i get the impression that Steele is Grayson's man and Ruiter was as a result of club scouting and Bain.

Grayson has 500,000 reasons to pick Steele over Ruiter unfortunately.
 
Here is a question.

When have we had a worse pair of keepers?

Over the years, if nothing else we have always had good keepers.

These 2 are hopeless.

f***ing season Perez was in goal, when he flapped at the Wembley goal. How many times did he do that man? Can't even remember who was number two, but they must have been shit because Perez was absolutely gash.
 
You cant build a team from the back with the two goalkeepers we have got it isnt a surprise we havent kept a clean sheet yet.

Simon Grayson has defended his struggling goalkeepers after more criticism of summer signing Jason Steele. Steele began the season as No 1 despite a torrid home debut in the friendly defeat to Celtic, before a superb Carabao Cup display from Robbin Ruiter seemed to signal a changing of the guard.

Grayson sprung a surprise by recalling Steele for the 5-2 defeat to Ipswich Town and his subsequent performances have come under scrutiny. The Black Cats boss defended his display against QPR despite a soft first goal which saw the 27-year-old rooted to his line as Idrissa Sylla headed home. Grayson said: “I think the goalkeepers have had a bit of a hard time.

“They’ve made mistakes, of course they have, but it’s not easy for them out there. “It was very blustery at the weekend, and that can make it hard in certain areas with your kicking, but I thought Jason did make some good saves.

“There was one late on in the game that when you see it from behind, it takes a massive swerve.

“It was in the last four minutes, and while most people might have thought he would catch it, it took a massive swerve at the last second and he did well to get anything on it. I think he made some vital saves for us when they were needed, and I think Jason can be pleased with his performance.”

Ruiter will be pushing for a recall against Brentford but Grayson says he is looking for improvement from both of his goalkeepers.

He said: “Does he need to improve? Of course he does. But does every other player need to improve too? Of course they do. “We need to get B pluses or A minuses to get to where we want to get to.”

Mebees Grayson should go in goal if he is a good leaper.

Of course he'll defend his players. He also correctly says he has to improve.

Something else for some people to get apoplectic about for nee reason

You're spot on there. He has to defend his players, particularly his own signings.

If the thread title read, "Grayson blasts Steele", the comments would have been to lambast him for throwing Steele under the bus and blaming him for the signing.

I honestly believe that Steele gets picked ahead of Ruiter because he kicks the ball further, which appears to be a core component of our game plan: hoof it at a main striker who isn't a traditional target man and look perplexed when their CBs win everything, all day long.

Agreed
