If you score three goals, it doesn't matter whether Caspar had an oopsie or not.
If you score none, it costs you the game.
There's no defense like a good offense.

I agree to a degree but a 0-0 draw at Boro away would've been a good result as well.

Gus was after Harper for 3 months, if that had come off then there's no way Caspar would've been playing.
He's a good shot stopper but panics and flaps at crosses and when put under pressure by opposing forwards. There's been to many times this season where his mistake has cost us. He also makes poor choices. In particular I remember that amazing fight back from being 2-0 down against Leeds to lead 3-2. It was stoppage time, all we needed was a roll or pass out from Caspar and possession football or a long kick into the oppositions wings. Instead the ball was kicked straight to the Leeds keeper who promptly booted it back into our area and Leeds scored with the last kick of the match. Bone head.
There was a reason Leeds jettisoned him when they were promoted from Division 1 to the Championship, he ain't good enough at this level.

I am a Casper fan, however i agree if not playing well ,he should be dropped. What i just cannot understand is that we have a shed load of keepers ,none of which it seems can be trusted to play instead !!!!!! I must be missing something.........

Ankergren & Brezovan out as soon as possible. Too many loss-causing errors.
And an aura of shakiness, passed on to the defence in general.
Classy Harper showed what's out there.

No you are not missing anything. I've seen most Brezovan games & he's even worse.

He did and it looked bad from behind the goal but shit happens, wonder if Barnes feels as bad as he did for missing an easy header ?

Whatever.We've improved by 8 goals on our first league visit there.
Didn't listen or go and haven't seen the mistake but Ankergren just isn't good enough. Lee Camp from Forest in January would be a cracking signing as I'm sure he'd rather be at a team who are pushing for the play offs then a team who could be in League 1 next season.

Interesting that nobody is questioning Gus Poyet's judgement given that he signed all three goalkeepers we have and came out publicly in the summer and declared that he was happy with the goalkeepers at the club, despite many on here targetting this position as an area of weakness. Let's face it, Ankergren is mediocre (although I for one will not be rushing to get on his back next week unlike many idiots around me no doubt) but the other two are MILES off this level.

There are keepers that make "less" mistakes. Ankergren is stronger in some areas, like playing with his feet, but he is much weaker than many, especially on crosses and a fair few shots/headers from fairly close in, he stays rooted to the spot.
He is not shit, but he has big weakness on crosses and he isn't "consistently" good enough in all areas at this level....... The clubs problem is no competition as Brez is terrible with his feet and maybe even more error prone.

Was Harper really that much better? Good at taking the ball from crosses...but what else?...i think most people will let him off the error re the hammers game
Why let him off and crucify Casper?
