    You'd like to see us playing out from the back through Chicksen, O'Connor or NKP??

    I think the amount of goals conceded is down to our defence enjoying letting cross come in and shots on target. If a ball is hit from 5 yards in front of you most of the time not even De Gea would save it.

    Can't agree ricc, I never had any confidence in Doyle. Always shat myself anytime a shot with a bit of power went near him.

    Can't say I agree, although Doyle wasn't a bad keeper.

    No more than O'Donnell to be fair, he cost us points at Blackpool and last week at Walsall that I can think of off the top of my head, unfortunately being the last man he will make mistakes, I'm surprised he's done as well as he has this those 4 in-front of him, take Cadiss out and they hardly fill you with confidence.

    I do like o'donnell, he started well even in a poor team early season and did save us from a few hammerings. Having said he has dropped alarmingly with soft goals and not been commanding deal with crosses.
    Swings and roundabouts, has the attributes of a good keeper as we have seen, but no getting away from the fact he was Northamptons keeper last year when they were relegated and pretty certain staring it in the face with us now

    I don't see any need for a different keeper in League Two next season.

    Seriously doubt we'll get a better stopper.

    Sorry Ricc, but this is just a big pile of shite. O’Donnell has kept us in plenty of games this season. Yes, his recent form has been poor, but who can blame him with the quality in front of him.

    To suggest he’s been suspect all season is ridiculous enough, but to suggest Wilson be given a go is ludicrous. And then to top it off, you then add the most stupid statement of all, that fans only rate him because he plays up to them...!

    Get yourself to casualty, because that bang on your head has caused you some serious issues...!

    Have to agree with @BoingBoing@BoingBoing, @Ricc@Ricc, recent criticism of O'Donnell has been largely fair and justified, he has messed up a few times - but over the course of the whole season, he's been one of the best players.

    Thought it was one of Mr Rahic who decided to dispense with his services,

    Wilson away at Macc was quite the sight, looked like a ringer from the crowd had been given the keeper jersey. On that performance alone - trust me it was that bad - I'd have O'Donnell in front of him every single time, no matter how bad his form may be.

    That was my point mate. As good as Doyle was he was known for the 'odd' mistake like O'Donnell is. Solid keepers, good shot stoppers, great clean sheet record but like the majority of keepers in this league and lower know for mistakes - which is why they play at this level.

    Agree. Along with O'Brien and Caddis he's been one of the better players.
