Earned his pay today and no mistake. Best goalkeeping performance by a country mile since Marshall did much the same sort of thing for Cardiff at the Amex. Why always us?

He is one ofthe best keepers in the Championship.
Federici was considerably better than Marshall, and easily the best 'keeper performance I've seen for a long time.
v Cardiff we spent 90 mins hoofing the ball straight at Marshall.
Fed made a string of top quality saves in horrendous goalkeeping conditions.

He played well but personally none of the saves were other than routine. 1st half saved a his hear post but beaten by 2 efforts. 1 a great one off the post.
Second halfs good saves from CMS, holla ( great effort but travelled a long way) CMS again although he was off side and Bennett but that ended up straight at him. Eventually beaten by Calderon. Very good performance none the less

Nonsense IMO.
Federica was very good today, but Marshall was incredible. Federica didn't hold a single shot all game and was pretty fortunate that the rebounds fell to his team (the low shot from Bennett in particular). A couple of very good saves though. The one from March was excellent, and the one from CMS, that was offside, even better.
Today wasn't a day for holding the ball.
Marshall certainly wasn't incredible.
He had an awful lot to do, and he did it all well without a single mistake, not a confidence we can have in our own keeper.
Had Stockdale let just one of our chances in, we'd have still be happy with his game.
I'm certainly not belittling his performance that night, but at no point did Marshall have to even stretch for anything.
Today's conditions were a goalkeepers worst nightmare, not to mention having nothing to do for 40 minutes.
Yet when called upon Fed got something on the ball.
Those you've mentioned, Holla's blast, a couple of nasty shots bouncing right in front of him.
(Did I imagine a tip over as well?)
I'm with Martin Tylor. Nothing spectacular about his performance, not the sort worth starting a thread to drawl over. Decent, but not really tested with the sort of shots that require top draw saves.
Genuinely surprised to see such a thread. It wasn't that sort of performance.

Thought Federici had a good game, made some good saves- but nothing that you wouldn't hope your keeper would save. He did his job, and did it well. That's it for me.

This. Made all the saves he could, but were all well within his reach, no fingertips needed.

Made a couple of good saves but that was it, worst overall performance by a keeper all season 90% of his kicking would have looked at home in the county league.

Silly old bat
The one he tipped over the bar was definitely fingertips. Maybe it was the angle you viewed it from, but from the north stand he had to reach to tip it.

He definitely kept well but I felt most of the shots he saved were expected saves for most decent goalkeepers, he's definitely a good keeper but that performance had nothing on Marshall's IMO. He was insane that day.

The shot from Joe Bennett? A good save yes, but straight at him. How many goals do you see scored when a player from the edge of the box shoots directly over the keepers head at pace? Hardly any unless the keeper is too far off his line and it dips over him.
Not slagging him off as he clearly did what he had to, just don't think any of the saves he made, though they looked spectacular were anything other than what would be expected from any goalkeeper at this level.

I'm not disputing any of that. I was just pointing out that save was fingertips. If he hadn't tipped it over, it would have gone in under the bar.

I was livid with that
One player enabled play to be stopped so he could tie his shoelaces
