Patto

Don't agree with that at all. Decision making is very good. You are judging him against perfection. The Plymoith goal is a case in point. Once the ball hits the net then people deem the decision to have been the wrong one. He made the decision almost every keeper would make on that one and stayed at home reasonably expecting his defenders to deal with it. They didnt and should have.

His weakness with his feet might be a weakness but again its massively overplayed. Hes expected to play it short allowing us to play around the press. The fact that some fans might 'shit themselves' every time he does it is more to do with them than him. He's always expected to hit the widest player either side with his longer hits and overhits some which seems to bring out bulging veins in the foreheads of many.

It comes down to fans who in my view judge goalkeepers to a ridiculous level. I dont think we have ever conceded a goal where at least a few people haven't slagged him off for even their second yesterday :lol: Hes a good keeper and I guarantee if we have any keeper in the division between our sticks we would have the same goalkeeping experts pointing out faults because they dont claim every cross, stop every shot and play out from the back like Pirlo.

You are correct, it all comes down to the level that you are expecting. Some people want players to be good enough to take us to the next level, others will be happy with any old crap that wears the shirt, then there's everybody in between.

Yes. I’m judging Patto against his peers and he’s easily one of the best in this league. I don’t think hardly any of our players are good enough to play consistently well at the next level tbf.

We only have a few that play consistently well at this level.
 
What’s the craic with Maaty Young? Seemingly dropped after 3 games without a clean sheet and not in the squad at all at the weekend. Bit harsh after 8 clean sheets in 9 games.
 
Why dropping him after all this. It's ridiculous. He's a good keeper. Clubs are circling him, so what are your issues with him. Dislike him away from football? Get a life mate
 
We don't have anyone better so we can't drop him. We should look at getting a better keeper in for next season though, whether we go up or not.
 
Had very little to do, but the one save he had to make he kept out. Wasn't even pressured enough to kick long so can't even pick faults at his distribution this time. I was amazed at how poor luton were
