Maxwell
We havea "real goddun" between the sticks mate. No keeper can save everything, the defence didn't do enough yesterday. Take a look at the leeds highlights from earlier in the season. Chris single-handedly kept us in that game.

Beg to differ. I think if we'd had their goalkeeper and them ours we'd have won yesterday.

Randolph is an International goalkeeper with plenty of Premiership experience and he made a couple of cracking saves... don't think he would have done any better on any other than maybe the 3rd goal.

I think if Barks' header had gone in instead of hitting the crossbar we would have gone on to win (BTW their goalie was well beaten in that move and it was not him who prevented a goal).

Hasn't he the 3rd most clean sheets in the division? Yet we've now got threads about replacing him and not also about not playing our best performing CB against a league 2 striker because he might not be strong enough. Oh and replace the same CB with someone who wasn't strong enough to stop Ayala twice yesterday....
I fully expect Rudd to end up as our number 1 eventually and Maxwell is far from perfect, but before yesterday we had conceded 0, 0, 1, 0, 1, 0, 1, 1, 0 working back towards the Bolton game. Not sure we'd have done better than that having Ederson in the goals.

That's the point, don't think chris would have made his stops, the game would have been over by half time. I'm a glass half full guy, just think we could do better and have recently. Maxwell not in the same league as Pickford and Johnstone.

Lets get rid of Hugill. He isn't as good as Tom Finney.
I despair at times.

Nowt wrong with DJ, but like maxwell there's better. You sort of made my point thank you.

For me, Maxwell is pretty standard for the division, there are some better keepers than him in this division, and plenty worse. But we've finally got someone in permanently after several seasons of loaning keepers from all over the place. He also has the more than capable Rudd pushing him for the jersey now. We are Ok in that department and better off than most, so I don't know what all the fuss is about. We have a solid defence at the moment and changing keeper could throw a spanner in the works.

Now Im knocking on a bit but seeing this thread by you, Pete, actually stirred the old grey matter a bit. Kind of got the memory banks ticking over a little. Then it all came flooding back about the expert that you are in goalkeeping.
Remember this little gem?

Now, fair enough, that was back in 2009 but it does show you have a track record of getting things slightly wrong when it comes to the guys between the Pipes 😉

He's had a pretty good career at some big clubs and still is actually so I don't know what your point is. I think he justifies my judjment on the goalkeeper position.

In fairness I think shaky, on the same thread, answered better than I can for this one.

You my lad are an idiot, all the premiership scouts have their eyes on the best up and coming players. They are well aware of Lonergan, and not one top club has shown any solid interest.
That's because they know what they are looking at and hero worship doesn't come into it.

We have one of the best defences in the championship & that includes maxwell.
We could improve on every player in our defence but would it let any less goals in ?
What was Huntington Clarke & Davis doing to stop them headers. I think they should take most of the blame for yesterday's collapse.

And before the present chap Manchester United made great choices in the goalkeeping department not. Maybe they should have took Lonners, he couldn't have done any worse. But thank you for making my point, appreciated.

Let's not get our 'knickers in a twist 'on this one. I think maxwells ok but I've got to say that a few on the Kelly where I sit including my lad think he's Rubbish. Just watching Randolph yesterday reminded me of Burnley a couple of years back when Pickford won us the game and showed what a difference a real goodun makes.

And Maxwell has won us points as well. Was it the Sheff United game when he made that great save low down late on? We've conceded the same this season as Boro have (dunno is Randolph has played in them all) but scored 5 less so perhaps the issue is elsewhere?
I also think it's unfair to compare any keeper we have or will have to Pickford. We should just be thankful that we played a part of Pickford's development.
Saying all that I do expect Rudd to eventually be number 1.
Oh and people who sit around me thought that Beckford was rubbish (league 1 days).
