Our midfield were all ahead of play and because he's kicked it like a clown they're 10 yards back. Morrison and Peltier could've done better but it all led from that. Hardly picking out an isolated mistake when it's a mistake that's led to the only goal of the game.
I was up at Preston and his kicking was atrocious there as well, led to a goal. Along with getting beat on his side for the first goal.
He's bang average. We win games despite him, not because of him.
So he's had 1 bad game out of 13 (Preston) and you write him off, even though in the other 12 he has been excellent and we are second in the table with the lowest amount of goals conceded. In the rest of the Birmingham game he made three or four excellent saves and the reason we lost was because our defence and midfield didnt turn up and we didn't create any chances. On your basis, the rest of the squad must all be 'bang average' as well because every one of them has had more than one 'off day' and given the ball away on many occasions in each match. The evidence would however indicate otherwise - look at the table and statistics.
One?
Preston - Dreadful
Bham - His mistake led to the only goal of the game
QPR home - cost us a goal
So only costing us the one goal every four games
I read a few weeks ago we've conceded the least amount of shots out of any club in the championship. I think he's well protected by our defence. He's fine - especially on a free - but will cost us a fair few goals throughout the course of the season.
It wasn't a very good pass back to him from Bamba who was dreadful in the Bham game. It was cleared out wide towards Peltier which he was instructed to do. Peltier got caught flat footed and Morrison should have done better. Very hard to criticise Etheridge for that.
Yes he was dreadful at Preston but I believe he deserves our support as he's better more often than not
