I dont give a stuff that Jack Cudworth a decent local lad but were doing this on the cheap.

Stop Fcuking about and get decent full time goalkeeper coach in as a matter of urgency. A decent keeper coach knows exactly how to organise the WHOLE defensive side of the game. Right now its totally fallen apart.

We cannot carry on like this. Whilst i dont blame Maxwell for any of the goals today he looked totally subdued from his normal type of game which is very much the sweeper keeper. Rudd has been exactly the same, rooted to their lines.

Neither of them were like this and both were decent keepers so what has happened?

Herman went exactly the same way..... tits up....To be perfectly honest, I wouldn't bring coaches in. i'd get rid of them.
 
What is the current arrangement compared to when we had Alan Kelly, etc?

I just assumed we had a new full-time GK coach, that Jack lad you mentioned. Is this not the case?
 
Was gutted when Kelly left. Believe the reason he wasn’t “hands on” enough for AN. With all due respect to Cudworth, you can’t buy Kelly’s experience. Maybe he cant get involved physically compared to Cudworth, but I bet Kelly overseeing, planning and organising the goalkeepers and defence, (working with and developing a “Cudworth”) would bring certainty and a consistency that we sorely lack at the moment.
 
Since the departure of the last coach it's no coincidence the goals have been conceded at an alarming rate.
 
I think it's a bit harsh to blame the goalkeeping coach for the whole defence being poor and making individual and often unforced errors that in general, they were not making last season. What exactly are Thompson, McAvoy and Neil doing to organise the defence in training sessions? They are the senior coaches, surely they must take ultimate responsibility?

Our last experienced GK coach, Dean Kiely, left in January and during his tenure the defence conceded 24 goals in 19 league games. After Cudworth took over, 20 goals were conceded in 20 games to the end of the season. So Cudworth's coaching didn't seem to be a problem last season, why blame him now?
 
But Maxwell starting means clean sheets and confidence in our defenders apparently!?

It's time to realise that no matter which of our keepers starts, we've serious problems elsewhere.
 
Totally agree that an expierenced coach is required irrespective of out form/position.

Anyone who was at the game yesterday would tell you that we had three at the back and a deep line sitting behind the ball. United were allowed freedom and time to put best quality crosses repeatedly into the box. They played easily through midfield no matter how deep or pressing they were. They passed around the back line at will.

This was a game dominated by the formation and direction given by AN.
 
If you were at the game you will have seen a shouting match between Robinson and Maxwell in the first half. Robinson took a dislike at being picked up for laziness in defensive duties.

Seems there are some bad habits to break. I strongly suspect Robinson will have been told where to put his "fuck off" response at half time by Maxwell.

Having just watched the highlights I agree. We just seen incapable of defending with any sort of structure, discipline or aggression.

He'd been working with AK for a long time, was passed over for the job when we got Keily in, but when that went tits up, he applied again and got it.

The lad obviously has his attributes, even if he was never a successful pro. Think he gets called out unduly on here just because he's not a 'name'
 
What a load of utter fucking shite. Organise the whole defensive side of the team? What are you going on about? That’s not his job to do that you melon.

Cudworth was keeper coach last season and everyone was happy, now because of some basic errors by the keepers it’s his fault? Laughable. Our defence is the issue, any keeper would be conceding this many goals with the amount of chances are inept defence allow them.

Pete Williams wasn't a name but was probably the best keeper coach we have had in the last 20+ years, he set the defensive positions for corners and free kicks and also assisted in the defensive structure when we didn't have the ball.
It's no coincidence that we are shipping goals when Neil buggers about with defensive selections and formations assisted by a lad who he probably doesn't listen to re advice.
