He’s not better than McCarthy. And I’ve got every right to say what I’ve said in my last post when I’ve got wallies telling me
I should eat humble pie. Load of old bollocks.
I agree that it was good tactics by Roy today and I also think it’s been smart of him to rotate between the two goalies in his time with is so far. I just can’t stand the idiots coming on here banging their drum on the odd good game that he has, trying to paint over his sketchy past with us and pretend that he’s this amazing goalkeeper that they’ve been trying to say he is all along. We need better. We’ve always needed better and we have to go out and find better. I don’t give a s*** if you think that’s disrespectful. It’s the truth. If you don’t like that and it offends you then I’m afraid you’re going to have to learn to live with being offended. That’s just life and I’m not backing down and being an apologist for what I believe in.

but hang on brent...weve needed better than jules for a few years & wayne has been 1st choice for almost 18 months, weve stayed up and on the whole des done well for a GK that cost us £1.5m 3 years ago.

you just need to accept reality that hes better than jules.

Yeah he played well. Doesn’t mean that I have to eat humble pie and that I’m wrong in saying that we need better.

That's fair of you. Strangely I agree with you. Ideally I'd like us to get 3 new keepers but that's a bit unrealistic. Perhaps one until the end of the season as a first choice and then bring in another in the Summer?

It’s not strange or a phenomenon of any kind. It’s merely

Well according to our interlocutor keeping the first clean sheet anyone's kept against Citeh this season is evidence of nothing so presumably the same rules apply to everyone else.

Anyway I'm talking about McCarthy when he played for us, not McCarthy today. And that isn't the point, really.

I thought it was in the site rules that you don't come in here and slag off people who've turned out for Palace week in week out, kept their place in the side and gone through spells of poor form and come out the other side fighting.

McCarthty should have been given more of a chance to prove himself at Palace when you look at the time afforded to others. Was treated very unfairly and it will come back to bite us on the arse. And we’ll deserve it.
You could see that he had the required quality to make it at the top with us.

Actually two good games in a row as his last game was at the Amex, also a clean sheet!

Let's not forget his superb, brilliant if not phenomenal display against Chelski last season. That's another feather in his cap.

The grilling he gets off a certain poster is an obsessive disgrace. Such passionate bile should be met with either a yellow card or intense counselling.

No, you have never deviated from your personal subjective view.

Ps having seen Wayne at Ashton Gate I don't necessarily disagree with you,although for what we paid he has been good value for the money. Now time to splash for top half quality.

I’m no WH fan but what I saw yesterday was a marked improvement in his positional play - I can’t think of a single situation where he wasn’t exactly where he needed to be & that made what he did look comfortable. What was really noticeable at free kicks was the fact that he’s stopped taking a step sideways as the taker runs up leaving a corner exposed. Looked like he’d have handled anything that got over/round the wall.

In the warm up he was practicing those long kicks into the channels that were so effective in the game itself.

Maybe, just maybe Roy & his coaches have found a way to get the best out of him.

I appreciate that I am in a minority (perhaps of one!) - I am actually happy with our keepers. I think the rotation of Speroni and Hennessey has improved both of them - and I like Henry as our back-up.

I am not convinced that a new keeper (that we could attract) in January would result in any benefit. In recent games both keepers have performed well - in conjunction with improved defensive structure. I think there is a risk that bringing in a new keeper would unsettle the team..

I don’t agree. Bringing in a new keeper who commands his box and is a real presence can bring much needed confidence to the defence. I thought Wayne played well. His distribution was excellent yesterday too.

I'm very slowly coming around to this point of view, whilst I still think we need a new keeper both the lads have been doing far far better since Roy has been rotating them. If money's tight at the moment then concentrate on getting the best striker we possibly can. If we can score more the occasional ballsups by Wayne and Jules can be mitigated.

Anyway WH had an excellent game and wouldn't surprise me if he's back in for a bit and it's deserved, until his next f*** up and now that both keepers know this is how it works hopefully their games will keep improving. And hopefully too by the end of Jan Benteke will be in the same situation.
