McGovern, worst performance ever at the Amex

Think he's the only player I have ever shouted "You're supposed to be a professional footballer" at in utter shock at how poor he was with his feet.

The only one close (for a goalkeeper) that I can think of is David Gonzalez for Barnsley.

Goalkeepers' mistakes get highlighted and seized upon. I've seen outfield players look hopeless for 90 minutes - Harding got mentioned, there was also an Arsenal full back who got the run-around from Buckley and the unfortunate Birmingham back who got ripped apart by March. There was also a Sheff Weds striker who liked he'd wandered over from a park game ... but as we managed to lose that, the less said the better

Believe it was Andre Santos that had the shocker for Arsenal at the Amex. Awful player.

I don't know. Mine was a genuine question - but I think Ruddy might have a chance of regaining his place now, maybe?

Ruddy was their number one for past few seasons. McGovern signed for them over summer after he performed well at the Euro's with Northern Ireland and has been their main goalkeeper since, def think Ruddy will get another chance after todays performance.

I credit Murray for spooking him in the sixth minute. He never recovered after that.

And the defence didn't seem to have much confidence in him after that either.

32 years old, 6 clubs, and not a penny paid for him by any of those - does seem a strange buy for a promotion chasing team.

Greg halford had a mare mostly against Buckley ( I think for Charlton). Got a yellow, should have had a 2nd, got subbed

Not quite the Harding level. McGovern gets 2ND worst for me

The Arsenal left back was also substituted at h/t, can't remember his name but he was as bad as Harding and McGovern.

EDIT: Sorry, just seen beaten to it - Santos.

Yep, it's up there with the worst we've seen. Alex Baptiste in the 6-1 against Blackpool is the other total embarrassment of a performance I can think of.
