Nobody thinks he's crap (Ok, you might find some immediate hysterical take on the matchday thread, but nobody in the light of day thinks that).

Those talking about the possibility of changing keeper are just talking about taking an out of form player out of the limelight. It's a legitimate conversation given the last few weeks
But dropping a keeper for their mistakes can knock their confidence more. Mistakes when passing out from the back are to be expected with the way we play.

I'd play Hugo Fisher over the dopey dutchman, but I'm more jugemental as I get older! There is a good keeper in there somewhere..otherwise the club wouldn't have got him. Goalies seem to mature later than other positions, so a rotation can be a positive learning tool

This is only up for debate on here and twitter.

Bart will rightly start every game unless injured.
Even if the mistakes continue? Are you giving him a free pass then ? We’re not a charity.

Got to draw the line somewhere.

Mistakes happen. and we don't have an experienced back up.
If Steele was available, there would be more of a discussion to be had.
But he isn't.

Dunk hasn't been great for a while and there have been good options to replace him for a while.
But he won't get dropped either.

Bart for me, will probably be worse for him if he gets left out.
Apart from the obvious error for the goal he had a decent game.

If Steele were fit, I'd be saying we should start Bart in every game. With Steele unavailable, I think we should look to play Rushworth and give him his chance. I think he's earnt it and Bart does look like he could do with a spell out of the team.

Steele being injured has completely passed me by. What's he done?

Bart plays all day long. Who ever thinks the back up keeper should come in probably needs their head testing.
