    I love O'Donnell and no way would I look at replacing him, however mistakes in games such as Blackpool, Luton, Rochdale just to name a few off the top of my head have cost us.

    At the end of the day he's a L1 goalie, he's not going to be perfect.

    O'Connor makes more mistakes as does our other centre backs.

    O'Donnell is doing fine. It's the 4 in front of him that's the problem

    I suspect O'Donnells confidence is directly connected to the lack of ability in our defence.They all need to improve greatly.

    This is the third tier. I'd argue O'Donnell is one of the better keepers in the league and ask, who would do a better job?

    O'Donnell is okay. I don't think hes as good as Doyle, but he's okay for this level. not his fault we're conceding.

    I think he's better than Doyle personally, not that Doyle was bad but I have much more confidence in O'Donnell.

    O'Donnell has produced some of the best saves I've seen in some time.

    It's always hard to compare keepers with different levels of input.

    O'Donnell has so much to do, he's bound to look handy at times.

    If he had naff all to do for 89 minutes, would he still be reliable?

    Anyway, he's better than Doyle IMHO, different calibre of keeper.

    O’Donnell made some great saves yesterday, most importantly at 0-0 and 1-0. Despite a couple of blunders this season, he’s a great keeper at this level.

    Good that Wilson got a full game mid week as we saw he had enough to step in if O'Donnell gets injured.

    Really? Thought it was a bit of a ‘meh’ performance. Lobbed in no mans land for free kick and had no chance with second. But didn’t really have a good game though, for all he made a good late block in second half. O’Donnell’s place doesn’t look under any threat.

    He's not O'Donnels standard but he was an unknown quantity prior to Peterborough game. He did make some decent saves including a penalty.In any event,he will of benefited from the experience.

    True. He was better than Raeder and Sattelmaier anyway!
