Thrilled with the win today but we shouldn’t let that mask the fact that we need a solid reliable keeper! I would be the first to admit that his distribution can be very good but his mistakes will cost us valuable points this season.
For me his flapping at a cross during the Villa game sums him up. He has no presence in the box and he isn’t even a great stopper. First position to fill for me in January.
Costly unless!

Goal was a shocker.
Who is our goalkeeping coach at present?

Harj the argument is a poor one, you cannot make amends for poor judgement as a keeper unless it's a once in a blue moon occurrence.
Even then.
Gary Sprake remembered for the howlers and his alleged lack of allegiance not his abilities as a keeper.
In the case of the save he made following his mistake, it was bread and butter and besides QPR would probably not have got a sniff if it hadn't been for the original mistake.
Problem with goalkeeping errors is they can lead to confidence issues both in relation to the keeper (Babushka wasn't a bad keeper before that night) and the defence.
If the mistake doesn't happen we win 2 nil maybe 3 nil. Comfortable. Mistake happens and we all start to panic.
As Andy Couzens said prior to the match it was a mistake to let Green go. Our number one.

Never sign a new first choice keeper in January. Bad decision.

We will not be promoted this season with either of these clowns in goal.
Absolutely must sign a keeper in January. There will be plenty of loan options available.

Don't be too ard on im he was only trying to make a game of it. We were never going to score by ourselves.

The club as a whole feels like it’s poles apart from where it was this time last year, however it shouldn’t be overlooked that replacing rob green who we let go on a free (and I don’t fault green at all for leaving as he is now being paid more to do less) with Felix is all in all a bad decision that could cost us promotion.
I think I’m jamuary a keeper and a left back are a must cause at the moment it feels like we don’t have either

Not been a first team keeper for at least three years and signed for Southampton knowing full well he was going there as a second choice despite only been 27 at the time.
The guy is the new Richard Wright, awesome me early on in his career but unable or unwilling to be a first team regular.

If we were to sign a new goalkeeper next summer I'd want us to go for Daniel Bentley from Brentford
