What the f**k?!

Tommy looked very poor today, to be honest. He hasn't really been that Mr Dependable type of guy this season like he always been.
You can see that he's trying to command his box more but his decision making has been questionable all too many times this season. Maybe it's just somekind of transitional period that he's going through (from One coach to another) but whatever it is he needs to get a grip quickly cos he's cost us a goal today and nearly cost us a third one when he dropped it.
It was a great match saving save though in injury time.

The one he dropped was nowhere near their man. Greasy ball on a wet pitch. Few important claims from crosses. Massive save at the end.

Cannot for the life of me see how Tommy can come under any criticism today.

Must have been watching a different game to me.

Tommy is earns us way more points than he loses us

[Blue Rodney Fern]

I agree first unstoppable shot with no cover in front of him from a dodgy free kick against bock and the second a clear deflection which looped past him and even the great Gordon bvanks would also have struggled their

[Spireite82]

I thought he had a decent game. He did start the season a boy slow but IMO has played well since November. Great save near the end (as important as goal).

Most of his time with CFC has been in the basement. You have to consider the step between the divisions, that opponents are not the likes of Accrington etc.




A great L2 keeper might just be a good L1 keeper.

I agree what the hell was he doing for the second goal. I have always thought he is overrated and he is Bunkum on crosses. Needs to get a grip and raise his game.

Agreed. My only criticism was I had to look at the reaction of the Posh fans to see he'd made that save. I thought he was staying down on the floor dejected.

Surprised you were there at all given the low temperatures. However to be honest what sane person would take anything you say seriously? The answer of course is none would. Only people with an IQ the level of that of a snail along with madmen and stags fans take you seriously.

Yes Toomy has been a bit iffy this season, but apart from Caroll I can't name a better stopper in this league.

[martatcross]

I think Tommy needs some competition for his place

[marlons curtains]

I'm not sure what Tommy can be criticized for today... I saw the second goal as the defenders fault.. Raglan I think..and for the second week running saved us at the death.

Spot on......I have to admit I had my head in my hands when he went through one on one with Tommy....credit to raglan though, he did enough to not let him get a full shot away

One dropped bo/\ock doesn't make him a liability.

One good save at the end doesn't make him world class.

One mistake left them closer to one point gained. One save at the end kept all three points for us.

Sorry Walton, but you'll have to wait to use your new ducking stool for the first time...

Totally agree. Let's also not forget that Caroll has played at the highest level and also had a belter of a game against us. As I've said already, after a shaky start I think Tommy is back playing well.

[Rodney's Moustache]

Standards looked to have dropped this season but he has been outstanding previously culminating in him regularly receiving player of season accolades.Maybe lack of competition seems to have affected his focus somewhat this year.

What the **** do you want an android goalie, he makes errors but by good he's saved us points galore time after time. Slow day at home eh.............

It will be May before it's warm enough for him to use that....

There's no need for that.
The post was wrote out straight after coming out of the match. You wanna throw insults around to make yourself feel good then you need to grow up!!!
There's been a good number of replies on this thread and not one of them felt the need to throw anykind of insult out. Maybe you need to stop taking criticism of OUR players so much to heart!

Maybe you should give yourself time to calm down then before posting and be a little more measured then - surprised you classed my comment as an insult but I see it certainly struck a chord. I permanently feel good about life at my age by the way young un.
