Very much so....
It's a fair point but given the pace of the backpass I'm going to go with poor decision making and as a result bad footwork. Just my opinion. As others have said, he has a lot of credits in the bank.

What surprised me was that at the worst Stockdale didnt catch the ball and give away an indirect free kick just in our half for a back pass

I think maybe you should get your glasses and rulebook out before you post again

Fed up with trains. Sick of the rain.
Gutted to drop two points against such a poor side. Stockdale never commands his area enough for me but can't pin the blame for today's disappointment on
him alone. When are referees going to start clamping down on sides that start time wasting against us on the first flamin' half??

Must admit I thought the kick would have been from where Bruno kicked but after reading FIFA Rule 12 I am wrong as it would be where the offense occurred so from where Stockdale caught it, if he did, but none the less still an indrect free kick which would be better than a goal.

Ten men, did I miss something?
I haven't seen the game yet nor did I listen to it on BBC Sussex but I don't think Stockdale was at fault for the last goal. Surely my opinion is as good as some posters on here.
Can usually be philosophical about correct score bets that go awry in injury time but this one hurts big time. It felt like a loss but I'm not going to turn on Stockers. He's done really well so far this season and a great keeper. At least there's another match soon to forget about it.

A request to Bozza.
Can you please rename this the 'Stockdale Hate Club' or SHC for short. Could you also give all these miserable little whingers the SHC badge of honour on their profile so we know who to look for when a goal is conceded.
It would just make life so much easier.

Or just delete the whole thread. God forbid we allow any discussion about how we dropped 2 points today. Get that carpet ready for sweeping under. Nothing went wrong today......move along, nothing to see here. Sh×t happens.

Or just trust in Chris Hughton and stop making Stockers the scapegoat when both goals were clearly down to Bruno and Murphy. Idiots here with agendas.

He knew it too because he then went round the full back into the penalty area to try and redeem himself. Unfortunately, that was probably the first time in the whole match he actually went round the full back!!
As for Stockdale, he made a mistake, as did Bruno. He should have headed the ball away at the very least. However, I am in the camp that thinks he saves more points than he loses and I would challenge his detractors to identify a single goalkeeper that never makes a mistake.
Yes.
A goal like the first we conceded deserves some analysis. Got nothing to do with "trust in Chris" or scapegoating Stockdale.
It was pure slapstick. Which we can relive time after time because they scored from it.

And that was not down to Bruno because...
