I think it's time to give Simmo another chance to prove he can cut it in the Prem and the next two games are the ideal opportunity. I know the replacement keeper was vital to gain us promotion, due to Simmo's lack of command of the area but, for me, Sorenson had a mare against United and should be "rested" and, as we don't have anyone else, surely Simmo deserves another chance.

I know where you are coming from but I reckon any keeper deserves at least one chance to redeem himself before he is dropped. I'd play Soro against the Baggies. If he repeats his form against Wigan and Sunderland he should keep his place - if he repeats his form against ManU then Simo should play against Hull.

Bloody hell, Sorenson has been one of our best players this season, he lets in 5 against the Champions of Europe and you want to drop him, unbelievable.
Should we drop the whole of the midfield and both strikers as well!!!

WTF? I like Simo but he is just not the same class... Soro may have made a blunder this weekend but I'm quite possitive if he had not been between the sticks this season we would be bottom.

Nope. One bad game doesn't make a goalkeeper. When Simonsen has made an appearance this season, he's looked like he's having kittens whenever the ball's in the air near his goal. I don't want to see a return to the shambolic scenes of last season where every high ball into the six yards box resulted in a goal. Sorensen is much more commanding and comes out to punch, usually successfully, which is an incredible asset. He also communicates with his defence and certainly makes sure that they know when they're doing it wrong, Peter Schmeichel style.
Don't get me wrong, Simonsen is adequate back up and Sorensen was crap at Ronaldo's free kicks, but Sorensen is just as good a shot stopper, but there's a reason that Simonsen is the back-up keeper. Be a bit more patient.

Hardly the right message to give to any player is it really.
"I don't give a monkeys how well you've played in every game you have 1 mare and you're out."
OK if he starts looking like Gomes at Spurs but way too early for that yet. He let 1 in early and it clearly affected his confidence. A solid week in training and i'm expecting the 'Old Sorro' back for Saturday.

have you all had a drink ?
Soro has been immense up until man u....Simmo coming on, per Spurs...made me bad! Fortunately, he had little to do...but you can't deny that he is not ready for the Prem!
If Carson, Gomes and Fulop are anything by way of comparison, then we should leave Sorensen well alone!

Monkeycat, it was a question. OK Simmo was poor against Portsmouth, Sorenson was absolutely awful against Utd. Oh and yes, we should drop some of our midfield and strikers. Tonge, Soare and Whelan deserve a chance. Our biggest issue is that we don't have any strikers to bring in, unless we change the way we play and , hopefully, play Kitson as he should be played.

Well the answer to your question is, no bloody chance. My point re: midfield and forwards is that if we dropped every player who didn't perform against United, then we would be making at least 7 changes for Saturday, now how the hell can that make any sense? We certainly need to reshuffle the midfield a little but wholesale changes are not the way to go |

As has been said one poor game is no cause to drop Sorro, he has been one of our most consistent performers up to now.
I was concerned after speaking to a Villa fan I know but he has more than answered any questions I had about him.

Sorro has been excellent IMO so far this season. 1st against Man U was shocking but he has been great.

Not a prayer
Wasnt totally convinced watching Sorro against Osasuna, but has proved that he is without doubt the best keeper in our squad, and Im sure he is a big enough player to shut out the memories of one bad match/error
Clean sheet coming up Saturday

not only is he an excellent player (for free, too!) but having met him, is a really decent bloke who has time for the fans because i get the impression he is grateful to this club for another chance! I hasten to add, simmo is equally as accomodating with the fans, but the pecking order of 'keepers, is bang on the nail, IMO ;D

Sorenson is the first definite on the team sheet.
His command and positional play has been outstanding.

Are you dizzy blud? Sorro didn't even have a bad game, perhaps he could have done better with one of the free kicks but his command of the area and gathering was as excellent as usual. He is a brilliant keeper and I even thought at the match Im glad that we've got tommy in goal and not simmo.

I do worry about some of you on here. He didn't have his best game, but it wasn't a total howler. Just a save he probably could have made. He's been immense up till now, and is experienced to get on with it and have a stormer against West Brom.
I think you should be questioning dropping the likes of Olofinjana who's been a bag of wank apart from perhaps one game. I'm afraid that Seyi has become one of Tony's undroppables.

Either Oli or Diao need dropping next week to be honest I am not too bothered which one as both of them were very poor at the weekend. Diao had two shot that wouldn't have been on target if the goal was 3 times as big. |

I don't think so, at least not yet.
If he has another nightmare game, then yes because his confidence is obviously shot.
To be honest, Simo needs confidence as well, so it's a decision Pulis is welcome to.

Sorro had a bad game against The Shit, but he is still an AWESOME keeper. Although I feel confident of Simmo's cover. Still a great cover.

No chance as much as i like simmo and he seems to love the colub sorro is by the far the better keeper and has been outstanding this season and to get rid after one bad game would be madness!!

No chance. Simmo is a good back up for us now and he did well for us in the past but like already mentioned i was less than impressed with him at the pompey game especially as i felt he could have prevented there first goal by claiming the original ball into the box that was then crossed back over for crouch. Sorrenson has shown in a fair few games that he is a better keeper than simmo. Thats no disrespect to simmo who is a good shot stopper but i think that the defense is more confident with sorrenson there.

No, Sorensen is better. GK's dont need to be rested, it only damages confidence.

There is no difference between both Simmo and Sorro because as good as shotstoppers that they are neither of them command their area with any authority.
Personally speaking i would much prefer to see a different goalkeeper in the first team and preferably one who commands his area.
