Dillon Phillips

[mrbluejay]

Really not sure what he was trying to do for the winning goal today, having watched it a few times now is he trying to make a save for the cameras?

Either way, whilst he has been quite good, Smithies saves that and should be back in.

Re: Dillon Phillips

the ball did move a little, but it looked easier to save it

the lad made a mistake, thats it, all keepers do

had a great season, we shouldnt let the mistake spoil that

Everyone makes mistakes, he's been great since coming into the side

Re: Dillon Phillips

Ooooh Smithies saves that. Wind your ****ing neck in you miserable mike hunt. Yes, it was a mistake, probably the first he’s made since he got in the team. He’s saved us more than the point that we lost today regardless of how Smithies would have done. Get a ****ing grip.

Re: Dillon Phillips

It was a strange one. seemed like he got his feet all wrong, he was almost rooted and couldn't adjust, like trying to catch a ball in quick sand. I don't think that he was expecting the ball to go in that particular area and was maybe anticipating the ball going to the far post. To be fair to him, he's been brilliant, almost faultless up to now. He more than deserves his chance to make good that mistake. What kind of message would MM send out to players if he dropped one of our best performers over the last ten games if he dropped Phillips for one mistake? He'd lose a bit of respect from me, although i don't think MM will drop Phillips. NG was culpable by getting done and giving away the foul, and he had a poor game today, yet nobody is criticising him or calling for him to be dropped, and rightly so, because like Phillips, NG has also been one of our best performers.

Exactly. God I hate our fan base on times.

For me, Smithies had his worst spell as a City player either side of Christmas (in particular, Brentford). He wasn’t dropped then and it would really be harsh to omit Phillips after one cock up, albeit a major one.

just one of those things mate

When keepers make mistakes it's always blinding

They all do it from time to time

He should certainly keep the Jersey in my opinion

End of thread.

Or is it?
He made a howler it happens.
He's saved enough times in the past.
When you are a keeper mistakes normally end in conceding goals.
He should not be dropped.

It should have been, but you’ve now prolonged the thread without putting any more meat on the bones 😂

Re: Dillon Phillips

Bloody hell, if we dropped a keeper every time they made one mistake we would have a load of keepers whose confidence is all shot to sh1t

Re: Dillon Phillips

It was really poor keeping but it happens, and unfortunately when a keeper makes a mistake it results in a goal.

MM seems to have given him his backing so if expect him to keep his place. No doubt smithies will be on standby should be make another mistake in the next few games.

Re: Dillon Phillips

Not calling for him to be dropped but he made a really unconvincing save in the first half too. He'll be looking at more than one moment in that game and thinking about how he can improve, as will almost the whole side and management staff.
