    Opponents are targeting him all the time now , our defence is bricking it every time we concede a set play/corner , every club we play from here on in is going to pepper him with shots , long throws into our box , corners aimed at him , knowing full well there is a very good chance of a brucie blunder.

    Sheffield United fans are saying he's been their best player this season and who could argue with that , he's single handedly gifted them promotion by the looks of it!

    So true Rev.
    People who defend the clown point out our position at the top and certain other stats,,, and of course the [Only] penalty save on Saturday, but he has had probably the easiest season of any keeper in the championship. Most games teams sit back and we dictate everything, defence has been solid and midfield and forwards track back, so he has had among the fewest actual shots to stop in the whole championship.
    When teams DO press us [And most don't as they know how good we are on the counter] and the defence struggles. or if as on Saturday the whole team has an off day - that is when a GOOD keeper steps up to the plate - as have Cooper, Trafford and others
    Our clown basically cannot handle any pressure, the corner that he dropped on Saturday for their goal ... he wasn't even challenged??
    got to drop him, you've all seen the reaction and bafflement/anger on our outfield players faces when another calamity by Flappertyflap results in a needles goal against.
    Drop him for the rest of the season and then sell him in the summer
    Darlow cannot be as bad

    He probably needs a change of scene for his own development and state of mind.

    He is very talented just also increasingly error prone at times when it matters.

    Faces of the Leeds players when he dropped the ball suggest they are losing faith too.
