I think you’ve misunderstood, sixties.
I like Marshall, think he’s the best keeper we’ve had since Carson’s first season. My point was that, where others appear to have grown in confidence recently, he has, if anything, looked less certain. Tbf he literally didn’t have a save to make against Swansea but his dealing with crosses seemed less convincing than usual and he punched on two or three occasions when, imo, catching would have been a better option.
As regards Holmes, apart from being injury prone I think he’s been a good signing. Earlier this season, when we were really struggling, he often seemed to be the lone creative spark but recently he’s seemed quieter. On Wednesday I thought the timing of his involvement was perfect and expected him to come on and be more effective against a tiring Swansea but he hardly seemed to get involved creatively.
Just my opinion.
