Brooks recall?

Fair does CBP, didn't realise handball by a keeper was an automatic red.

It is debatable whether the Sutton played was denied a clear chance at goal (our two were square to him at best) but you can understand the refs thought process.

Yes it was another howler by KC before people thinks this is him being absolved of the blame. Stone was sold short with an awful pass but just stay on the edge of your box but still in the bloody box. Worse case it's 2-0 and 11v11 with 80 minutes left. If Slocombe does that vs Boreham Wood after Bostock's short ball we lose that game and are still in NL.

We bought him in to be a sweeper keeper and the first test he faced, he failed miserably no matter how the ball ended up there.

The sweeper keeper role is a possession pivot not a last line of outfield defence. He could have stayed on the edge of the box but the Sutton player was running across him. He was sold down the river and had very little choice.

totally agree. Stone could've maybe done better with the sh!t sandwich on his plate is one thing, but to say he 'failed miserably' is not correct imo.

Quite right. "Sweeper keeper" is nothing to do with it. The reason he was just outside the area was that he had to sprint to intercept and then slam the brakes on at the edge of the area. On a slippery pitch, players were sliding all over the place all through the match. To say that Cameron's back pass was awful is an understatement. It was actually as good a through ball for their striker as he could ever have wished for.

Cameron needs to go a ‘mindfulness’ course so as to be ‘more aware of the moment’ !
