So there we have it
As Gazza said he would have been disappointed he did not do better but there are mitigating circumstances - I personally think he should have been on loan for the first half of the season instead of being thrown straight in, with people wanting Nardi - Then brought him back in Jan with game time behind him and ready for first team appearances.
The whole goalkeeping situation has been farcical this season with the chopping and changing - Not sure what direction we need to take next season but time will tell I'm sure.
Thanks Brian for your goalkeeping expertise [Post edited 15 Mar 9:17]

Another well respected poster on this forum and who is always a fair judge of keepers, is Mr McCarthy
If you read this Brian, was Walsh at fault for their goal?? |

Point taken Gary, but I am referring to the usual suspects - You know who I mean - And the ones who have been 'planted here' - Sadly a reflection on all social media.
I don't want people saying 'Hurrah everything is great', but credit players/coach when things are in a positive situation
Anyway, that's just my personal view |

I haven't read through other threads on this board because most of it is rant rant rant and its same old posters out of the woodwork when we are doing badly that we never hear from when we are playing well.
But when DaveB posts (rain or shine) - its always constructive as the opening post is. Last nights whole game, not just the first half was unacceptable and I'll be honest I switched off on 60 mins.
I consider myself one of the more positive posters (either that or delusional or both) but even I am now getting nervous - especially when I am receiving mocking texts from Charlton supporters I know.
So I'll give my take from players upwards. There are players out there, so low on confidence its untrue always reflective with a young squad. Some need taking out of the firing line and given a rest because its not just confidence some are just worn out. Saito, Kone, Walsh, and even Dunne all need a spell out but we just have no one adequate to replace them. We have players like Varane, JCS all coming back from injury and in truth not up to speed with the game. This in turn is causing others to be under pressure too and its just continuous
The manager: I just don't think he is the problem really. If he had a full squad to pick from I am sure he would have done a lot of things differently. He just isn't getting the support from above - And I dont blame him for loaning Sam Field, I think that blame lays above him.
Nourry/Hoos/Williams: For me, this is where the issues are, especially Williams and Nourry. They are the cancer of this club currently, and quite simply need to go. I don't take any notice of the alleged ITK the people on here who again only pop up when things are going badly - Its obvious to everyone that those two are the issue and at least one of them have to go in the Summer.
Our owners: Simply put, we need them, BUT we need them to be on the ball and see what is happening here because as has been said over the last few weeks we are clearly in a bad way and something needs to change.
I know people wont agree with everything I have written, but from feeling really positive, I am now so fed up I just wish we would fall over the 52 point line and I can relax and enjoy the cricket season and look forward to the beginning of August with the blind optimism that I have every year. |

Brutal taking the keeper off after 15 minutes too because you are 3-0 down |

Correct
And I also think management are too belligerent to make any changes and the lack of runs at the top of the order will cost us any chance anyway |

Banton is automatic choice
Have Jacks open and for those that dont think that Jos should be dropped move him down the order. Jacks has really shone this tournament so get him up the order. Or use Banton in to open as he also does for Somerset.
Lets face it, Somerset are one of the best T20 county sides, so use these players in their right positions. |
