No answer to my question about the whereabouts of Almunia. If he is well again, why isn't he playing?
 
he definitely flapped BB...and the third goal he flapped big time! The trouble is, we have goalkeepers that seem to have the potential to go far, but apart from being 'good shot stoppers' as they are...they don't develop their game...so, who do we blame for that? Sorry, the buck stops at the coach imho. (cruel as that sounds lol)
I am with you on that point H and I have been suggesting it for a year or so, but it touches a nerve with many and it's heresy to many others. But how else can you explain a series of young talented keepers that just does not improve?

I've thought the same for a while too.
 
I am staggered that you say Bond wasn't up to it. Jon Marks was saying all afternoon just how good he was, with a couple of saves keeping us in it. Seen the goals and I can't see how he is to blame for them. Point a finger more at players with far more experience I would have thought.

If you watch the goals carefully the first and third he should be more decisive in coming to claim, especially the third and the second his positioning is totally wrong, as they brea down the wing, BOND has moved to almost beyond his post and then has too far to go as the ball is played back. He did make some saves and directly after i thought that hed had a good game, but when iwas asked to watch the goals back he looks very weak. However you are totally correct, for their first goal PUDIL who was playing left back wasnt even to be seen in the piucture as Mccormack breaks, the second goal i think it is, our defenders are stood in a square on the penalty spot, i would say that Nosworthy was not very good all game and as much to blame as BOND.
