Inexperienced or not he was utter awful and i can't think of a worst debut? He's been on the bench in last 3 championship games and he's 23, no excuses get rid

Totally agree. His first job was to pick the ball out of the net rather than making a save - or so I thought ! - did he pick up the ball of out of the net more times than making a challenging save the whole match? Not sure when we or why we signed him, but its all crying out for a decent GK coach at the club who can also help to identify decent new talent. Absolutely disgraceful state of affairs.

What I don't really understand is that Hudson came back from his loan at Bury, in which he played a couple of games, but didn't play today. Hudson would 100% have been fresher and sharper than Crowe, as he has at least played a game of professional football... all in all, a baffling decision from Neil all round.

He signed a 2 year contract at the start of the season, he must be on at least £1,000 a week.
What annoys me is i love the fa cup, I'd sooner win the fa cup once in my lifetime than ever go in the premier league
I can see Doncaster getting a good away day now!

Ipswich released him for a reason. I think we all know what that reason was, unfortunately.

They'll be wanting to send Hudson back out on loan, and that's not an option if he played for us today.
I doubt he's on that much- he's supposedly only here as emergency backup. It is odd that he played, however- wouldn't shock me if it was to prove a point to Trev about how we definitely do need a keeper...

Ipswich are an utterly woeful outfit who decided that Crowle was so poor they weren't willing to offer him a new contract. Crowe's debut yesterday was nearly as bad as the worst from a PNE goalkeeper that I've ever seen, which was Barry Siddall against Port Vale.
At least Siddall has a range of valid excuses.
Who on earth sanctioned this abhorrent signing?

Exactly. I know it took a while for him to get fit but Neil will have seen him every day in training for several months and surely wouldn't have picked him if he hadn't felt he could do a job. As I've said elsewhere, someone of the calibre of Gordon Banks would have got the jitters behind that defence.
It's his first game at this level. People need to cut him some slack and not make judgements based on his debut game.

What an encouraging post. I seem to recall Ben Davies hardly covered himself in glory on his debut and after a few more shaky performances it took a loan move help him regain confidence and get his career back on track. Maybe this is what Crowe needs.
Does anybody know who was used to scout out the likes of Johnston and Pickford, As they proved themselves with us, We have suffered since they went, Was it possibly Alan Kelly Jnr he obviously was well respected by them as he followed Pickford to Everton after his fall out with AN

The guy is 23, had a few clubs and on his debut goes to pieces, does not bode well for any player, with a goalkeeper it's even worse. Also absolutely NO comparison with Ben Davies. Lastly you could put Warwick Davis between the sticks and give him as much encouragement as you like, it would not make him a good keeper !!!
