Was a big big gamble, that paid off immensely
If he was dropped, his confidence would be severely dampened, win or lose
But we won, and he played, slim odds but this I believe gives him a big boost, even though he conceded a bad goal, which keeper didn’t make mistakes, sometimes it went in, sometimes it didn’t
It is “big gamble” that paid off for Julien, I believe he must have spoken to Walsh, preparing him mentally and positively.
This could turn his season around, I hoped he kicks on. Here’s hoping 🤞🏼 |  |

All defences need a keeper that will come and dominate crosses into the box - unfortunately neither of the two can do that.
There is also no dominant centre back either to help them out which puts even more pressure on the keeper.
‘Paid off immensely” is not something I can agree with - I do not think Walsh is experienced enough and certainly hasn’t played regularly at this stage in his career - as has been said a loan season would have helped him but that ship has sailed.
May not be a view many share but I think we should have tried to sign another keeper. |  |

Agree with everything here, apart from the goal, where I felt he was waiting for it to he headed away. I think it got hit into the ground and got some weird topspin on it which confused everyone. |
I get pissed off with every man and his dog blaming Walsh for all the goals conceded.
Take a good look at our back line especially our right hand side Dunne was at fault for the move that started Charltons equaliser to slow as per the Coventry game and Dembele was the weakest link on the pitch not back tracking to cover any overlaps, just look at Saito the ground he covered both in defence and up front it’s been mentioned that Walsh should have had it covered but not with Morrison right in front of him, Morrison never made an attempt to get to the ball it’s the same every game you all need a scapegoat try looking at our very weak right hand side of Dunne and Dembele, that’s an area that needs a major upgrade. |  | | |

We are going to ruin him like we did Lumley if we persist with the passing triangles and don't mix it up a bit. Give the lad a chance. |  |

To be fair the Charlton player could try and hit that ball another thousand times and it wouldn't do that. When he kicked it I was anticipating Mbengue being able to head it away (I'm not blaming Mbengue) but it sailed over his head and at that moment there is no time to reset as a keeper. It is a bit of a freak hit and a freak goal so I can't really blame Walsh. Given the freakish nature of the ball's trajectory I don't think other keepers would have been able to adjust either. |
I was in the School End and the shot was taken right in front of me. Your take is exactly what I thought at the time. A bit of a freak goal, that makes the keeper look bad - but is not really his fault.
Not that it stopped a bloke behind me giving him personal pelters for the remainder of the game - which I am certain Walsh could hear. Just what a young keeper needs as he tries to rebuild confidence. |  | | |

Want Walsh to succeed but Nardi is the better keeper.
Don’t see what the problem is . Pick the better player. |
Well I had a conversation on the way out that Nardi is not liked by the manager due to history back in France. Which is taking things personally to the detriment of the club. | | | |

Kind of weird how stuff like this spreads. Nothing public, Nardi was at Rennes in 2016 and JS wasn't first team manager until 2018.
The likely answer is that they like what they see from Walsh in training and if they think that'll show in games, we'll see. Don't think the Nardi chants from Q/R block will help though | | | |

Yes disappointing the Nardi chants as this will not do Walsh's confidence much good. Would prefer Nardi as 1st choice as Walsh was struggling with his distribution yesterday and does look nervous, thought he was caught out on Charlton's goal with his positioning, but maybe a win under our belt may help him. |  | | |

Really frustrating. I don't think he's quite ready, he could have really done with having had a decent run out on loan before throwing him in at the deep end. But we're where we are with it and chanting for Nardi isn't going to help. |  | | |

Takling away the goal kick routine helped him a lot and eased the pressue on him.
Thought he did Ok yesterday and wasn't helped by Mbengue jumping in front of him and missing the ball so he was unsighted |  | | |

Heard this exact same conversation queuing at the bar in the Crown yesterday .

Yep probably but Walsh seems a bit less confident than Nardi. Keepers always get the blame a lot is to do with the players in front of them | | | |

Someone has seen their dates vaguely line up at Rennes about a decade ago and said it on Twitter and it’s become a thing. It might be true but it’s pure hypothesis. | | | |

I agree, bosh. |
+1 for not being Walsh’s direct fault.
It looks like Mbengue moved to jump and head it and either realised he would not reach it or thought he could let it go as it was going wide. I think his jump put off Walsh who then set himself only to then see it bounce inside the post. Horrible but fluke goal.
The frustration about his kicking is that the way the team set up over by the sideline is high risk low reward. A number of times in the first half I saw Jimmy waving all the players over towards him but then he gets out jumped or put off under pressure and he does not head Walsh’s kick. Where I think Walsh does need to get better is those clearances under pressure and working on kicking further or more accurately and not invite the pressure straight back on.
The club have asked for patience with our young players as they gain experience and find their way but the GK position where sympathy runs thin very quickly. |  |

100% agree.
Weren’t much he could do about most of last Saturday .
However, he can do the simple things well to help himself , like catch basic crosses - he fumbled 2 yesterday in the first half which were very very easy and his kicking needs to improve .
It’s these things , as much as letting goals which get the crowd on edge .
If he can tidy the little things up then he will gain confidence and his defence and the crowd will have confidence in him . | | | |

Have a look at our 1st goal, Walsh comes to take the ball in the air in the corner of his 18 yd box and releases it quickly. He also punched a ball well clear of his box under pressure so you can't tell me he doesn't command his area. I guarantee that Nardi wouldn't have contemplated doing either of those things. Why not try and be supportive instead of critical. |  |

I would say Walsh is hardly an upgrade on Nardi at all when it comes to coming for crosses either, he's also happy to stick to his line. And as a CB myself, it certainly doesn't breed confidence if you can't be sure your keeper will catch routine crosses that are played straight at him, as Walsh did at least three times yesterday.
I like the guy and want him to do well but he needs to chill/have a loan spell |  |

His through-out in the build-up to the first goal was good. Quick, strong long throw straight to the man in space. Took half the Charlton team out of play.
This is a tricky discussion. I see the reasoning why we want to have Walsh starting, but Nardi is young for a keeper and has plenty of good years ahead.
For me the jury still out on this one, either way. |  | | |

I actually think Walsh is skilled at commanding his area.
He stopped doing it for a couple of games, though, I thought - maybe confidence?
But positive signs again yesterday, I agree. |  |
