You might want to take a look at the 2 goals Luton's keeper, Stech, conceded against Lincoln on New Year's Day.

I wouldn't take too much notice. It smacks of "let's Google current keepers of teams in the top 7 and put their names up".

Surely nobody is sad enough to take an active interest in players of other clubs at this level, unless they are actively involved in scouting....

Yes, some superb saves, yes a thoroughly great guy too I imagine, but in fairness to him, I do see goalies of all levels making the same mistakes. But he does certain areas of his play that want looking at. My concern, is that while we have Bittner as cover, is Bittner really CHALLENGING him for his spot?..... He does seem to be having a free ride, and earlier in Flynn's tenure he did definitely cost us around 10-12 points as direct result of errors. He does seem better now.
Somewhat humorously, when I get home from a match, Mrs.NGR asks me, "well, did butterfingers play?" .... and often when watching a game on TV, she'll look at me and say, "That was a Joe Day goal!"

If she can see it, I'm sure others can too.

Great shot stopper, great TV camera saves, but often on set pieces he's often 3 ft too far to the left, or right, or too slow off his line, or punches when he should catch......he puts me in mind of Shay Given.
Strangely, at Loftus Road, he's the sort of keeper that QPR would use..... He's not unlike Paddy Kenny too.

Butterfingers? Well your missus seems to know even less than you then.

You say he was responsible for losing us 10-12pts, yet nothing of the many points he's saved us with some excellent keeping.

He seems to miss the fact that I think he is a decent keeper at our level. Not the best but far from the worst. Yes I do think we could get better for less but that's it. I'm not disappointed that he is our keeper but if offered a fee of £50k and we could line up a replacement , of which there are quite a few for less wages then any manager would be a fool to turn it down.
The way he has been going on he thinks Day is unreplaceable and is destined for the Premier League

End of subject from me......I know he won't let it lie

Football being an "O-ring" game, i.e. you're as good as your weakest point. As we lack the analytics to see where the most impact can actually be found in a league full of basic errors and players with significant flaws, maximising ability in the one place significant mistakes usually cost goals makes sense.

There’s a fair argument there imho, the corollary is probably good to spend the same at the other end too as goals win games.
