Don't blame Mildenhall at all for the first. A poor defensive header by Gaffney and then slack marking at the back post led to that one.
He wasn't solely at fault for the other 2 either but I think he could have done better with both.
I've said all pre season we need a new keeper and I still think that's the case.

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. Comments like this always make me laugh. Rank poor defending may have been the main reason we lost, but it still doesn't take away from the fact that with a better goalkeeper we may not have lost also. There are often a variety of contributing factors to a defeat, yesterday a better keeper might have saved goals 2 and 3. I think yesterday probably confirmed the opinion of almost every single gashead at the moment in that a keeper and a centre mid is required.

Sorry but you're talking utter nonsense about the 3rd, no goalie at our level is ever going to save a shot hit with power from that angle/distance.

Mildi reactions to slow for last two goals ,never got down quick enough for last goal, age telling, sorry just my opinion. Can you explain why his reactions were too slow for the first goal, he dived full length but the shot simply beat him, the final goal would have beaten any goalie. Nah he's got to be getting in the way or at least touching that third. It's literally right next to him. Very poor.

You must have seriously low goalkeeping standards if you think no keeper at L1 level is saving that!

You must have seriously low goalkeeping standards if you think no keeper at L1 level is saving that! IF MT let a goalie save his shot from that distance he'd got slaughtered on here for missing a sitter, for a goalie to get down and push that shot around the post would have been classed as a "worldy" by most football fans. Meanwhile Daniels couldn't keep out MT's shot when it was hit straight at him!

The hardest place for a big keeper to get down is close to his feet , he had no chance as the shot was taken early and the player was not challenged. very poor defending but we were caught pressing for an equaliser.

I think mildi could have done better with the 2nd goal, watching it again I don't think he moves his feet enough to adjust. The third I think was hit to close for him to get down. I think milldenhall is a solid keeper at best but not sure if he is capable anymore of winning is matches on his own. I think the goalkeeper situation will tell us a lot about clubs ambitions this year, keep milldenhall and it's mid table at best. Push the boat and invest in a new decent keeper and we will see how serious they are.

For me Mildy could have done better with the 2nd and 3rd goals. I like Mildy but his game is on the decline in terms of reactions and mobility, this was evident yesterday. DC has a big call to make before the month is out, he has already publically said Mildy wasn't his first choice keeper last season. I would like a new keeper in to give much needed competition for the keepers jersey, as there is not a lot there at the moment.

Mildy does all the basics well,communicates well ,is good on one on ones generally but is just losing a bit of reaction time. The real fact is puddy has no league experience and little game time of recent times. It is getting him out on loan that is beneficial and bringing in a new keeper who is upto speed and can challenge or surpass Mildy as first choice. It's not about ditching a reliable keeper

So it's a good thing for him to be playing every week surely ?

Normally yes , but should DC sign a new keeper either the new boy or Mildy would play the reserve keeper role.

But who said DC's looking to sign a new keeper? Whilst he's said he wants to bring players in we've no idea if they are outfield players or a keeper, for all we know he may be happy with Milders as No 1 and Puddy has back up, should we ever need another keeper we can still use the loan market and avoid playing another keepers wages for a full season.

You are correct ,its all speculation nothing more. Though seeing as the keeper is no spring chicken it would be prudent to start getting a replacement ready this season.

This thread is shocking. If the manager can find a better keeper then Mildenhall will have to fight for place just as he did before, until then get behind the guy who played a big part in us going up last year. Football is a team game, and all three goals yesterday were conceded by the team.

Football is a team game, and all three goals yesterday were conceded by the team. Accept last season Mildy wasn't given a chance to fight for his place, Chapman was parachuted straight into the first team, then Nicholls was parachuted into the first team and then when Nicholls left an unfit Puddy was given the role, only after Puddy brokedown less than 47 minutes into his comeback was Mildy used. To his credit as an absolute pro he'd kept himself ready for that eventuality and didn't let anyone down for the rest of the season. Having said all that I believe we need another keeper in that can genuinely challenge for the first team spot. And challenge is the important word, any new keeper should be offered the chance to make the spot his own but not promised that spot.
