Yep - you are repeating yourself - I haven't watched it all, but I understand he also made some good saves...
I ain't one to judge purely on a shot he probably should have saved... mistakes are made - but in fairness you must also judge the whole performance...

Was hoping they would show the two penalty shouts people said we had? Anybody have any clips of them.

From the angle of the camera it looks like Timmy could of just stood still and caught it.

Should of been 2 up prior to that though.
Glenn should of been sliding that ball through and not trying to score from there

My comments are absolutely in context.

Terrible mistake v Bradford - cost us a goal.

2 terrible mistakes v Wigan - cost us the game and set off this run of bad form. Poor mistake also for the 3rd goal which he should have saved.

Terrible mistake failing to make a simple catch costing a corner v Wimbledon which we concede from.

Terrible mistake miskicking a clearance v Wimbledon from which they score from. 2 mistakes helping to cost us the game.

Terrible mistake failing to collect a high hanging cross v Northampton. Rovers fortunate not to concede thanks to an on the line clearance.

Terrible mistake for the goal today costing us a win. Another mistake (shown in the highlights) after the goal which we were fortunate not to concede from thanks to an on the line clearance.

That's at least 9 mistakes in his last 5 league appearances leading to 7 goals conceded and 8 points dropped.

Yes he's made some good saves as well, as you'd expect from a pro keeper, including a superb penalty save last week but.... come on!

Mistakes are made but you can't continue to pick a goalkeeper making so many mistakes match after match. Hence my exasperation.

Not a great highlights reel that, especially for those of us not there. Makes the game look very poor if that's the extent of action worth showing.

Their goal, TLT and a possible deflection aside...this is something that continues to frustrate me, letting runners from midfield carry the ball 20-30 yards without getting tight or a tackle, and then the player either gets a shot off or plays a ball unopposed. It happens an awful lot. We've got to do better stopping those scenarios happening before hoping TLT can make a save.

But I must admit I was very pleased with the TLT signing in the summer. Not so sure now.
