Ryan, but it would reassure (and confuse) me to see Stocko between the sticks.

Nikki for me. Another bad game for Ryan could damage him. Give him a couple of u23 games to rebuild his confidence

Sorry, but shipping him out to the U23's after just two first class games is going to do much more to destroy his confidence than another bad game, IMHO.

I would start him and show the lad we have faith in him. A good game could be the confidence boost he needs.

I am pretty sure there was a similar poll like this five games into Stockdales first season with us.

Goalkeepers take a while to settle, to get used to their new defenders and the way they play. It takes a while for them to develope an understanding, know when the goalie is coming and when he is going to stay at home.

Give him the first ten games and then if he is still wobbly, drop him.

That said. A good bigun will always beat a good shortun in my book.

What more can Maenpaa do? He made a crucial point blank save tonight to preserve our one goal lead, he's never let us down and the defence know him better than Ryan. This is a genuine problem for Hughton.

Ryan.

If we ditch every player who makes a few mistakes this season we'll struggle to fill the starting line up by the spring.
