Whitey Grandad

Schwarzer in goal would have been better still.

He would have got it, it was nowhere near going in and Schmeichel got back to the line before the ball went over the bar.

I agree but there's not a lot that can be done about it now, we just have to work with what we've got. The club gambled and lost. If it's just last Saturday then it's not the end of the world but a longer injury and things could get very sticky.

Not at all, rather a lot of little bad choices on and off the pitch. 2-0 is always a dangerous lead and whoever gets the next goal is going to have the momentum with them. It was disappointing but in the end I was glad not to lose, which was sad.

After last Saturday his confidence must have taken a big dent and I can't see that coming back for a long while.

My feeling about Forster, and that's all that it is, is that going on other players who have had similar injuries we should not expect him to be back and fully match-fit in less than a 12 to 18 months. He was injured last March so that would make his return close to the end of the season by my reckoning. The club would have the full details on his injury but these things are prone to setbacks.

Yup, absolutely. He deserves a big bollocking for that, and also for the ridiculous back-pass when he tried to set up their centre-forward.

Not really sarcasm but I suspect that his 'performance' was a lot worse than the management might have expected. I agree, he was awful and when I saw that he was playing I was prepared for a couple of goals to go in down by his feet but not that he couldn't or wouldn't catch a ball that came within a few feet of him nor that he wouldn't be able to kick it beyond the halfway line. If he has been playing like that in training then putting him in the team was a disgrace. He was never the greatest of goalkeepers but last Saturday he looked as if he hadn't even touched a ball for a couple of years and had been brought in that morning from sitting in his back garden. I'm sure he wasn't this bad the last time that he played for us. When was that, by the way? I have enough faith in Ron to be confident that he will address this situation as soon as it is practicable.

I rather suspect that Kelvin's woeful performance came as a bit of a surprise to everybody.

Why wait?

Way offside as it first hit the post and what happened just after is not relevant. Manéwas very self-indulgent

This one's too obvious: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2001/09/11/eurosport_com_scores_headline_profanity/ And quite a few here if you're feeling a bit bored: http://www.midfielddynamo.com/players/players_bestnames.htm I do like naughty-naughty I must say.

Part of me never wants to hear a Yoshida song again, especially if he is asked to play full back.

There are other candidates. I nominate Forbes Ernest Phillipson-Masters

And let's not forget his two goals against Arsenal in the Last Game At The Dell which set up Matt's winner.

He was not the reason we lost the lead, but there were lots of little things wrong yesterday, and some not so little, and taken together they were enough to throw it away.

Seven of

If we are going to play him at full back then he needs to be drilled and practised in the role. The full back should pivot his position based on the centre halves and if the ball is on the other side of the pitch he should be just ahead of them and if the ball is his side then a few yards behind them. It was the same in the Man Utd game, he was dawdling around ball-watching and playing everybody onside. A specialist full back would position himself instinctively.

Everybody groaned, including the players.

Good point, but maybe footballers are too inflexible to realise that he was there and adapt to the situation.

Different level.

A goalkeeper's work goes beyond keeping the ball out of the net. Right from the kickoff yesterday he was flapping and dithering at everything that came his way and the defence were in complete confusion over it. Poor Virgil spent the whole game waiting for Kelvin to come and claim the ball and then kicking it away in panic at the last moment. His kicks never even reached the halfway line and always seemed to find a Leicester player. He may still have a role to play at the club but it certainly isn't between the posts. It would be a sad end to his playing career but you're only as good as your last game. Please, please, let that be his.

I think you're right about the 'open goal', it was a fair way out, but I thought he could have tried lifting it over Scmichael. I was more annoyed by his ridiculous attempt to score from 50 yards when he was behind their defence and a lot faster.

That seemed to be the case. We just weren't getting to the ball quickly enough and kept giving away silly fouls.
