I'm amazed that there's people that who are trying to find faults all the time with our players. Players make mistakes sometimes - he's not had any howlers so far and his distribution is a lot better than TK's was. Give him time.
Aye, this.

i blame the opposition for not shooting more and giving Stockdale a chance to prove himself worthy to these doubters
Stockdale has had rotten luck with just about all the goals he's conceded. Sod's law, the majority of them have been placed in just about the most difficult place possible for a keeper to save. That luck will even itself out over the course of the season. IMHO he's a definite asset to the side. apart from anything else, if he hadn't come up for the corner at the end - and got his head to it - each subsequent touch in the added time would have taken a completely different course and Dunk more than likely wouldn't have scored.
People saying he hasnt had to make a save - isnt that therefore down to either -
A) Woeful shooting
B) Decent defending
C) Goals only world-class keepers could have stopped
He hasnt really been tested at the Amex at all, lets be honest. Both of their goals today should have EASILY been prevented by our defence. Those slagging him off simply havent a clue.....
See we have a new 'hate' figure...what's up with you moaners..the ball should have not been lost in that quarter. Stockdale has good distribution ..yes two goals conceeded...only one of them partially his fault...if you make a mistake as a midfielder or a forward you can get away with it...do it when goalkeeping and it is fatal...get behind our players...or do you enjoy destroying their confidence...you are supposed to be (SUPPORTERD!) Man upyou pussies.I wanted to say Stockdale is a waste of space before he even signed but would get the usual thumbs down so didn't bother. We should play Walton as hes no worse than the clowns we have as No 1 and 2.
How many saves has Stockdale made? I mean, yes, cracking save? None!
Kusz was shit in the second half of last season and his distribution was awful, it speaks volumes that he still hasn't signed for another club. You're just looking for a reason to complain.You are aware he has come out and apologised for the first goal today? He could've done better, saying there's no way he could've saved it is nonsense, have seen Kusz save far harder ones than that, unless we're just accepting Stockdale isn't up to Kusz's standard.
This. Looking at the goals he has conceeded i don t think any bar maybe the 1st today would have been saved by anyone else. Todays 1st i put down to him being unsighted.
PIG may well be a better keeper but there is no way on earth that Stockdale looks nervous. He is very calm, his trademark chips over an attacker to his defenders demonstrate that!Thinking along the lines of def not worth the £1.5miliion the club paid.
He looks very nervous and just not with it.
Could possibly end up costing us a lot of silly losses this season.
Kusack was far far better keeper had more about him.
Come back Koosh !!!!!
People criticising surely haven't played themselves at any decent standard as a keeper. Unsighted for sure.

I'm really not. I haven't said Stockdale was shit and I have nothing against him. He hasn't started great but I'll reserve judgment. Kusz WAS undervalued and taken for granted.
It is when all else fails you look to your keeper to make the special saves to get you points.
