Had no confidence in him on Friday, spiled a few shots that he shouldn't have, thankfully none of them were pounced on by Notts, would now be a good chance to give Turner an extended run in the team?
 



What with the back 4 being less of a problem what possible benefit would you see in dropping our keeper who has from what I understand made one mistake of consequence all season and has only 2 weeks or so ago made a blinding penalty save that won us the game?

Fuck me, there's fickle and then there is this.
 
Spilled a few ? May have been at fault with the goal, saved another bounced off him and he very quickly recovered. Can't remember any others. A few ?

absolutely not every keeper has a bad run of form but he is the best pair of hands we have in the team
 
I seem to remember George Long being dropped for sweet fuck all.. how can anyone say hes the best keeper we have at the club, Turner has played one game this season, hardly anything to compare him as being worse than Howard.

The defence isn't all that either, a chance to refresh it.

Do you believe a word of this post? Really?
 
You're all laughing now, but wait until he tells you he's just seen Petr Cech with a Roast Pork special on French Bread with extra stuffing at Munchies....

Was it dipped?
 
I would like to know why we don't put a player on the back post for corners, especially now we are really weak at defending set pieces, other teams now know this

He's played two, one of which, he got man of the match.

But in answer to your original question, no, it's not time to drop Howard.

Bladesway is again spot on.

Howard has been consistent and kept us in games . He has done more for our back 4 , than they have done for themselves . Mr Clough is lucky to have Howard in good form this season. Gordon Banks or Lev Yeshin would struggle with some of the back four performances this season.

UTB
 
I'm confused who for. On form, we don;t have a better keeper

I used to get a sweat on when the announcer read George Long's name out from the team sheet before kick off!!
Howard is the better goalkeeper by a country mile and doesn't deserve to be benched because of one mistake which cost us a goal.
Maybe if he's been doing that regularly or if there was a credible alternative keeper, then you may have a point. Without either of these, you don't.

Look at me look at me ,I need some attention :(
You didn't go to Bradford or Doncaster or 15 other matches did you.
 
I wasn't sure about him at first but he's really improved and is as good as any keeper in the division.
The opening post has got to be a wind up.
 
So many you could have mentioned that could be dropped.....not thought about it?

Oh well.

Wednesday fans. I think it's fair to say you were massacred.
