Poor positioning for Norwich's second goal but not sure starting a new thread for a specific player that isn't doing any worse than the rest of team is helpful.
He got one punch wrong that was all. With the circus clowns in front of him he's doing OK. None of the goals were his fault as were none at Boro so think he's the least of our worries. In fact I'd say he's a decent keeper.
Not the keepers fault for any of the goals in my opinion, shit defending in front of him all game today
Second goal ? Wasn't entirely his fault but definitely has to take some of the blame.
Well taken goal to be honest, and I believe he came out for Bikey to head it to him, however Bikey completely missed it the header (a running theme for the game) and the rest is history. That's how I saw it anyway
What did the keeper do wrong stood no chance with either goal and punched the ball clear twice when he had no calls to do otherwise.....pretty good performance again by the lad
Since when does a keeper need to be told to catch the ball?
We have had 4 keepers this season and only one has been good enough. The keepers at the moment do not give the defence any confidence at all. Poor management to have not signed a decent championship experienced keeper with Henderson out for so long.
And yes Solly was at fault for the first and had a mare for nearly all the game.
He's shit in no man's land for the second,flaps at anything in the air we have a perfectly good young keeper in Pope that is far better than him. the ground was silent most of the night and I never heard him once with Pope or Henderson they don't stop communicating with the rest of the team for the whole game as a keeper he can see the whole pitch so can help defenders with organisation which this kid clearly doesn't
The lack of communication when defending is shocking. Solly was making shouts to the others about no talking when he was putting balls behind which he didn't need to do.
Shambles, not a great game but not at all useless, at least he can launch the ball without kicking it off the pitch.
Is that how high we have set our standards "he can kick the ball" that's the minimum he should be able to do this is the championship he's not much better than non league
He's well out of his league quality wise goalkeeping ain't all about kicking it's the hardest position on the pitch and in my opinion the boy ain't cutting it

He's better than Pope. Pope made mistakes that led to goals and was generally a shambles, Dmit hasn't reached that level yet.
For me, kicking is secondary to catching the ball under pressure. He looked scared stiff on the few occasions he was forced into catching the ball above his head, even under slight pressure. It's not looking good!

The problem is much bigger than single players.

He made one shit punch. His kicking is fine and up at Boro he made several decent saves. He just needs to start catching.

Yes he got caught out for the 2nd goal but there were alot of guilty faces for that shambles.
