    He's been doing this for ages, keeps making the same mistakes, i really wish Brendan would drop him and give Bain a run until we secure a new GK.

    From that kind of distance, all you can do is make yourself big. There isn't time to react and it is much more difficult to read headers than shots. He made himself big and was unlucky.
    Agree about the kicking, mate. Really poor.

    I'm inclined to agree with whoever it was that blamed Ntcham. The time their winger had to pick out a cross was scandalous. I remember thinking "this is a goal here" before the ball even left his foot. Give quality players time to pick their spot like that, they will pick out their man more often than not.

    Yes he made some great saves but it doesn't mean he had a great game. If Rosenberg hadn't of equalised Craig would be in for a rough few weeks. At times he is a great shot stopper but he seems very prone to these kind of howlers. Remember that goal we conceded to fenerbache in EL, well he out done himself last night. Can't take to Gordon at all

    Second goal was absolutely inexcusable. He isn’t good enough to be our number one and we will not make progress in Europe if he remains so.

    Give Bain a run.

    Infuriates me how a professional footballer no matter what position you play can’t pass a ball. No excuses. He just doesn’t think when passing. He either puts the ball straight out of play, gifts it to the opposition or puts his own teammates under unnecessary pressure.

    All the fans can see it. Hope Brendan finally opens his eyes to this. Bain makes me feel a lot more comfortable although I still think we need another keeper really, not saying Bain can’t be the first choice with a bit of time.

    Incredible how nonchalant he is about it. Making up excuses in his mind ,immediately.

    I'll just leave this here for the "shot stopper" brigade. :blahblah1

    Hes a * liability.

    No argument, no "kept us in it" patter, no "bain isnt any better"... no excuses.

    And hes only getting worse. Lets * face it... he DOESNT LEARN, and worse still NEVER... EVER takes responsibility.

    Get rid. ASAP.

    I have a lot of respect for how he has come back after the injury he suffered. I don't particularly care his heart is more jambo than us, players have left us to play elsewhere and had us still in their heart.
    There's no question he was a talented keeper. And I've pretty much always been a defender of him, keeper is my position too so I'd have a soft spot for him when he's getting abuse.
    He made some good saves the other night and I wouldn't blame him for the first as it comes at him fast and at an awkward height.

    But I'm done. He needs moving on. That mistake is terrible. He cannot play the ball with feet. He just can't. He's tried to be fair, he's done what he's been asked to do but he's just not capable. Bain moves it faster and more accurate. Is he a better keeper, I don't know. He'd need a run of games and we'd need to get a good look at him but I'd move him in now for a few games.
    Although, there's been a few making the point he's done nothing wrong in the games he's played. Mostly. I remember the League cup qf v St Johnstone it was late and we were 1 up and he came charging to the edge of the box for a cross and got nowhere near it, they headed it wide or over. We were also down to 10 at the time as I think Boyata had walked at that stage. That was a bad decision and could have been costly.

    We need to sign a keeper.

    That's cause he's a * imposter. It's not just his ability that stinks but his mentality. He is more suited for them, than us.

    He will never get better if he doesn't accept responsibility
