Laner Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 1 minute ago, Dr Balls said: Couldn't blame Max for the first goal. Their player should never have been allowed to shoot. The cross that hit the post was a worry, and he doesn't look confident on crosses, which given the predictable aerial bombardment at the end was a problem. That said by comparison, the Wigan keeper was a piece of work. He made a couple of great saves but the play acting and time wasting was pathetic. But their player did shoot and Max should have done better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lad is learning his trade and has been thrown in as we’ve nothing else and he will make the odd wrong decision. LJ not doing very well with keepers Both quieter today against an energetic Reece James and combative Morsy. Pack a bit over-pretty today. But both Pack and Brownhill suffering from an infective Paterson in front of them today, who had a poor day. Palmer got us sparked and Pack and Brownhill better when he came on. Dasilva looked jaded today...2 tough away games as energetic wingback took its toll. Thought Kelly did well when he came on. Wigan have some good players, are physical, and gave us a scare. A game at h-t, where you take the point, but disappointed after leading so late, and the way other results went (in the main). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Testimitanu Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 We win 2-1 and this is a complete non-story. No need for a scapegoat, Wigan gambled and went for it as we did and it paid off. Get off his back and use that energy moaning to back the lad on Tuesday!

shelts Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Not assured today under the high ball as Garner and co made sure every One was contested . Maybe we missed Webster when the pressure was on but LJ did the right thing . Should be able to see games out and maybe go for the killer third Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That being said at the moment he’s the best we have at the moment. Any chance of seeing Niki or frank again this season? Silly comment. If both senior keepers were fit, he would probably be on loan elsewhere. Weirdly enough when you begin to prioritise the development of local youth players, this is what happens sometimes. We persevere with it as it is deeply rewarding in the long term. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ball under his body for when they hit the post. Glued for the goal. Appreciate he has done ok previous, but based on this doesn't look good enough at all. You are having a laugh. Judging him after one performance ? We were not god enough in Midfield today. Pack have the ball away too many times that put pressure on the defence. JB was largely anonymous. Looked like pinball to me at the end and it could have gone anywhere Some if you are well harsh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesBCFC Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Max didn't have a good game today, he should have gone for the first shot- it did appear to be going over but he should have tried to cover when it looked close. Wasn't dominant when it came to crosses and definitely the worst I've seen him play. But I've also seen him play quite well, so putting it down to an off day for a young goalkeeper. He will have hopefully learnt from that first goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedM Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Go to agree with most opinions. Amazing to be where we are with a young, inexperienced third choice keeper, but the defence and midfield should have protected him more. It’s almost like they backed off from shielding him as he’s played a couple of games now and they got a bit over confident in him. Some of our players looked like they had just played two tough away games, because they had. Wigan looked fresher as they didn’t play in the week. Credit to Wigan they played to the end, we never killed them off even after the two quick goals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aranu Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Max is very young in goalkeeper terms. He has alot to learn still and in a perfect world without the injuries to others would be on loan in league one/two learning that trade. If people feel the need to blame someone for the result today, they shouldn't start with Max. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solid game again JB backed off for the 1st and was poor in the hole today and the 2nd we got sucked in as a unit and didn't do the simple things and put it in row z..... still 7 from 9 is a good return just disappointing we conceded when we did.

BessexRED Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 I don’t think Max is good enough yet from what I’ve seen but he’s got my full support. We are where we are in terms of our keeper situation, it’s most unfortunate but the only thing we can do is get behind the young lad. I shan’t be criticising him and I’m a harsh critic.

ashton_fan Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Max is only 22 and our 3rd choice keeper you can't expect him to play like Gordon Banks, he's one of the best 3rd-choice keepers we've had for a long time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And Its Smith Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Poor to not go for the first one. For me, he loses concentration quite a lot. Maybe it’s due to his inexperience. The player lined up a shot and he wasn’t ready so didn’t move for it. A quick step left and dive and he may well have got to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that’s spot on. He’s 3rd choice, gaining experience. He’s done decently in the half a dozen games he’s played.

Think it sat up just as he hit it, and therefore it was a “quality mishit” that dipped and swerved. In both games against City he has been one of the best players on the park. His set pieces were right on the money too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chappers Posted April 6, 2019 Report Share Posted April 6, 2019 Youngster, little experience, not really ready, chucked into a team battling for a play off place, with a run of tough games, and playing twice a week. He’s done really well so far, considering all the above, and we should be fully behind whoever is in goal in our run in, as both are only there due to unfortunate circumstances.
