Over the past 3 plus years the team has shipped an obscene amount of goals yet Gillespie seems to avoid a lot of blame. Is it too easy to blame the goal keeper or does Curle need to bring someone else in/give Hanford a go?

He looked very dodgy yesterday on crosses which is quite uncharacteristic. Should the goalkeeper coach be a full time post?

possibly, but he saved a hell a lot more than conceding yesterday. it would take an exceptional performance from him to save all those Barnet goal attempts......and if he was capable of that he wouldnt be with us.

First half he was awful, seems to be exempt from blame for some reason but i was under the impression anything in the 6 yard box was the keepers, somebody must have had a word with him because within minutes of the second half he came out and caught two.

Whatever you say about Gillespie, Hanford is not the answer.

Gillespie made numerous mistakes including coming out for a ball and missing it completely . I think it was just one of those days of calamity defence but we got away with it.

Gillespie is homegrown, therfore immune from any criticism, just like Dempsey was last season and Potts the season before.

Potts definitely wasn't immune from criticism last season! Maybe it's more because Gillespie has kept us in more games than he's lost for us and he's also our longest serving player?

Coming out and missing it yeah. What were the other mistakes he made? I thought he had a decent game other than that moment. I couldn't really fault him for the 2 goals

It must be fantastic for young players like Brough and Gillespie to come on here after a second consecutive win and read about how poor they are. I imagine it will really help their confidence.

Love the way folk come up with rubbish like this. How is anything in the 6 yard box automatically the keepers? Does it not depend on who else is there, the speed, height etc of the delivery into the box and the balance of risk in coming for the ball or staying where you are?

From their corners they stood at least one man and sometimes two, directly in front of Gillespie, he had no way of getting round them and coming to claim the ball. It's a clever tactic and one we employ using Asamoah.

The centre halfs were big strong lads, and good in the air, however they weren't the fastest, and they really had no answers when Asamoah or McQueen got in behind them. One of the reasons Asamoah was caught offside so much was because he knew he could tear clear at any time.

Sorry jelly I should have elaborated just for you, any crosses /corners coming into the 6 yard box and the keeper should be anticipating coming for them.I couldn't give you the exact speed but would guess he should be collecting anything under 30mph

Why elaborate just for me, does everyone else have to put up with sweeping generalisations?

It must be very difficult for Gillespie with the formation we are playing. We effectively only had one centre back against two very big strikers. Barnet did a good job on the set pieces blocking him on his line, meaning that he couldn't come for the ball. I don't think it was his best game, but he again saved us on several occassions. He is a bit short of confidence by the look of things... who wouldn't be with that shambles of a defence in front... but he is streets ahead of Hanford as a goaalkeeper.

Because you're the only one throwing a hissy fit over a generalisation.
