Meslier

After being highly critical of him after the hull debacle, I have to praise him for last nights two superb saves which saved our forwards blushes, we should have been 4 up at least by half time, piroe and James were most wasteful in front of goal, two one on ones with the keeper, if it hadn?t been for meslier we could have been looking at a draw, he has redeemed the hull game, but still owes us for the Sunderland boob, well done last night young man.

I have also been critical of him this season.

However, he was outstanding yesterday. Without him that game could have gone very differently.

The save low down to his left was excellent. Their keeper had a mare for the Bogle goal too.

4 worldies and 1 howler.
It may be something that we have to learn to live with.

Their keeper did have a bit of a mare, but also produced some good saves

Probably saved em at least 3 or 4 goals.

No one could have complained had it been 6-0 to us.

He did well but my hope is we get rid. Still can?t command his 6 yard box and flaps at crosses. Considering his height he should be catching more and punching more.

Unfortunately, I think he will get found out again big style in the Prem so as I say, I hope he goes.

Ok, its all ifs, buts, maybes, but those howlers have cost us, 6 pts added to what we have, a decent little gap etc, Couple of good saves yes, but those mistakes were schoolboy level, forgiven, not yet.

Teams in this diivision and the Premier league all know he's a flapper and so target him at set pieces,every time at corners there are about ten players in the six yard box! havent seen any other keeper targetted in quite the same way.The same happened two seasons ago I remember Spurs just putting three or four in front of him, the back lad just pushes the other three and over he goes- leaving a tap in for Kane - Spurs wherent even in the game until then.
He's six foot seven and cant catch a ball?

I;m with you, hope he goes in the summer, always been decent shot stopper - but set pieces arggghhhh
I still see him as a liability and we will need better in the prem.
