    Agree about Mannion's kicking. Surprised it hasn't been mentioned more.

    Not too fussed on Kaminski being injured because whilst i don't think he's as bad as a lot of people make out, i do think Mannion is a capable deputy. Neither are spectacular, not great, not terrible.

    The issue of course is if Mannion gets injured/suspended. We've then got to play a guy who's never made a league appearance and was playing for Gateshead a few weeks ago.

    He did have a hell of a lot of practising shot stopping there thou and taking goal kicks!!

    Keeper is arguably the least important position for us considering the defence does 90% of the work anyway. If you look at the games we’ve kept 11 clean sheets and picked up most our wins, besides Sheffield United, QPR, West Brom and arguably Ipswich Kaminski has had nothing to do. As long as they don’t concede a lot of horror long shots we often don’t need our keeper to do too much

    He’s a funny one. There’s a calmness about him, but he never quite takes charge of his box, either with his voice or presence. He’ll pull off a couple of superb saves, then throw in something that makes him look like he’s only just started keeping.

    His kicking is similar in that it's either rushed/weak, or on the money to start the move for a goal like Derby away and Stoke at home.

    Just as he’d hit top form, helped by having actual wing backs in front of him, he made that awful error against Portsmouth. For someone with his experience, he’s a tricky one to summarise!

    I would have a calmness about me if I was on a (reported) £20k a week…

    I must have blinked when he showed that calmness.

    So other than 36% of our clean sheets he hasn't had to do much...

    Did you not stay until the final whistle against QPR?

    Got nothing to do with being calm. He made a save.

    In the words of Roy Keane, that's his job.

    Yeah I agree it was a good shot, but TK isn't perfect but he is a great shot stopper and a great overall keeper imo
