He should certainly been given another chance. We needed another keeper when Lewis got injured but MacInnes should have gone for an experienced player in the mould of Neil Alexander as back up to Rodgers. Instead he goes for a 20 year old on loan from Newcastle with the terms of the loan requiring that he be played. What that has done for Rodgers confidence is anybody's guess but it will not have done it any good. When he got Danny Ward in it was completely different as we had two dud goalkeepers on the books and MacInnes rightly played him from the start. I do not think Blackman is any improvement on Rodgers and he could be worse. I expect Rodgers will be gone at the end of the season and it sends exactly the wrong message to youngsters like Wright, Ross and the like.
