Drop Walsh on 20:58 - Aug 23 by Padulas_Shampoo

Don't want to load up on the lad as it's not his fault he's being picked nor that he hasn't had any consistent game time for several years before being thrust in to the shirt...

But just as a reminder, he's now played 5 first team games this year. In those 5 he's conceded 16 goals, including 6 at Leicester and 7 at Coventry. Quite remarkable.

If Nardi isn't good enough we better add a GK to the desperation list of signings before the window closes.

I'd also add I don't believe he's had even close the right preparation for the role he's being expected to play. He's played 10 professional league games in his career before being handed the hardest job in the Championship. It beggars belief how that's been allowed to happen. A failing on the clubs part.

Just seen the goals. I only really thought their 6th goal he could have done better, the rest for me are firmly oon the defence / team ahead of him. The last one maybe also, but it was a good strike.

I think whether you play him again, if the manager still has faith in him, depends on if you think he would be btter off mentally with a game off then coming back in, or going straight back in. If he's our No1, I think you have to play him next game.

I think we should have started with Nardi, but if you've made the choice to make Walsh number 1, I think you have to stick with him unless there are absolute clangers every game.

I remember when we had Ingram in at the start of one season, maybe with Mclaren I can't remember now, and we tried to pass it out, which he definitely could not do, the crowd players, everyone were nervous all the time - I've not been at the games so not sure if this is like that where we definitely needed to change the keeper or style of play.

Because they're asking him to be a regular league goalkeeper, not a sporadic cup one.

Ingram played the following game after the 7-1 humping at West Brom. We lost 3-0 at home to Bristol City though...

This is not aimed at you Connell, as I actually agree with the 'cruel' element of your argument. But to blame Walsh for today's slaughtering is so pathetically predictable and lazy. The fact that Coventry scored 5 from 5 in the first half is testament to the complete lack of cover in front of him. Kelleher is a top quality keeper, but rarely keeps a clean sheet for the RoI or indeed last week for Brentford. Just 10 days ago, Nardi let in 3 goals against a Div 1 reserve team in 45 mins (less actually) - and THEY WERE ALL HIS FAULT. Nardi is not the solution, a better question is can we recall Murphy-Cooper from his season long loan?
So, yes I do agree that Walsh should be taken out of the firing line, unless we are going to dispense with these short kick-outs nonsense. McClaren tried something similar with predictable (actually identical V West Brom) results. Ingham and Kakay never really recovered from that and there is a real danger that Walsh could be destroyed by this. But blaming him today (except as part of a collective shit-show) is nonsense.

Only if a recall clause was put in the loan deal and if it was it can only be in an active transfer window.

For all those shouting to drop Walsh at least watch the highlights. He's not to blame for any of the goals. He's completely let down by everyone in front of him at least 7 times. I watched the pre-season Bould led training session and got very concerned that they were totally baffled by everything he was saying. I have had a lot of time for Bould but no reason to drop Walsh. The clangers were in front of him in green and white hoops.

Never knowingly right.

I'm not blaming he , I actually feel sorry for the lad, if he ships more goals against Charlton ( his fault or not ) it could destroy him ...so I just think it's kinda of cruel to play him as our crowd when they turn can get spiteful.

I'd argue that there were several in there that a more polished keeper could/would have stopped even if they weren't "his fault". He's a young lad and he's learning still which is understandable but it's a worrying trend.

Some of it could be that he's not organizing the defence in front of him either but I'd argue that Cook should be stepping up for taking control of that.

Nardi s face today.

He has been dropped for no reason other than he is 31 and Walsh is 23

Nardi was decent for us last season but Nourry has f'd that one up. Nardi will want to leave QPR as soon as he can.

And also they have destroyed any chances that Walsh can develop here also.

Nourry has created a situation where both our goalkeepers would prefer to play for another club.

Well-done Christian, You really are a very clever man !!!!

It obviously has to be this difficult.

1. Drop Walsh: Not his fault we lost the game, although he didn't actually make any saves and at the end of the day is being picked because he is Boss Baby's favourite.

2. Play Nardi: Not at the same level as Julio but didn't justify being made the number 2!

What to do? There really is no answer, and I'm convinced that Saturday's result will bear this out. It's a no win, which will, ironically, be the result of the game.

I'd love to have Seamen come back.

For those who watched the game and not the highlights, Walsh is indeed responsible for a number of the goals

Take the second and third goals which are caused by dispossession in our defensive half

If you go back far enough you will seee Walsh holding on to ball way too long and making the pass out of the back to a defender under pressure. That indecision and slowness of thought invited Coventry’s press and started the cascade that led to the turnovers

In reality we shouldn’t be playing out the back w this keeper, so perhaps it’s harsh to blame Walsh. But if we play this style nardi is the guy

Two separate points
-if idea was to start Walsh this year why wasn’t he sent out on loan and given some experience. At 24 he has almost no game time under his belt
-it’s actually a disgrace that we made nardi play in Plymouth. Guy has been a solid pro for us and we make him the chaperone for the kids? Why disrespect him like that?

We do need to start Nardi now.
I don’t think Walsh is to blame but we just lost 7-1, it’s not about worrying about peoples feelings right now.
We need a rock solid line up against Charlton, and that starts with the keeper.
If Nardi isn’t trusted by management, then we need to buy someone else. Walsh is what he is - a developing keeper - he needs a loan to league one to play 46 games.

Stephan has been told not to play Nardi by the club. He’s out of contract next summer and the club want money for him before the transfer window closes. Walsh is on a long contract so want to increase his value by playing him more. Unfortunately as we are witnessing it’s to the detriment of the side. It’s further evidence of the influence of Nourry on influencing who plays or doesn’t. Stephan needs to grow a pair and make his own decisions.

I think it's pretty fcking clear that playing walsh more right now is not in fact increasing his value
