Yeah, Stockdale let us down so badly it's a miracle we're not still in the Championship.
True, but he did cost us the title!

Yeah I was especially impressed with our defense's penalty saves.Didn't say he let us down , just think he's overrated . Have to remember he had a very solid defence in front of him .
Are you sure that wasn't Murray and Baldock not combining to get us 2-0 up?True, but he did cost us the title!
My point was really that some posts are knocking Ryan already but Stockdale did make some major errors as well as some amazing saves. I would have been happy if he had stayed but respect the club's management's judgement in that they obviously didn't think he would be first choice.Yeah I was especially impressed with our defense's penalty saves.

I'm not saying he was above the rest of our team, but he was a good keeper who helped us get promoted. He wasn't average, he played well through the season.
That's what you meant by "No another keeper who's going to get away with being average on the pitch because of what a nice bloke he is off it"? Ok.My point was really that some posts are knocking Ryan already but Stockdale did make some major errors as well as some amazing saves.
Remember Kuipers first game for us when he got subbed at half time !!
How did he turn out in the end I wonder
yep - Southend away in 2000

There is a reason stockdale isn't playing in the premier league !!!Overrated on the back of one league match against probably the strongest team in the league where neither of the goals were his fault?
And it helps the defence if they can have confidence in the goalkeeper, which they seem to have.

Oh I see. If the opposition are doping, they're going to be doing it in controlled calculated way, not via a bottle that's in the physio's basket.That is not what I meant at all. What I mean is you would have no idea what was in the bottle. Why take the risk? The opposition may be doing something dodgy.
