Stockdale has been costing us all season. He's just not very good.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊

Sorry you're right. Tex's stupid foul led to their first.
what about the times that he has saved us too? he lets a sloppy goal in and everyone is out to get him. Plus it can't be easy being a goal keeper with a defence like ours at the moment. Bruno can't tackle, Greer is too slow and Bennett is more interested in getting forward.

Christian Walton, without a shadow of a doubt. Stockdale has been very poor all season, and a disappointing signing in general.
Today is the straw to break my back.

IMHO Stockdale was badly ar fault for the 1st goal and should have done better for the other 2 but in his defence the defence to day was poor Bruno, Greer Bennett all had poor games as did. Calderon. We will live to rue the fact that we didnt sign a right sided player during January and have to rely on another loan after Tuesday.

I got some shit a few weeks ago for saying "Stockdale, I'm not convinced"

Can't understand the Stockdale apologists. Time for a spell in the ressies, he's cost us more games than I care to remember this season.
Are we talking about the same Stockdale that saved us:-
3 points v Fulham.
3 points v Charlton.
Got us a 4th round FA cup match.
As poor as he was at the start of the season, I was feeling quite positive towards Stockdale, over the last couple of months.
Sure he had a shocking game today, but the team do (and certainly did today) concede as a team.
DS was let down today, and then made that worse himself.
I don't think now is the time to pull him for a 'kid'.
What's the point in scaring Walton by having to play behind Greer.
The whole team need to defend better, before CW gets his abilities and composure tested.

He's hardly going to be shit for 90 minutes Every game is he, get real ffs.
Overall though , taking in every minute he's played, he's been disappointing to say the least.

Arguably at fault at Blackpool. 100% responsible for the 1st goal today. Either come or stay don't change your mind halfway to the ball. He has had some decent games but he has cost us way too many points over the season. Time for a rest.
We have been as mugged at 1 million for him as we were for CMS, neither are worth anywhere near what we paid for them. Unfortunately they are two of our bigger signings.
I'm not doing my usual contrarian for Stockdale's sake.
Without changing those in front and giving them a game or 2 to settle I think it would be madness to draft Walton in now.
Plus as disappointing as DS was, over the last couple of months, he has been one of our better players.
Today he resorted back to the start of the season, pooh happens.
Changing for Tuesday won't help either 'keeper.
In an ideal world we'd see out March with the likes of Walton and Rea, although that would seem increasingly unlikely.

I think Walton should be given time as he is our future and Stockdale just doesn't seem able to make the important saves
For the first Forest goal, nobody seems bothered that Collins was given a completely free header from 8 yards.
Having set off, Stockdale should have kept coming, but I don't think he'd have got there. Had he stayed on his line, and dived for it, it would have LOOKED better, but he still wouldn't have saved it. The ball went in off the post. No keeper was saving it.

Not easy to say. He has to make his mind up though. He was poor and there is no denying it

If you ever want an example of how moronic football fans are, this poll is the perfect example. Stockdale has been one of our best players the last few months and has barely made an error. As Hans Kraay says he probably wouldn't have got to the goal anyway.
Throwing a young goalkeeper in to a relegation battle is not a good idea anyway. I'm hopeful that Hughton has a lot more sense than the stupid fans we seem to have!

What absolute rubbish from a Stockdale apologist. Had he come he MIGHT have saved it. Had he stayed he MIGHT have saved it. Dithering about and not making a decision meant that he couldnt possibly save it. I will give him the benefit of the doubt on the other two but not the first that was a terrible mistake which killed us having taken the lead just before HT.
