He's a keeper. His job is to keep out the shots the defence can't prevent. The commentator keeps describing it as a 'Lonergan assist' and 'One he should have been more than capable of dealing with'.

He gets blame for every goal we concede, if he kept out every shot he would be in the prem and playing for England the fact is he is a good championship keeper. With our defence and to a certain extent the midfield he has to deal with more than most CCC keepers.
 
Seems like the same old story! Just hope we can turn it round in the second half.
 
Formation is killing us, 3-4-3 does not work. Get Morgan off, Treacy on and go 4-4-2

Spot on but some people never let the facts get in the way of their agendas. It has been reported virtually everywhere that Cort tried to block, it looped up off him and over Lonergan. Can anyone name any keeper who positions himself just in case the ball deflects off a defender??
 
Seems to have been a fairly even game with them getting the benefit of a big deflection and us not getting the best of a penalty call. I would still have preferred that we had kept one of our big strikers back for a late
appearance, but as it is all our strikers are already on the pitch. Treacy could, of course, give us some width if we want at some point. But there is still all to play for.
 
If we are to play 3 at the back we need another centre half. Morgan nearly gave away a pen.
 
Morgan has struggled at this level in every game that he has played - we will always be shaky at the back unless he shows marked improvement
