    Don't get me started on his kicking, utterly woeful keeper, We need a lot better.

    I can't be * doing the counting, however going from the days of Boruc and Foster to Gordon, doesny bare thinking about.

    Gordon is pish, we need a better keeper, simple as.

    Perfect back up considering we need a certain number of HG players but genuinely think a first choice keeper is a priority now. Made one great save when he kept the chip out but better communication and/or positioning and it wouldn't have been such a difficult save in the first place.

    Lincoln Imps Goalie looked half decent, as good as anything in the SPFL.
    And Priced @ lawell money, could prove a great buy going by how he shut us out for so long.

    Definitely Gordon was at fault for first goal, no command of his area and slow to react to a obvious threat. He is ok but nothing special.

    Think we missed a trick not going after Danny Ward, would've provided some real competition for Gordon that he's sorely lacking. Fasan and Bailly will never be good enough to be number one. Really liked the look of Ward too, good modern goalkeeper. In Gordon's defence though he hasn't been the same since we've been chopping and changing the backline, in his first season we had a consistent pairing whereas since we've probably played the same two centre backs for a couple of games before the pairing has changed which won't have done him any favours.

    You want to get rid of Gordon and replace him with the Gibraltan champions keeper?

    Come on, now. If Gordon goes we spend money on a good, long term option. I don't think it is an area that needs addressing in this window, though.

    I'd go for Michel Vorm or Thomas Kraft at Hertha Berlin. Germany is flush with good keepers, not just the well known ones either.

    The first goal was a combination of errors and not solely Craig Gordon.

    Not solely his fault but he has to take the majority of the blame. For such an experienced keeper to be so shaky at set-pieces is shocking. He gets stuck in no-mans land more than Rab Douglas ever did.

    He pulled off some great saves. The marking from both centres at crosses were dreadful.

    Yeah I don't think a 38 year old part time goalie is the solution

    To be fair to Gordon he's probably * it on every attack, We never look comfortable defending and with Ambrose in front of him he'll be constantly anticipating disaster. When Erik and Toure are fit and have a run of games together i think we'll start seeing a more confident and better Craig Gordon.

    Id rather he stayed on his,line during corners. Hed have saved that poor header if he just stood there instead of jumping behind the defender giving him an open goal to put his high easily saved central header in.

    He's a fantastic shot stopper, but... he's also one of the biggest cowards I've seen patrol a goal line. Any time there's a chance of serious contact he pulls out of the challenge or he punches instead of holding.

    Like others are saying, I think he's going to need to be replaced, but not a priority for now

    Agreed, what has happened to our support, that was at least 2 of ye filthy hers taking our Lord's name in vain.

    Get real and read the @ part! re Lawell.

    Realistic point and No joke, going by our lack of signings recently and last few years.
    Name one decent signing of note we have signed and actually paid money for in past 5 years.

    Griffiths is the only obvious who springs to my mind, and unlike a good few of the cloud based fans on here who slagged him (without irony) before he even arrived and did not want him! I was among the minority who predicted he would be a great buy for Celtic!
