Trafford cannot command his box.

I must have been watching a different game, I thought Trafford was excellent, rarely troubled, caught every centre he was entitled to catch, and but for the blatant foul and usual VAR pantomime would have kept a clean sheet.

Thank god your watching posting sense Sinkov

For me he had a very good game and as you say the Var *******s robbed him of what he deserved. ( not the team - we were second best in most areas ).

Ross Barclay bossed midfield and ran the show we could t get near him.

Yes he had a good game for 93 minutes Army and then made a crucial mistake in coming for a ball he was never going to get.Muric would have dealt with it.
Regarding Barkley, the difference in class was startling.His long balls and vision stood him apart from the rest.I thought he was MOTM.He ran rings round Brownhill and Cullen.Clever signing by Luton who I think may be the one promoted team that will survive.Our recruitment last summer was as bad as the previous summer was good.

At least there are two of us not infected with TDS army. I have no agenda with Trafford, he's by no means the finished article, but he's getting there and I just tell it as I see it. I also watch other keepers in the PL closely, and James Trafford is not the only one who gets it wrong occasionally, not by a million miles.

He consistently gets it wrong on the BIG moments and he is costing us games and points. Rewind the Arsenal & Everton highlights just to remind yourself how much like Dracula he really is.

If you want to see a really dodgy keeper, run through some Forest highlights, and there are plenty of others, check out the Verbruggen comedy half hour at Brighton for just one example.

You can’t seriously be blaming him for Everton goal - Brownhill just let’s the runner go and he has a free header

More than half the issues we have conceding goals come from defenders and midfielders not doing their jobs properly - it’s easier to blame Trafford for everything though.

The big lad headed it in from under the crossbar, the defence needs to do much better in protecting Trafford.

I'd love to know what goes on at Gawthorpe.

All good defences have a calm leader, as well as a calm keeper. Trafford doesn’t seem to panic. However, we need a Tarkowski or a Mee in there. Some of our defensive work looks panicky. Rio Ferdinand described some of our defensive errors as «*schoolboy*». Trying to play out from the back whilst surrounded by a high press is not sensible. Thankfully, after the Everton game, we seem to be playing it longer more often. Bring back Bashley!

This is your problem mon ami, we don't exist in a vacuum, if we have a player who makes three mistakes a game then you will whinge about him. If the average number of mistakes a player makes per game in that league is four, then we have a good player. But that would have gone right over your head and you'd still be whingeing about him.

You need to take a more holistic view of the game mon ami, then you wouldn't need to be throwing so many hussy fits about our promising young keeper.
