Careful now that sounded almost like a compliment🤣 It was a really good save. We still need better though. Thats really clear. Saves well,but soft on crosses ,if someone can teach him not to be afraid of crosses in August we could have a very good keeper

50/50 blame with cousins for the goal, but other than that he was brilliant Thought it at the time and just watched it again but is Vokes not culpable here. He can head away uncontested but gets involved with Bruno’s man unnecessarily and goes underneath the flight of the cross. No way Vokes is marking anyone, he’s the free man who attacks the ball usually and doesn’t do it for their goal. The look on his face and Bruno’s reaction certainly suggest he was at fault.

The players have much more confidence in him than Butland.
Hopefully we'll offload Butland this summer even if it means giving him away.

Do shut up. It was a free header. Blame Cousins not the keeper A free header 3 yards from the goal line. Keeper has to claim it.

The ball for the goal should have been dealt with at the front post. There was no way Davies should have been out to claim it, it was barely above head height by time it reached the 6 yards box.
Looks bad because the first man missed it and Cousins lost his man.

Nobody will think any less of you. He's not Lev Yashin but he's a more than adequate keeper at this level as his recent performances have shown.

He’s generally excellent in that position. He knew full well it was on him.

He’s really not. I disagree entirely. I play in nets myself and like to think I know a bit about what is an oft-misunderstoid specialist position. I have also have seen Davies play live on more than one occasion prior to him signing for Stoke - he is dependable if not spectacular. Commands his area well and marshalls his defence when required. Does the basics well and makes the occasional decent save too. Are there better keepers at this level available? Yes. Would I shit my knickers if he started as our #1 next season. Not even a skidmark.

I know Butland saved one the other day but I honestly think we'd have lost that shoot out with him in goal.

He can't not start as No.1 choice really, can he?
Which makes the urgency to get Jack fixed up elsewhere more pressing, almost regardless of what money we bring in for him
We can't have a no.2 keeper who's 99.9% sure to leave on a Bosman next summer on 25-30k-a-week.
