Agree. For me, TLT has lost the shirt and now it’s Lawlor’s to lose.

His confidence is shot.

He can’t catch and he can’t kick.

Fundamentals for a keeper.

Lawlor will start Wednesday and if he plays half decent he’ll probably start against Luton.

He catches the ball like a basketball player rather than clutching it to his chest; it seems such a fundamental technical error in a professional keeper.

TSL is a far superior keeper

Absolutely garbage.

Their first he was stood towards that post. I don’t know how it’s gone in.

The second he seemed to fall to the floor rather than a proper dive. The shot wasn’t in the corner.

Very soft all round.

He definitely needs a break from the team, his confidence has definitely dropped.

He is a good keeper, just having a mare of it at the minute, needs an arm round him to boost him back up.

Horrific from TLT.

Lets not forget the corner came from his dropped attempt, then nearly gave a pen away, then stood on his line for their first.

Last 6 goals conceded have all been errors, or should have done much better.

He really isn't. Bolton fans think he's horrific. Some of our fans have a weird obsession with the guy with the second worst save percentage in League One.

TLT was poor today and over the last 3 games he has definitely struggled, however, unsure on whether the weather conditions today contributed to that. Like has been mentioned further up, Lawlor will play next and if he does well then he starts in the league.

TLT is turning into a certified donkey, Lawlor must start against spurs and even if we lose 10-0, give him a go in the league

Are you sure that he was really tested in his first spell? I certainly didn’t notice how unconventional his handling was. I do remember the Gillingham incident which was reminiscent of some of his recent eccentricities, but we just wrote it off at the time.

He's been largely poor since coming back.

Caller on football heaven called out the other 10 players not doing their jobs. Really daft phone call, Wimbledon doing a job on us. They'd not until the TLT gifted them the game.

When we went from one of the worst teams in the league to 5th place? Yeah, you're probably right he was never challenged...

Someone once said its funny how players not playing in a losing team suddenly become worldbeaters.

Lawlor might have had one good cup game but there's a reason no one was clamoring for him to get a new contract after his first stint here.

I'd give our back four at the time a lot of credit for that. Like he says how much did TLT really have to do? Pipe and slippers most matches.

How often do you see any keeper being given MOTM?

Shouting “WHAYYYYYYYY” when he catches a ball bouncing towards him will certainly help nobody. I do wish we got 30,000 fans a game to drown out this sort of stupidity from so called supporters.

Having said that… TLT needs to be taken out the firing line for a few games. His errors will now breed uncertainty between the defenders. His nerves will be shot to bits after another poor performance.

There is no doubt his confidence gone. Even in the first half, Wimbledon put in a few crosses into the 6 yard box and it was noticeable he never attempted to collect or get something on them. Definite sign that confidence is shot when you stay put and hope someone else deals with it. Give him a break, up to Lawlor now to keep the shirt.

I can agree his confidence has gone.

But the question is why? Until last week we were 2nd in the league and we hadn’t been hammered.
He’d not had any stick at games.

Seems to have gone very easily.

You don’t lose all ability in a week. Stick with him and he’ll be fine.

I agree. Keepers make mistakes and have bad runs just like non scoring strikers do.

It's when he catches crosses at chest height rather than above his head that throws me off

I also listened to the radio Sheffield caller, and was in disbelief with his comments on TLT, but I do agree we were poor all over the pitch, with only Maxwell looking decent.

I am concerned about player fitness at the moment, a few lads were really struggling, some from the first half.
Sterry is clearly not ready for first team football, and I’m not sure McGrath is either,  why risk anything with our squad size.

As to why TLT is clearly shot confidence wise - he knows he has been th3 culprit for everyone of the goals against in the last 3 games, and he made the same mistakes again, it would play on anyone’s mind, and will not be helped by mindless cheering when he does catch something.

Obviously TLT is now in poor form but what the hell..

He's lost the shirt?
He's now a donkey?
Needs a break from the team?

f**k sake how fickle can you get. We're not playing footy manager here. Time to put an arm round him and get his confidence back up. He hasn't forgotten how to be a keeper in three games.

Find it mad how you call for his head after literally three bad games. Jonathan Mitchell he is not.
