TLT

[5minstogo]

TLT looks a shadow of the goalkeeper we had in 2024. He was class when he came in during the playoff season.

Now suffering from a lack of confidence?

Or maybe he isn't that good, but last time he just had a ridiculous once-in-a-career purple patch like Adelakun did?

Yeah I reckon he was hugely over performing in his loan spell. That and the fact we've gone up a level also.

[Sammy Chung was King]

Could have had a stronger hand for the second goal, the fourth goal, yes should have done better. The defending was atrocious, you can’t just blame the keeper. The shots wouldn’t have got there if the centre halves and midfield in front of them were not wide open. It was a fantastic performance from the side, win as a team and lose as a team. No one individual should be blamed.

Grant dropped him earlier this season because of unreliability,  surely the decision to keep or not has already been taken. For me, well I wonder who his replacement will be?

I'm not suggesting that at all. I'm only pointing out that it a minimum of time not a maximum of time allowed for injuries. It happens all the time. I don't know where he got the extra 2 or 3 mins from. But I do know that TLT has cost us a fair few points this season

Second and third, the ball has almost gone in the middle of the net. He simply can’t get down to these types.

Fourth a complete horror show on replay. It’s virtually straight at him! I’m as angry as anyone we don’t take a booking and avoid the whole situation. But I’m sorry that is again, pathetic goalkeeping.

We’re nearly at Christmas now, has he actually gained us any points with an outstanding save or performance?

His hands are in front of his chest, it’s a straight forward catch, but he somehow decided to push it out

It's not a straightforward catch, it had some pace on it so it's a 50 50 call whether he tries to hold it, or parry it away, which he did. Could he have got more distance on it? Possibly.  I thought it was telling the first reaction of Sterry was to turn to Molly and gesture "Where we're ya?"

Similar to TSL, we're being hypercritical on the keepers when the root cause is elsewhere.

I saw Sam Johnstone yesterday make a save and pushed the ball into the danger area but his defenders cleared the ball. No hint of criticism from the commentators.

There's multiple actions in matches where players could maybe have done better but obviously when goals are conceded against us, it's easy to point the finger against the last line of defence.

It’s a straightforward collect into his body, long kick and the ref blows.

He is a professional goalkeeper. Regardless of how it played out before the shot, How is that not a routine take for him?

There was no pace on the ball, keeper practice those everyday in training, it wasn’t remotely difficult

The horror show in the blackpool friendly  certainly set the tone!!
