was one of those days today. Summed up by the lack of penna award to being down to ten men 30 secs later. Don't over-analyse seeing as we played 70+ mins with ten men.
 
Surprised at some of the reaction to the game. I think the ref prevented a good game of football and his incompetence lead to us having a hand tied behind our back for 70mins.

I can't really fault any of the players (maybe o9) I thought under the circumstances they showed good heart and we deserved our moment with the equaliser. Swansea are probably the worst team that could have happened against and they just passed us to death, not great football but neat and tidy with an extra man. It wore us down and eventually the task was too much.
