    So you keep saying. We will see.

    I feel like this is the Weidwald conversation all over again, and remember where that left us.

    The bottom line with this keeper is that he cost us the game v Derby.

    He will continue to cost us games, just like Weidwald did that season.

    BPF was suspect on some crosses - he was a very good shot stopper.

    The fact is that if we want to win promotion, we should have a keeper who is secure and stable in all the facets of goalkeeping, and neither of the two of them can claim that - plenty of Championship and reserve Premier League keepers can.

    I think Casilla is essential for how we play to be honest and we are just going to have to accept it will go wrong sometimes.

    In my humble opinion his distribution is atrocious.

    Can't see where bpf was that outspoken, he wanted first team football, and said so, how would bielsa have managed Bremner and co if he sold everyone who spoke out of turn, bpf showed ambition, also not as bad keeper as some make out, also don't think casilla is anywhere near as bad as wiedwald, nor silvestri.

    Not convinced about this distribution lark.
    1. Keep the ball out of the net.
    2. Kick it over the halfway line.
    3. Its somebody else's job after that.
    Or is that just too simple.

    I think it refers more to his ability to dribble to the somewhere around the centre circle and set up the next attack with a long ball to Harrison, or not.

    Correct - once he masters the scorpion kick we will have Rene Higuita.
