If you're Barton on Saturday how on earth do you decide on a goalkeeper!?!
Belshaws confidence must already be knocked by having Balcombe brought in on loan but then Balcombe hasn't come to sit on a bench.
Personally I'd look after our own and put Belshaw straight back in. Yes he makes some funny decisions but I still think the amount of times he has saved us compared to the mistakes he has made leaves him with plenty of credit in the bank.

Belly all day long for me!

Pretty easy choice.
It was a bizarre decision to drop Belshaw in the first place.

Kick up the arse has been made.
I don’t think Belly’s confidence will have been affected but I expect that he’ll have a drive to kick bishop Barton up the arse.

On the face of it the Signing of the new man did not make much sense, he did not have much to reccomend him but then again nor did Belly at the time of his signing, that has proved to be an inspired decision up to now, it is hoped the same will be said of the new man in time, think Belly has to play Sat.

Who ever it is, we need to get right behind them, even if it's not our choice.

Can we play both? Maybe keep a clean sheet then?

Every goal we conceded against Morecambe apart from the OG was bad positioning & generally poor keeping.
He plays against MK and makes another clanger,heads drop and we struggle again.
Belly back in for me all day long,he should not of been dropped in the first place,infact we did not even need another keeper, a complete waste of a space when we were crying out for another defender.

I watched the extended highlights again this morning and every goal conceded was shocking defending, both from the defence and no protection in front from midfield. The 1st and 5th goals weren't great keeping, but again shocking defending and far too easy for them to get a shot off. Crowley given far too much time and space all game and not closed down time and time again and in wide positions the two full backs were given a torrid time with Gibbons out of position on the left and looking lost in large parts of the game. An all round embarrassing defensive horrorshow for 90 minutes. |

We gave them too much space agreed but just feel if Belly was playing he would have saved most of those shots as he has been doing week in week out. Morecambe had just five shots on target all game,we shot ourselves in the foot by making unecessary changes when we didn't need to but i suppose everybody see's things differently.

As I called it from the away end, people can bleat about Belly all they like but on that particular day with the 10 outfield lads conducting themselves like they did, not even he was stopping that from being a comprehensive hiding. It’s still laughable now the suggestion that the keeper was the only reason we lost, let alone so heavily. |

Alexis Andre Jr had a brilliant debut for us and never featured again.
One match does not a keeper make.

Would it be a knee jerk reaction to drop the new keeper after 1 appearance? Joe Barton would never do that 🤣🤣 although he did say we have 2 number 1 keepers now (or words to that effect) so nobody can be sure who he turns to for Saturdays game.I have voted for Balcombe in the poll as no player should be judged on 1 game only and I think the manager will play him again.

Alexis Andre Jr had a brilliant debut for us and never featured again. One match does not a keeper make. True but I think Ward is better and others seem to think he is as well. I never saw his game against Blackpool but we complain sometimes about the PL signing all these youngsters and not giving them a chance and loaning them out. With a talented keeper like Ward the same argument could be used against us. We have him, I just wish we would have given him a chance. I fear he won’t get that under the present management. Aaron Ramsdale now at Arsenal was signed by AFCB at 17 and was then loaned out to Chesterfield, played about 20 matches and was relegated out of the league, loaned to AFC Wimbledon played and was relegated. Came back to AFCB played all season and was relegated out of PL. Returned to Sheffield U was relegated again. Enough relegations to destroy his confidence but none his fault although the Chesterfield fans were not over pleased with him. Now he’s preparing to be a PL winner. My point is Ward needs similar exposure to league football and I wish he would get it with us. UTG, |

UTG, Ward made some good saves when he played v Blackpool and he has had a season to improve since them so im surprised we didnt just have him on the bench pushing for a 1st team place. Must be a better option than someone elses player. |

How do I tell my son it might not be Belshaw in goal on Saturday? He will be devastated!

Belshaw for me. Yes, he has made a few bad decisions in recent games, but how many times has he pulled off outstanding saves and kept us in games. Quality keeper. I also don't understand JB'S thinking on this. However, he will do it his way. Competition for places is good.
