I think some fans, (who know nothing about goalkeeping btw), just listen to pundits on TV (who are paid to talk nonsense) a little too much, and go along with what they say.
Don’t think I’ve ever heard a pundit talk about Allsop, not that I watch them much and I doubt many give views on the goalkeeping situation down the City. I’m just not comfortable with him, his ‘strength’ I imagine is perceived to be his ‘sweeper keeper’ way of playing. This very nearly went tits up against Reading in the last home game when he just about got away with a bit of ball juggling in his six yard box. I’m just not very confident of his ability to read the situation when the opposition are in possession around the edge of the box.
