    I agree with part in bold, I always felt that he couldn't be that bad given that he was their POTY. He was unlucky to be thrown into fire last season, we struggled with GK errors, and then also Barca game.

    Should be getting a look in for a start I think. Not onlyafter Gordon's error and continued struggles at the near post, but I think DDV was great all pre season. Made some top notch saves and his kicking was outstanding.

    I think Brendan's caught the Deila bug when it comes to the GK position. Seems like after Gordon proved he can compete last season, he will not be dropped for any circumstance. I was surprised when he got the start against Killie in the cup. Thought for sure he'd have the decency to give Dorus a go.

    I hope he's given a chance to throw his name back into the hat for a start. I doubt we will get another keeper in this window, and if DDV isn't given a chance to compete, there will be very little pressure on Gordon to hone up mistakes like he made today.

    After Gordon giving a goal away on purpose today he has to start the next match. Not a matter of quality, it's a matter of character

    I think Craig Gordon is the more beautiful human being though

    Rumours that he's starting today?

    Hopefully he makes his chance count. Thought he was great in pre season, and probably deserved a start in one of the cup games earlier this season.

    Deserves all the credit in the world. First competitive match in a year and he stood on his head in the second half with a few really good saves. Also thought his distribution improved after a few poor punts in the first half. After seeing him much improved in the pre season, I think he's starting to show the keeper he was supposed to be when we brought him in.

    I think it's probably too late for him to have any major impact with us (with his contract being up and Gordon seemingly rated with BR), but I'd welcome him getting a better chance at challenging Gordon.

    Much, much better than many give him credit for. He was outstanding against Sunderland in pre-season, and kept us from dropping points today.

    Made a few great saves today, which turned out to be vital.
