He made 5 or 6 saves against Leeds, and how many of the three were down to him. His distribution is shit though.

About 4 if them were easy saves.

2 of the goals he should have saved.

Wilson did more wrong on Saturday

The fact Dovin isn’t on the bench suggests it may be something other than form.

How many of Dovin’s conceded were his fault? None

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Dovin has shown nothing outstanding so far at all. People are just upset because he cost a lot or they hate Wilson. Dovin hasn't demonstrated that he's a cut above, and if rumours are true that he's too quiet I'm not sure why we're surprised Wilson is in.

 

[stupot07]

It's madness. This season should have been the one to take the partnership to new levels.

Given all 3 of those game were league games

Simms and Wright Start together

YES: 4 points from 3 games
NO: 1 point from 4 games

Admittedly a small sample size.

He is

 

[rob9872]

Hopefully you're eating humble pie after a cleansheet later

(Looking forward to you all quoting g lme back if he doesn't, but silence if he does as it will be down to the defence )

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

2-1 win, robins to begin his press conference with a statement directed to the doubters on SBT going full on Farage

“you all laughed at me… well you’re not laughing now” then dropping the mic, walking off cursing Dr Claire and George Boateng, myself and Nick

Did you see the Leeds game?

 

[The watchmaker]

Think robins knows he’s made a mistake with dovin already

Nah, he is still young. He's not done badly in my view. Robins has made comments about him not being vocal enough. That will come when he is more comfortable with his defence.

 

[rob9872]

Did you see the Leeds game?

Yes I was there and would pick wilson

Has he demonstrated that he’s worse than Wilson?

 

[MalcSB]

He is

Sorry, couldn’t read the small print so was guessing based on some comments on here. My eyesight is so poor I probably qualify to be a referee.

 

[Nick]

Yes I was there and would pick wilson

Even though he dived out the way of the ball for a goal? Not to mention that other madness when he dropped it?

If Wilson is the answer then the £2 million+ we spent on goalkeepers is a curious question…

 

[Para1140]

A couple of weeks a go people on here were calling for Wilson to be given a chance saying weve only had clean sheets when hes played. Typical SBT
At least Wilson talks to his defence and can hold on to a ball sometimes. Not convinced about Dovin yet

 

[rob9872]

Here's an idea, let's get behind the team and you never know ...!

 

[Nick]

Even more reason to play him then?

Were they? I wasn't

Again, Wilson is terrible at holding onto it. See the leeds game.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Did you see the Leeds game?

People are arguing 'Dovin has done nothing wrong to be dropped', but he's hardly played in a fashion that makes you feel like he's been outstanding enough to keep the shirt either.

Whether Wilson played good or shite against Leeds has nothing to do with this point.

 

[HuckerbyDublinWhelan]

On a serious note, I think robins needs 4 points from these two home games and I reckon he gets them

 

[Para1140]

He was shite

Were you there Grendel ?

 

[rob9872]

Even though he dived out the way of the ball for a goal? Not to mention that other madness when he dropped it?

When he dropped it was our end, he came out bravely dived at feet then fumbled but good recovery and cane to nothing.

On the dived out the way bollocks I assume the other end but most accept he's a decent shot stopper and criticise other aspects of the game, so I doubt he'd be in if manager or goalkeeper coach even thought you might be half right.

 

[RoysterE17]

Tonight is the night we turn it around!!! Would start dovin over wilson be we don't get to see everyday training. I would also like to know why binks been dropped thought he started season well just not got a look in past few games

Very true.

 

[no_loyalty]

At this rate we will be buying a new GK every summer. Dovin will be well pissed off.

 

[Skybluekyle]

Society: Oh Kyle, can’t you go five seconds without humiliating yourself?

(Says “good morning” to a steward when arriving at the ground)

Me: How long was that?

Whether Wilson played good or shite against Leeds has nothing to do with this point.

The point is that Wilson did more to be dropped but keeps his place.

 

[Perennial Lurker]

Like BTA starting ,he will press high

Dislike Wilson starting

He’s a keeper? You pick your number one and stick with him for longer than 6 games ffs. Confidence is more important for them than any other player on the pitch.

 

[Earlsdon_Skyblue1]

Has he demonstrated that he’s worse than Wilson?

None of us have seen enough to demonstrate that he's better either.

It comes down to preference and transfer fee. If Dovin had been outstanding then I would get the outrage, but he hasn't. Wilson is hardly Neuer, but he isn't Sky Blue Sam either.

It isn't a massive controversy (if he throws the ball in the net tonight then I'll retract this probably).

 

[The watchmaker]

Even more reason to play him then?

Don't get me wrong - I'm with you on this. I don't have a problem with wilson and let's be honest we'd have lost to Leeds whoever was in goal but FFS Robins just pick your first choice 11 and play it.

 

[rob9872]

The point is that Wilson did more to be dropped but keeps his place.

In your opinion ...

 

[Jamesimus]

So could Sheaf,Kitching Da Silva and Mason Clark

A fair point, but two of them aren’t playing!

 

[Nick]

Why do the stewards walk round like they are armed police going to do a drugs bust?

The are literally pulling shutters down on the outside bars.

Calm down.
