Bread Jones

[Shaggy]

Every time the ball goes near him I expect a mistake, but he has far, far exceeded my expectations and it's only fair that I hold my hands up. I still don't rate him, but I think he's improved since he joined us. Working with Pepe every day can't do him any harm, and in this run lately he's been a credit to himself. For me Pepe still comes straight back in when he's fit - it's not even a debate IMO - but well done Brad, I didn't think he had it in him.

I think he has done very well in the absence of Reina. Good backup goalkeeper to have.

[Lee]

His shot stopping has been very good.

He doesn't seem to command the area from my perception though, does anyone else feel that?

Also kudos to Reina being there yesterday support the team.

No issue at all with his shot stopping and he's a much better keeper now than when he was at Boro.

I agree that he doesn't seem to command his area all that well, it's good to see him coming for crosses and some of his punching has been fine even though he's cost us a couple of goals. Also wonder how much faith our defence have in him. Difficult coming into a team with no holding midfielder and a defence that changes every week.

I'd personally keep him in for Wigan and the next EL game. If anything, to push Reina a little. The lack of competition must make Reina slack a little. Even if subconsciously.

Reina is the better keeper. Yet he hasn't performed anywhere near his best for ages. He's been leaking goals galore for nigh on two seasons. Make him earn his place and hopefully we'll have the old Reina back before long.

I'd keep Brad in until we're beaten. If that takes us to May, we'll all be happy.

I know bless him, must be hard on all that money he's on to travel down to London for the weekend and watch a free football match.

Kudos indeed.

Plenty of players wouldn't be there.

And it is not just the being their, he was also in with the players in the tunnel pre-game encouraging them.

London is a long way for a match he could have seen on TV.

Aye, I'm exactly the same, even suggested playing Gulacsi ahead of him.

Fair play to him though, some important saves for us. Still worried about his distribution, but at least he knows his limitations and launches it when under pressure rather than taking the riskier option and getting caught out.

Great signing from Roy. (Joke obviously)

It was a joke mate.

Ha ha, you know.

[CJ]

he has done far better than i thought he would.

agree with the making saves bit Pepe has not made many saves in the last couple of years.

Pepe has to come back in but there is no harm in making him work hard for it.

[Gibbo]

We should play invisiDoni, you know just in case he's really good too.

I think Jones deserves to keep his place for now, throwing him out straight away would do his built up confidence no good.

The Torres shot he saved yeaterday, I think Reina might have let in.

Felt worried every time they attacked but he has done well every time. And I dont think Reina would have saved it.

Reina's been poor getting down low and close to his body, it's a weakness that I'm sure other teams will be thinking of exploiting
