Mildenhall is just not a very good goalkeeper anymore, he was very over hyped during the run in last year and needs to be replaced.

Third goal happens every week in all leagues ,player runs through completely unopposed, keeper comes out and player shoots- ball goes through keepers legs,just past keepers foot, hammers past or trickles past into the net. The reason for this is because the keeper has been left totally exposed and has to make a decision to dive quick or stay on his feet. Anybody who has played in goal will know that the situation is totally in favour of the striker and so often the mishit shot will be the one that goes in. If Mildy had saved it it would have been a good save. Criticism on the second goal is more justified but the third is totally poor defensive work at a time when we were going all out for an equaliser. In fact if anything it should be the midfield and defensive players getting the criticism.

I don't think either is the answer long term, but the idea that 1) there's a big Mildenhall love in and 2) Puddy is some kind of victim, is crazy. The aftermath of Saturday tells me that people were waiting in the wings to criticise Mildenhall. I'm comfortable with criticising players if they've made a mistake but the truth is none of those goals on Saturday were Mildenhall's fault. Poor defensive headers for the first, freedom of Scunthorpe for the second, one on one which many keepers wouldn't have saved for the third. He started poorly last year and deserved to be dropped, but then he rightly earned his place back in the second half of the season. There was a few posts along the lines of 'he's 38, he needs to go!!!!' which seems pre-meditated to me. I'm willing to give the bloke more than 90 minutes to keep his place, even if we bring another keeper in. The bottom line is, Mildy is essentially there for when the defence fail to do their job. Yes the defending was poor but Mildy didn't do his job either and has to take some of the blame. There is very much a Mildy love in and Puddy who never even got a chance in League 2 when fully fit yet alone League 1 would be getting a tonne of abuse if he was in goal Saturday. Mildy was great last season when he returned to form, but he was also poor in the Conference and Puddy came in and offered something different and was far better than Mildy was that year. DC brought Puddy in and whether he decides to play him or not, I'm behind the decision. But people have a dig at others for blaming Mildy and they are the same people who blame Puddy for NOT costing us promotion at Wembley and who throw up a sh** storm if he gets near the starting 11. If Mildy is there for when the defence fail, why is the defence not being replaced in the minds of the forum experts, given they undeniably failed three times for all of the goals? I'm not calling for a complete overhaul because its one game and I recognise the good work they did last season I'm defending Mildenhall, but that doesn't mean I think abuse of Puddy right. Unfortunately Puddy was given a chance last year but he got injured and Mildy looked good in his absence. That's football. I backed the decision to drop Mildenhall after his poor spell in the Conference but Puddy didn't exude confidence either - failed to control area against a tall Dover team twice and one or two slip ups versus Chester, Grimsby etc.

or time for Gasheads to stop needlessly kncoking players on the forum/FB etc and actually support them, fans talk about the Twerton spirit has being great but did we single out players then as a target for criticism? Yes. Never been any different just wasn't done from behind a screen and away from the games.

Mildenhall brings a lot to the table he might not be the quickest at getting down these days but he has still has a lot to offer, if he did have a all round game in terms of distribution, reactions, commanding area etc he would be in the premier league playing. I'm sure most goalkeepers outside the top division have there faults. Hes got my support and I am confident about him being between the sticks. But.... You Gotta get up to get down. Lol

please post it on here in graphic detail, and we can all destroy you blaming you for that, the state of the economy and the traffic around Bristol, seriously this certain derision against certain players is distasteful, Mildy never due a Bruce Grobelaar and throw it in his net, he had no support from the players putting in challenges and they were all culpable, we probably do need a new keeper but who is at blame for that certainly not Mildy. From experience people who do not make mistakes do F""" all at work, rant over!

There would be a sensible and reasonable discussion about a) how to rectify the mistake b) how to stop it happening again. That discussion may also cover such things as a) do we have the correct / enough resources b) are those resources (people) in the best role. You wouldn't see what happens on here that just because you've questioned the team selection you are somehow disagreeing or undermining DC. And certainly if I agreed with my manager (ie we need 2 or 3 new players) he wouldn't start attacking me for agreeing with him but hey that's what a lot of people were doing on the last match thread. Difference is posters are not discussing the team faults generally but singling out one player after just one game, it's all a bit sad really that when a teams done so well as Rovers have lately that posters have to choose a target so early in the season, claiming he's to blame for goals when virtuallyno Div 1 goalie would save them i.e would anybody swap Luke Daniels for SM for just this season?

Time to move on with this Mildy love in or time for Gasheads to stop needlessly kncoking players on the forum/FB etc and actually support them, fans talk about the Twerton spirit has being great but did we single out players then as a target for criticism? Mildy and the whole team get my undivided support at the matches when I sing loud and proud. A forum is a way to give your honest opinions - mine are that Mildy should have done better with at least 2 of the 3 on Saturday. and so should the other players!

It's a pity the players can't give an honest opinion on the supporters, they have to say ' the are the best, brilliant, the 12th man ' I bet some would rather say ' I can't stick that Special lady garden in the front. But they have to stay loyal ! Funny old game ain't it.

Agree. Oh... Personally I don't feel a combination of Mildenhall & even a fit Puddy is good enough for Div 2, as we seemed to be stuck with Mildenhall for this season then we should have really just offered Puddy a month to month contract until he was fit and recruited a new No 1.

It's amazing, because if it was Puddy no one would be creating threads like this and would instead be creating threads demanding us to get rid. its ok to want a new keeper but if you look at the 3 goals saturday the only one any keeper could have saved is the 2nd goal at it would have been a very good save. so the problem for me is that so far 1 game in mildenhall hasnt put a foot wrong yet

I've not seen any needless knocking, as you call it, but justified observations. Everyone knows what a great player he's been for the club, but all players need to be kept on their toes and criticism comes with the territory. It doesn't mean fans don't support the players. Defensive errors led to all three goals, but the last two were saveable. I see nothing wrong with debating that, he'll know it himself. Other teams will too and will put it low and hard in the corners whenever possible. The team is crying out for a holding midfielder to shut up shop before it gets that far. whoever is in the holding midfield role someone will still sometimes make a surging run forward from midfield against us,it happens sometimes! our own chris lines is very good at it.
