    Evening all first time poster, why does Forde get dogs abuse for not saving a great free kick, felt both free kicks today were unstoppable all Millwall opinions welcome.

    Evening Peckham

    Didn't go to the match (obviously). Forde gets a lot of abuse for **** ups but not much praise for all the saves. A goalkeeper's life is such.

    he did flap at the free kick and really should have done better.

    Saying that I think Forde is a good keeper and does pull off some great saves to keep us in games <ok>

    Hes a great shot stopper,but i,ve always found him a bit dodgy with long range attempts.

    Peckham,

    I think Forde is a good keeper but IMO he was to blame for the equaliser. From where I was sitting (East Lower) he was looking to the right so he had an idea he was gonna put it there, then he flapped at it and the ball was in the back of the net. Fair point it was a good free kick but I feel if he was a bit more agile he could've got to it.

    Apart from that I can't belive we didn't get a point out of that game :(

    if we had a keeper that didnt **** up now & then ,then he would be gone elsewhere as i cant remember the last one that didnt flap at some point!!!!

    Forde isn't a patch on Horne or Keller, but he's one of the best in this division and loyal to us. I have never given him abuse and nor will I, although he does frustrate at times!!

    Forde frustrates the hell out of me at times but he has effectively won us games with his saves - most recently at home to Doncaster with the great flying save to his right when it was still 0-0.

    The 2 saves he made when we were 2-1 up also with the instinctive save on the line from Ward's back header and then from Jason Scotland deep in injury time low to his right. :smile:
