He was OK today before the sending off which was stupid, the two saves were standard first-division keeper-type saves, the first one just run out the second looked better but why did he leave a gap in the wall?
He did a job and will be gone by next season, Sabri doesn't want him, I'm not sure how good Alnwick is but we'll soon find out, he won't have to be that good to retain the shirt.
How do you explain the manager picking Alsop every week and leaving Alnwick on the bench then ?Quote:

I'd say he should have done better with:
* Away v Middlesboro's first goal up there, beaten on his near post, fortunately if didn't cost us the win.
* Home V Hull, their second goal, daisy cutter from distance, arguably cost us the match
* Home v Sheffield United, beaten on his near post, cost us a point
* Home v Millwall, tame shot through his legs, Kipre equally culpable.
* Away V Norwich, their first goal, daisy cutter from distance went under his arm.
I defended him after the Norwich game, but Lord knows what he was doing today.

I don't rate Allsop and haven't really seen much of Alnwick, but my final comment was he won't have to be amazing to turn out better than Allsop and keep the shirt, not saying he definitely will keep it because he is currently Sabri's number two, but that could just be that he doesn't like to change a keeper and unsettle a defence keeper partnership?
Allsop made a bad mistake the other week with an air shot, and let in a few week shots and today getting sent off, I think Sabri will be having some doubts, we will soon see at Preston if Alwnwick can take his chance and become Sabris number one.
Rushed out unnecessarily for the sending off. Recall he was a bit headstrong earlier in game. Made couple of good saves. Like the guy. Good presence at the back normally. Even if suspect at shots from outside box.
We'll soon see if this Alnwick guy is any good.
If Lamouchi stays I’m almost certain he will bring in a new keeper, Allsop just doesn’t save enough. However I don’t think he’s as bad as people make out either.Quote:

I agree, he isn’t the issue on why we have struggled.Quote:

I don’t think he’s that bad, I think we could get better.
Obviously it's not ideal to have your first choice keeper missing at this stage of the season but I am happy Alnwick will get a chance. Allsop hasn't really done anything that bad that warrants him being dropped but I can't help feeling some of the goals we've conceded he might have better on. Every cloud.
He's been due a clanger, so if he's got his out of the way in injury time at 2-0 up, I'll take it :hehe:
Would you drop a defender for giving up easy chances when it happens numerous times? A lot of people call for defenders to get dropped. Why can't people want the same for a keeper letting in shots he should save? Or not commanding his area? People would be fuming if crosses came in a mad a defender didn't deal with it convincingly,same should go for the keeper.Quote:

That's a good point, our defence is very good, imagine if they had a decent keeper behind we'd probably have the least goals conceded in the league.Quote:

A new keeper wouldn’t be my priority in the next transfer window (if we’re even allowed to make any transfers).

Includes a tweet from James Wood (stand-in goalkeeping coach) with a clip showing keepers blocking shots on the training ground, followed by footage of Allsop doing exactly the same in blocking the Bristol City point blank follow up shot on Saturday: 'Gks prep to match day execution'

You can see why, cost us points again today, could have done better with all three maybe should have stopped the first or second, although the defence had the worst game in ages today too!Quote:

I agree hee's a weak link, Swansea's keeper was rubbish too, we should have capitalised and put him under pressure.Quote:

Certainly now a howler. I’d be looking at the defenders tbh. It’s his near post tho.Quote:

He should have saved all three of them? You are joking I take it - how was he to blame for the winner or the first one? The second one was typical Allsop, it was an easier chance than the first goal, but Allsop kept it out and yet it all looked awkward and you were left asking could he have done better? There’s lots of goals he’s let in I ask that question about, but the lack of absolute howlers from him makes me err on the side of generosity with him.Quote:

Allsop had no chance, the defensive lapses that lead to the goals are unforgivable.
He is not a good keeper but he’s hardly helped by the ineptitude in front of him.
As for Swansea’s keeper, Jesus Christ :hehe:
I’d get Neil Etheridge back, he’s better than anything we’ve got.
