    I love how you think my thread is directed at you.
    Anyway. Back to my point. Davies will be our keeper until the end of the season. we can't really change that... like we could change Potts, Hammil, Moncur etc if they underperform. So rather than make him even less confident, lay off him. That is all.

    Yes. Davies has made crucial errors that has cost us far far too many goals this season. We aren't a good enough team to have the luxury of giving teams goal headstarts so the man between the sticks has to be changed. Its absolutely nothing personal against Davies who I hope is still here next season after a few months to regroup but at the moment we are in a desperate situation and desperate situations call for desperate measures.

    Encourage how? Baffled as to what you think it can do? He’s been pap for far too long and I don’t see what “encouragement” we can offer to change that.

    Do you think his name should be sung at the match? Or do you mean just on here

    Walton can’t be worse than both other choices. If he is, an alternative career beckons.

    I mean lay off him. Between now and the end of the season. What else do people want? To slag off a player to make him better? Will that work?

    Errrmmmm.....I don't and never gave any indication it was. Did you not quote my post telling me not to get a season ticket? You're all over the place tonight.

    Why can't we though?
    Jack Walton is a professional footballers, signed to a professional contract with a championship football team. In 3 weeks he will be 20 years old. Nick Townsend made his debut for us at 20. Adam Davies was 21 when he signed for us.

    Just to be clear. My thread, about Adam Davies has absolutely nothing to do with you, your ego or your negativity. Goodnight.

    As I said - all over the place. You started a thread inviting opinions about Adam Davies. I gave mine. End of.

    I’m saying it matters not if we do or don’t say owt on here - it won’t stop him from regular blunders costing us games and points.

    No but your post which quoted him and commented directly to him, the post which he replied referencing, was indeed aimed at him. It wasn't his ego which imagined it, it was simply aimed at him.

    Err NO why should we stop this so called hate club against Davies, as some fans call it ?.
    Ad is garbage these days and hes cost us so many points this season, for not making what used to be regular saves by his old standards.
    Do the stats lie when they tell us that the opposition are having a few proper shots on target, and they are still scoring with them and winning with them after he and Townsend have flapped and totally missed the bus etc.

    Agree MT. Trouble is, we are doing it most games and they're not learning. You have get closer to your
    opponent and not let them sidestep and get the shot away. One of the basic rules you're taught as a kid.
    As for Davies. His confidence is absolutely shot, so our defenders should be trying to protect him more
    than they are doing.

    He had TWO shots to contend with. He’s hardly overworked at that is he?!

    True. He couldn't do much about their first goal, but it was really poor of Yiadom to give
    their scorer the room to get his shot away. He then made a good stop to deny Brownhill
    at the Ponte Road end. For their equaliser, looks like Brownhill just headed it into the danger
    area and Davies was too far off his line and consequently all he could do was "flap" at it.
    Knowing of these shortcomings, what I meant was that in the remaining games, our defenders
    have got to stop their opponents getting shots on goal, because as we've seen, unfortunately
    at this present time, our "keepers" can't be trusted to keep them out.

    Rarely I say this kind of keyboard warrior s**t....but you really would be better staying away. It seems a while since you've been deliberately winding people up but this does seem like it the stuff you used to do regularly .

    Very disappointing from you...I've read your posts over the years and rarely have need to criticise, you rarely used words like garbage in relation to the lad's who turn out...Davies might not be the greatest keeper, but he wasn't at fault today...garbage is out of order IMO.
