    Thank gawd for Craigy...feel frustrated about the display/performance today but if it wasn’t for those saves we could all be feeling a whole lot worse

    What about when he headed the ball in the first half, no way was that a deliberate back pass, that showed poor decision making and * awareness for someone of his experience.

    I take your point mate about the pressing aspect, but he is a big reason as he’s so slow in making a decision it allows teams to organise and then press. I said it earlier he’s from an era where the GK holds the ball takes stock and gives his team a breather.. this is not the way we’re trying to play.

    I’m sure we’ll add in this window or next, but difficult to find what we’re looking for. Over to you Lee Congerton..

    Well Neuer is probably the pinnacle in terms of his ability with the ball at his feet.

    Ederson at Man City is fantastic on the deck and a great shot stopper.

    Jordan Pickford to a lesser degree.

    I quite like Mathew Ryan at Brighton. He’d be a good signing.

    The * nearly made me have a cardiac arrest there what the * was he thinking!

    There was a moment in the second half when Windass was pressing him and he nearly passed it straight to him.

    Going to need to get a pacemaker fitted because of him!

    The header was decision making I agree.
    As for the speed of distribution, he does seem to wait until we're set (centre halves in line with the side of the box, Brown central and full backs high and wide) every time. Management instructions?
    I'd be very surprised if we sign a gk in Jan.

    De Vries should get more game time.
    And the point was made elsewhere, not sure which thread, that him, Gamboa, Kouassi and some of the youngsters should get more game time which I agree with. Bit more rotation.

    He must be happy enough with what he's got.

    If we can, we should be trying to strengthen such an important now. In time for our CL Qualifiers..

    We say the same every January window.
    Here's hoping we do some business!

    That's a year now since we signed kouassi in last year January window, always think any chance he's had he's looked good, wouldn't mind seeing brown kouassi and Ntcham in midfield and if we're signing that boy Lewis Morgan , * loaning him back for end of season, wee man looks good, make him part of team plans after new year
