The only thing that lets Walton down at the moment is his distribution - on that count Stockdale to regain his place
I am critical because he seems to do it at least once in every game rather than just one occassion, In the last couple of seasons when a shot or cross came in there was a thought of no worry PIG is there, the same confidence is not there now and I am sure most supporters sense it.

This is one thing that frustrates me about Naylor/The Argus. He does this update on the fitness/recovery of players, but it's never comprehensive, there's always someone missing, in this case Stephens. He's been back in training for a while (according to the last report), but this was non-contact training, and has been going on for a while. All of this might suggest that we shouldn't get our expectations up too much about Solly, simply because he's now back in training; his playing might be some way off still.
He SEEMS to do it, but apart from one time at Ipswich, you haven't named another occasion when he did it. Walton also conceded the second goal at Spurs by palming the ball back across the 6 yard box, but you've forgotten that too.
That'll be Solly off then I reckon.
For a team that on the one hand is supposedly of "L1 quality", there's a great many of us on here that think, at the same time, that half our players will be snapped up or "off" the moment Jan 1st comes round (Dunk, March, Walton, KLL . basically anybody that can string a pass together). All bar poor JFC of course who is both L1 quality or worse and has bewitched poor old deluded Gareth Southgage into making him an Eng U21 regular for the last 6 months.
No I dont and if he should prove to be competant I will admit it as I have recently, but as Mellotron says it comes to something when an inexperienced 19 year old can show him how to hold the ball. On his recent performances he has shown to be a waste of £1m, we could have had Al Habsi on loan while we gave Walton more time. Al Habsi is a better keeper and is out of contract this year.

Didn't Stockdale also do it for the 2nd goal against Middlesboro?
It wasn't a parry. He did well to get down by the post but was unable to catch it cleanly.
Not sure I agree, think he should have turned it round the post. From 36secs on

So you can't remember when, or against who, Stockdale should have (in your opinion) possibly done better with a shot, and he may or may not have done this in some or all games?I am unable to remember each incident and relate to which game but remember at the time saying he should have held that, and it has happened in virtually every game. So far this season he has been poor and well below my expectation with his record.
You are obviously young enough to remember and recall every moment in every game, as I used to be able, but sadly not now, and I just remember the general points. But it doent change my views or opinions[/QUOTE
How can your opinion or view be justified if you can only remember parts of games and not the whole game?
It does rather blow your opinions and views to bits.
You must have forgotten the two penalty saves he has made.
