[Blue Baggie]

I honestly think he needs taking out of the firing line because at the moment he certainly isn’t consistent, he doesn’t command his box and doesn’t move off his line for crosses, in simple terms he’s not good enough. As mentioned earlier in the thread when he came out and caught the ball against Blackburn there were ironic cheers from a huge number of the fans.

That tells you all you need to know. Give him a rest and let him get his confidence back in training and get him working on the basics again because so far I for one haven’t seen this ‘brilliant keeper’ the Vile fans were going on about.

He cost us huge last season and he’s making basic errors this despite his penalty save. Give Bond or El Habsi a crack at it, after all that’s why they’re here.

The issue in dropping Sam would be, he is a proud guy. He cares !!  Drop him and I think his confidence would go into free fall.
We would be better selling him IMO - I can't see him being dropped and come back better.
I don't see as Bond is any better then Sam and El Habsi is just a back up and if he came in it would be a temp. measure.
I would stick with Sam, if he drops a couple of clangers and then pulls of a world class save that's evens IMO.
Foster did it for years and nobody called for him to be dropped.
As long as he is picked we should give him 100% support.
