At his best with Taylor? He was only ever any good with Taylor (and not even that at Brighton)!

Indeed.. it would have been a draw if it wasn't for the mistake. But we lost instead

0-0 isn’t a defeat. It would go to extra time.
To win a game, players need to score at least one goal. None of our players did that.

So you agree. We lost the game due to Steele's error. It would have been a draw otherwise

Anyway the point is, that was a defining week of our season and RDZ chose Steele in all three games. It was a dreadful decision. And I'm a big fan of RDZ, but he has to take the flak for that

One of the many reasons why we lost the game was Steele's error. Poor defending at the start, poor passing and shooting throughout the game (including Steele's miss in injury time!!) also contributed to us going out.
But without turning back time, we don't know what the score would have been had Bart played instead. We might have lost 2-0!
Btw, I am firmly in the Bart no 1 camp, and think RdZ should play him all the time. I just don't like the scapegoating of players. Otherwise, Dunk shouldn't be playing because he cost us the game against Roma.

This is all fair and I don't disagree at all. Steele isn't the worst keeper in the world. I just think that decision was probably the worst RDZ has made at Brighton. It was an absolute monster week and he didn't play our best team. I can't understand his thinking

No, we aren’t a one man team. Stop making Steele a scapegoat.
At the moment we can’t score a goal to save ourselves.

Ok. You can't admit we lost 1-0 to a horrendous goalkeeper error. Let's leave it there
