May be it's a confidence thing. When he was first with us, Mildy would regularly come for balls into the area, often as far out as the penalty spot. Didn't always get them, but he still kept coming for them. Perhaps as form and confidence has returned to the shot stopping and distribution side of his game, so will dominating in the air. Perhaps it's a defensive organisation thing. How many goals do we conceded from crosses ? How many goals do we concede full stop for that matter. If our defence is good at dealing with crosses then maybe our keeper is better off in his goal not trying to tear through a mass of players leaving an open goal. You may be right Socrates with much of this, but I really don't understand why he makes no effort to move his position at corners whether the cross is very close to him or not. He could take the pressure off the defence MUCH more in my view - but for some reason doesn't. Wimbledon game - they put in some great corners but I don't recall him even coming out to punch one. I'm of the view that a keeper commands his area - Mildenhall doesn't do this at all - but so far it hasn't cost us - I only hope it won't until the season ends. UTG !

I hope so too. It could be that at this stage of his career he's looked back and decided that he has been a better keeper when staying on his line. Close range reaction saves do seem to be his trademark.

Love that you can hear the screen soccer lads going nuts in the background. Sincere lack of Bristolian commentators.

I know it's a league thing but always listen out for them on the gasplayer highlights as that post match commentary they add is just so dull. Why can't we just have the screensoccer dubbed over it? They are there doing it anyway, seems rude not to!
