What's this bloody ref doing with Chuks...🤷♂️0

Isted deserves to be dropped. AMB is our other keeper. I’m not advocating that either should be here next year, although one probably will be, why should Isted be allowed to keep fucking up?Croydon said:

Cambridge doing better this half than the last one.
Struggling to get control of the game again here, giving away some silly set pieces2 -
Keep one of Isted/AMB as back up but need a quality first choice keeper.3

Chance headed off the line from a Chuks header2

But we won’t get two better keepers. Hopefully we’ll get one but if the second is an improvement on AMB then he’ll be starting. Amazes me how some people still don’t understand this. If a keeper is good enough then he won’t want to be a number 2, unless the bag is big enough and he’s not bothered about playing.Croydon said:

100% . Other than Small and Ramsay get new keepers and starting defence.Croydon said:Surely not shit defending and goalkeeping again...
Get rid of them all in the summer
They've cost us so much this season and not good enough.3 -
Would we do better with FFP if we sell Maynard-Brewer? - Thinking back to the other Transfer Windows with Chelsea, and how they'd potentially get around their spending, by selling Gallagher (as he's a Youth Product) over another player0

Charlton Life would explode if we started wearing purple instead of red.2 -
Respect the logic here but I don’t think either of them are good enough.. wether or not he’s given an opportunity… at most it would give a bench selection issue for Jones next season.. we need a new number 1 and I’d assume Isted will be number 2 with AMB out on loan next year.Fortune 82nd Minute said:

Correct, this. I think Isted is probably good enough to be a #2. I think it's highly unlikely to get two better keepers in. So I suspect we'll keep one of AMB or Isted, whoever the club rate more highly in the medium to long term, and let the other go and look to bring in a new #1.JaShea99 said:

Hector is very good at this level.3

AMB was good last season. Then he had to play behind one of the worst, actually probably the worst, defence I’ve ever seen represent Charlton. Then we had the Appleton effect. AMB’s errors weren’t so much about failing to stop shots he should save, it was decision making which we know confidence plays a huge part in. Appleton was an huge negative for the whole teams confidence. NJ has rebuilt some of that and we’ve seen players like Hector, Thomas, Watson (T), Kanu, Campbell (even May) benefit from that and improve. Who is to say AMB won’t look better again if he’s given some game time.SDAddick said:
AMB was given a LOT of chances both last season and this season. And he showed that he also had a mistake in him, oftentimes a worse one than Isted. I don't think we're learning anything new about AMB at this point. I think he'll be gone, maybe one loan, in the summer.Exiled_Addick said:Time for AMB to get a chance until the end of the season, see if he can do any better now he’s had a spell out of the side and playing behind generally improved team.

Isted seems to be seen as the better keeper of the two at this point, and I think that's right. But I don't think either are good enough to match our stated ambitions.And, as I say, Isted needs to suffer some consequence for persistently not being good enough.4 -

I don't know how these things are calculated but AMB is obviously home grown but Isted was a free, so I don't know if the FPP calculations are drastically different.ForeverAddickted said:Would we do better with FFP if we sell Maynard-Brewer? - Thinking back to the other Transfer Windows with Chelsea, and how they'd potentially get around their spending, by selling Gallagher (as he's a Youth Product) over another player1 -
Cousins clattered by Karoy. We seem to be clinging on a bit.1

We won’t be getting any money for either keeper4

I think I watched most of AMB’s games this season and the only ‘mistake’ I can recall is against Port Vale away where maybe he should have come for the header. Isteds distribution is better but AMB is a much better goalkeeper overall. I am mystified by the negative views of himSDAddick said:

Isted in comparison flaps at things and virtually never saves anything that is aimed at him. I really think this is one decision that Nathan has got completely wrong1 -
This ref is doin' my bloody 'ead in...ffs where do they find 'em2

And both still have a year on their contracts.Redhenry said:We won’t be getting any money for either keeper1 -
Well,this is all rather shit,gone down to Cambridges standard of football,been sucked into lots of stupid fouls,not being helped by their theatrics3

I don't know that confidence is the biggest factor in decision making, and AMB has shown during every run in the side that decision making is his downfall. I agree he's the better pure shot stopper of the two, but every other part of his game: coming off his line, kicking, and decision making are weaker.Exiled_Addick said:

Obviously yes NJ has made this team better, but the issues AMB had under Apples were the same he had under Holden. Maybe he'd be better under Jones, but I also think he would have been dropped a lot sooner if Isted was fit. I think this is a case of the grass is greener.3 -
