He was superb today up until the last minute. Terrible mistake but it happens. He knew it and was apologising himself at the end but he's been a massive asset to us and the way he plays sometimes you'll just have to accept mistakes like that. However really good performance by the team today and should have been 3 or 4 up but we looked totally fucked the last 10 -15 minutes given the work we had put in up to that point. We just need a bit of luck to see it out. Disappointed but that should be seen as a good thing. We're in a good place at the moment.

The lad was immense all afternoon until that one moment. He pulled off two great saves and was killing crosses all the time.

I'll forgive him the two points today no problem.

And he had the balls to come over to us and apologise in person. Cracking lad. We go again.
 
It was a mistake, but also very unlucky in that it dropped straight to the scorer. If he'd needed to take a touch before shooting there were enough defenders there to have blocked it.
 
He'll always make mistakes... we all do. And good goalkeepers tend to make fewer and fewer mistakes as they go through their twenties.

In that circumstance, the chances of them scoring was low. There really was little to gain and a whole lot to lose by him coming out for it - so that was the mistake.

I'm sure he'll continue to improve. He should stay confident and stay positive.

Is rapidly heading towards Jordan Pickford territory. An excellent first half performance which is a very big part of a first class by performance by PNE

alex Neil seems to be moving this group of players into another dimension. To say Im impressed is a massive understatement.

What kind of moron posts a thread about the goalkeeper at halftime, and tempts fate, what an absolute berk.

Not long back from Fulham, and Maxwell was great again today apart from the obvious, but what an idiotic thread topic part way through a match.

Talk about tempting fate.
 
Still feel this thread is entirely justified.

Yes, his form dipped towards the end of last season but under Alex Neil he's been absolutely superb. Big mistake to come out for the ball today but which goalkeeper hasn't made the odd mistake? I've seen far worse from others!

I think he'll learn from it but being honest, if it wasn't for him, we'd have conceded earlier.
 
Just got in. Maxwell knew he had dropped a bollock and held his hands up to the fans at the end. He didn't need to do that so it just shows what this group of players is all about. Also, fans were great today. We were hanging on in those last 15 / 20 minutes but we did everything we could to keep the lads going and we very nearly pulled off what would have been a great win. Still a draw at Fulham isn't a bad result.

Shit like this happens. Everyone makes mistakes, he’s that type of goalkeeeper. On occasions like that he’ll win us points and like yesterday we’ll lose some. I like Maxwell and he’ll learn from it. We move on to a tough game next week at Wolves. UTW 🙂

Your post is the only example of idiocy. There is absolutely no connection between this thread and Maxwell's mistake.

Poor decision making all round by him, sadly. A) shouldnt have come for it and B) having come should have punched it upfield.

sigh, Im sure he`ll feel awful about it, learn and move on. the life of a keeper eh? You dont get away with mistakes in that position.

A is wrong. He did the right thing going for it and having got there should have done better. You can't have a keeper coming for some and not others, as all that does is breeds uncertainty into the defenders in front of him.

I know it's subjective - and you make a logical point that you want certainty in the back five... but there's a line to be drawn about the keeper coming out.

Six-yard box... obviously yes.
18yd line... obviously no.

That ball was just a bit too far out and I am quite sure that the defenders would have been expecting to deal with that ball themselves.

The ball was so far from his goal and his starting position was a long way from where the ball was dropping, so he had to almost sprint to get there (i.e. never really in control of the situation)... there were plenty of defenders around and the threat on our goal was low.

It would be interesting to know what Maxwell really said in the bar afterwards... but I'd bet any money that he thinks he should not have come for that ball.

It’s good that he wants to collect crosses, but I totally disagree that he has to try to collect every ball.

The defenders had dealt with long balls easily all game. The cross was over 12 yards out. It was the 96th minute. He didn’t need to come for it.

It happens and we move on, but as I said I disagree with the notion that a keeper has to come for either all crosses or none at all.
 
Maxie will have gone through this seven hundred times in his head last night and will go through it again with Kiely this morning. Once a keeper makes his mind up to come for any ball then he ought to never change his mind. Ever. A huge learning experience and he'll come out the other side so much better.

Spot on!!
You can be sure Maxwell will have been giving himself a good bollocking afterwards.
Thing is with the chances we had, Browne & Harrop in particular it shouldn't have mattered.
 
Maxwell will be gutted................... He's an integral part of why we are doing so well..Criticism of the odd balls up is out of order.
