Why are we still in this situation with goalkeepers?
We’ve struggled for a goalie for 5 years now.
Peter Grant brought in Mehmet who quickly had to be dropped because he was dropping clangers. The Welsh goalie coach guy, Williams? Had to step in. Then he went and the young polish guy (Jacob something) came in.
Then we were down in the seaside league, Mehmet was under little pressure and not tested much, fine, but then in a fit of lunacy Mcpake hands Mehmet a contract extension.
Back up to championship and Mehmet returns to form, costing us goals all over the camp. More loan goalies (Dundee guy and Tobi) are brought in as sticking plasters because Mehmet is still struggling and the Germans won’t spend 50p. Is what it is.
But then finally last summer with a bit of investment floating about you’d assume we will finally solve the problem and sign a competent and proven goalie, but no, we loan in a very green goalie from rangers and pick up another young guy from down south to add in with Mehmet. All three play and never make the number one jersey their own. All cost us soft goals.
Why are we still here?! Why was this never fixed?! The goalie blunders have cost us 15 points this season by my count. We’d be so much better off had we just brought one good goalie in. It’s really got me p155ed off. Of all the areas of the team that needed a bit of money spent this would have been the one that would have improved us most in terms of points on the board. Can someone make sense of this for me please? I don’t believe for a minute Lennon was happy with the goalie situation.

There are 10 players in front of our keeper……blame the keeper or blame the manager for his line up?

Hoolie, we played quite well today, but we gave away 3 goals for nothing. So yes, I will absolutely blame the goalies for that. There are other games this season where awful goalkeeping has cost us a point or more. It needs fixed in the summer.

Get a keeper coach who can actually tech them to catch it would help.
This is Andy Tod`s world and we are lucky to live in it.

I agree to a certain point Hoolie , yes there are 10 in front of them and I have tried to give my view on this
Our keepers have had a good few howlers this season ,
And it has cost us many points , it`s not easy being a keeper one mistake it`s a goal ! up front you miss a chance it`s hardly talked about but missing a chance can change the outcome of a game as much as a boob by the Goalie , but the bigger picture is we need to stop giving teams a goal or two of a start , because we all know we aint coming back from this ,

The two goalkeeping errors cost us the game in reality. I`d park the refereeing performances and change the narrative. Its becoming a distraction. Bottom line is we need to focus on turning around the performances to winning games.

I don`t like criticising keepers too much but the recruitment in the summer was definitely poor. Munn was brought in to be our #1 and already he`s dropped down to league two to get a game.

I wasn`t there today so I don`t know how egregious the errors were but I thought the manager was pretty harsh on Terrell when saying he`s not been able to rely on our keepers.
He`s made a mistake but he`s a young keeper learning his trade. He`s been rewarded for good form with a new deal just last week and during this week we could have been 3 down before Morton scored, had it not been for him.
The keepers maybe aren`t the level we need right now but the manager should be looking at why these shots are coming in and why we aren`t creating and taking chances at the other end.

We need to reevaluate the steven mill lookalike goalie coach.

I think Lennon’s public statements today were out of order about our goalkeepers.
Even his old boss Martin O’Neil didn’t do that with Schmeichael after Thursday.
These things should be private and behind closed doors.
To highlight one goalkeeper nevermind two in one interiew is bad enough for public viewing and isn’t going to make them full of confidence going forward.
