You would say no , I would say that’s it’s a contributory factor. What I do know is that Townsend hasn’t contributed to any Lge victories yet.

Like I said we don’t agree.

Ps Goalkeeping isn’t just about one handed saves .... it’s the full package .... does the defence have the same amount of confidence in him that they have in King ?? .... we may argue it shouldn’t affect their performances but sub consciously it might ???

But it's certainly a bit of a coincidence.

(Edit: reply to UTP, obvs).

There was another rumour we were interested in signing his brother to bolster our midfield, but were put off because his name is Wayne.

Spot on there.
Albeit Townsend loves Hoof ball

Got to say that's why Joe Day was never challenged because of his superb shot stopping.
Nothing else
Distribution woeful
Commanding the box woeful
Saving Pens woeful.
World class saves superb

Hero for us but third choice in Championship.
I rest my case

Saving pens woeful mmm play off semi final

And not forgetting voted League 2 keeper of the season
You really need to up your game

I heard Flynny wasn't too happy with King being unavailable for the FA cup reply home to Grimsby due to over doing the celebrations the night before incidentally I thought Townsend had his worst game for us Saturday and his kicking so predictable aiming for Matt every time

League 2 keeper due to some world class shot stopping .
Not for his distribution or command of his box.
Until the play off semis I don't think he had made a save ever.
Pen against us a certain goal.

Day improved a lot in his last season with us I thought. He still had the odd game where he reverted to his old bad habits, but I thought his kicking in particular was unrecognisable from before.

Someone somewhere is giggling at this rumour they started.

Deal agreed with league 1 club apparently were rumours before match.
Not playing to prevent risk of injury

Has anyone else noticed we've not won a league game since he lost his place? Not criticising townsend who is clearly a good keeper, but the dynamics of a team sport can sometimes be complex.

Read the thread from start to finish.

Can't be arsed, but either way we're another game into the run.

Listening to RW,Townsend was the only player performing in the second half.
