It's been pretty clear for a while now his problem is getting down for low shots. A quality keeper is essential this season

Football is a funny old game. DC must be really struggling with his decision here. Told mildy he had no future at the club 6mths ago (and he very nearly retired). Some poor/average gk loans along with injuries saw mildy play outstandingly in the last third of the season. Does DC continue to stick by his good form or return back to his initial feeling? Shows DC is not narrow minded and rewards form, as any good manager should do.

Goalkeeping was not the reason we lost the game, rank poor defending on all three goals was! First goal was two poor headers but the last two were both down to players being able to run at us unopposed. It was clear to see early in the second half that Scunthorpe had the ability to get past our midfield and get outside of our back three. Needless corners given away and needless possession given away on so many occasions. I actually felt Mildy played very well and not sure that another keeper would have done any better overall- better midfield players would have made a difference.

The discussion over players I feel sometimes gets over complicated. No one disputes Mildy is a nice bloke who served the club well in our hour of need. Was professional when dropped and played well on his return. We do need a better keeper now if we want to improve as a side. A better keeper would improve our defence as a unit which in turn would add to the confidence of our midfield.
How we get a better keeper is down to finance and whether the club decide to make the required investment. If we are serious about our development as a club it is possible to make that investment in a keeper without unsettling the rest of the squad as it's a role the majority of the squad can't fulfil.

Ive always had doubts about him but to be fair he contributed just as much as matty to get us promoted especially in the last third of the season we would not be where we are now without him but we do have to look forward

The thing about mildenhall is he doesn't have a good save in him any more. he can do the basics well but if you want a keeper that's going to win you points he is not your man.

Unfortunately, IMO time has caught up with Mildy, yesterday, he did all the regulation things well, but he is not agile enough, and DC must be looking to replace (although surely not with Puddy ?) UTG

The defence was not at all unsettled by having Mildy behind them but were unsettled by their lack of pace which which means they have to defend 20 yards further back than ideal with a midfield that being blunt is just not good enough. I do not disagree that we could do with a younger more mobile keeper but there are far more glaring weaknesses in the size the biggest problem being we have a large number of very average midfielders most of whom could be good squad players but not starters.

From memory he brought off a couple of brilliant saves late last season, but it looks like the forum's got its first target of the season already, even if he actually did nothing wrong yesterday - well done!

Agreed,its about prioritising,midfield needs sorting out first,then its goalkeeper and centre forward.

Unfortunately stevek neither you nor I know whether the defence or wider team is unsettled by our gk as we don't know what goes on in their minds. It's simply a case that there are better keepers in the league and I feel it's an opportunity to build from the back a solid unit.
I don't think our keeper has become a target for anything other than concern for the clubs development. I think keepers spend their careers knowing their performances will be scrutinised due to the unique nature of their role. I'm sure Mildy is pretty thick skinned.

You think Nichollsd or Puddy would have done any better?Mildenhall pulled off a brilliant save early in the game when our defence fell apart again,and then look at the goals on tv,he had no chance. As an aside if it had been Parkes who headfed a cross straight back across the box to the original crosser he would have been crucified,as it is nothing is said about that amateurish defending that created the first goal. Looks like Mildenhall is the scapegoat for all the wrongs in the side this season already,instead of that look at the 2 errors from the poor mans Olly that led to 2 of scunthorpes goals

OK, I meant the second goal, although having looked at the extended highlights now how was it a corner for the first goal when Milders just seemed to just catch a cross which had gone out, rather than taking the cross out of play when he caught it? The second goals seems to be Locks fault for standing off his man for too long, he also gave the ball away leading up to that gaol and got caught out by the goalscorer for the third!!!
