    Even in the first half, it was hardly a Boruc or Forster -esque performance. Was decent though.

    Distribution was just as usual - atrocious.

    We’ve all said his distributon will cost us a goal whether that be directly or indirectly. Tonight he literally distributed it to the opposition players feet on his 18yard box.

    And to top it all off, his hands outstretched and shouting just after the goal went in...as if to say it wasn’t my fault. *.

    Get Bain in.

    Brillianr shotstopper my *! Makes about one great save out of 5.

    Even that isn't enough to mask how much of a nonchalant * he is

    That I understand, I find him extremely arrogant and patronising when he talks and that attitude is there on the pitch, how dare a striker close him down...

    BR: Craig was brilliant in the evening and made some very good saves. He made a mistake and that's ok, sometimes that happens as a keeper.

    Made a few good saves. The same way a striker can make some decent shots, but still doesn't score.

    Claimed to be a great shot stopper. Still waiting to see the proof of this in recent years.


    First goal, for a shot stopper, that header is straight at him and he flaps.
    He flaps shortly after and almost conceded a second.
    He then does THAT for the second goal and his interview was a disgrace, he's tried to pull that * before, never takes responsibility.
    Then there is that kick in the first half and he actually is laughing it off.

    Guys getting * worse.

    Anyone still defending him needs to wake the * up. He is a liability and we need better.
    Bain has barely done a thing wrong, deserves a run in the team.

    Never saying anything but that publically. He looked seething when it happened but

    Good shot stopper but * me his decision-making, concentration and distribution (whether it's with his feet or hands) is seriously poor.

    He made countless good saves tonight, a couple of very very good ones.

    He's always had that * up in him and could have cost us dearly tonight, he's getting on a bit and should be looking to replace him, don't think bain is good enough to be our no1

    Aye. He also made a calamitous mistake that you'd punch your kid in the face for doing at an under 10s game.

    I thought tonight summed him up. Two brilliant saves, but woeful distribution and always a howler in him.

    Need better than him.

    Craig Gordon was very lucky that we qualified despite his massive clanger for their 2nd goal . His distribution gets worse the greater the pressure he's under , any clown can find a fellow player when there's zero pressure . I'm not yet sold on Bain , but he's definitely better than Gordon with the ball at his feet . A possible change in the pecking order ? I wouldn't bet on it .
