Is Ryan on Twitter? How long before he gives it up like David did?

Ryan should be dropped for his poor performances.

Performance. Singular.
For the one spill against Leicester, and he deserves to be dropped for that ?
He was decent against City, I dont think he could have done much really with the Dunk own goal.

I'm saving private Ryan (see what I did there?) That's not to say I don't have my concerns, but he must be given more of a chance than two games.

I reckon give him the first TEN minutes on Saturday and if there is NO improvement , we could do a poll on NSC to decide, and then PULL him off if that's what we decide and bring on the BIG Finn

I recall Stockdale's lapses in his first season with us and the "he's not good enough brigade". Yet he turned himself around and gave us two amazing seasons between the sticks. Part of the reason was forging an understanding with his centre backs. Leave Ryan with Ben Roberts and give him at least another six games.

I still don't understand the reasoning for letting Stockdale go when we have just been promoted. Logic would say that when you make the step up, especially to the Prem, it would be essential to keep the back five continuity as much as possible. We had a proven and meanest defense record in all the leagues and now the back five have to forge new relationships and a different style of playing. Against big strikers Ryan doesn't stand a chance coming out and collecting the ball so Duffy and Dunk have to adjust and compensate for this.
Even if Stockdale had to go, to me it would have made sense to have given the job to Maenpaa, because he clearly fits in with the team, and brought Ryan in as the No 2 if we rated Ryan as we seem to do. I am sure Ryan will be fine with a good run of games but it seems like a gamble the way we have played it on a couple of levels; Letting Stockdale go and not giving the jersey to Maenpaa.
I am not blaming Ryan for the defeats, and losing 0-4 to two of the best teams in the Prem is probably about right, but we are lacking confidence because it's all new, and there is a desire for the team to not let Ryan down, thus a cautious style of playing comes to the surface.

Really can't decide with limited viewing if somehow we have managed to spunk £5 million on a lemon or Ryan is in fact a top keeper , if he is then sorry i'm not convinced , on the other hand Niki Maenpaa who iv'e seen play on many occasions has done all that can be required to get a shot as 1st choice , for me he is a much better all round goalkeeper in all areas , comparing the two , heard people saying last nights save was not a save rather the ball just hit him , well that theory is just bollox , it was one of the best saves iv'e seen by a Brighton keeper , magnificent reactions , so to the question , it's a toughy but i think i would give Nikki a chance if it were up to me , it isn't and no doubt Ryan will start but i think he needs to massively up his all round game .

Leicester's second goal did make him look short and if Warren Aspinall was concerned we have to be a little bit too. I agree that he needs more games but I would feel more confident with Maenpaa in goal.
Muirphy was key for their first goal. He couldn't cross the ball ln because he was closed down but he still tried to, and gave it away, when he could have easliy won a corner instead.
NO NO NO we must have success NOW!

Moseley every time. Played at the highest level against the best strikers at that level. Legend. This doesn't really answer the question, though, does it ?

Let's hope that Ryan sees this poll and it cheers him up a bit.
