Actions speak louder than words – played three conceded five!!!

Not just the competitive games this season either is it though, he was making these glaring mistakes in almost every game in pre-season too. His distribution is piss poor as well, gifted Sunderland’s first in mid week and a number of dead balls flying straight into touch in both league games so far. How long do we roll out the “he’s young, give the lad a chance” excuse? He’s a professional footballer and that sort of mistake made today is the sort you make as a youth and quickly learn from it. Thankfully we were 3-0 up after a relatively impressive performance, but we won’t be afforded that luxury all season and he’s going to cost us.

I like how every goal is a keepers mistake, whereas last season it must have been divine intervention as the over rated keeper who let them is deified on here ?
Reading Les ETC above I have to laugh, Butler ignored you and we got promoted .It must hurt being so wrong, you’re now digging again.
He’s building a team and our keeper is young and learning, Only a week or two ago when we signed Rory he was seen as not good enough then so why would he be now, reading comments above don’t match that narrative. Make your minds up
This is a team being built we cannot buy one off the shelf, therefore inexperienced players are learning on the job, we have to accept that.I’ll be judging Butler at the end of next season if we haven’t improved. From what I saw yesterday we have1 user thanked author for this post.
Isn’t Rory carrying a thigh injury?
He was but I heard he dropped it.

In so many ways that was a super performance yesterday. So many improvements showing through from last season’s play.
Better positioning; stealing ball well; heavier and cleaner tackles; better passing; getting best out of defenders; more effective attacking; not dropping straight back to the edge of the box as soon as Woking moved forward etc, etc.
If Howe can keep putting in performances like that – it’s almost as good as being allowed to field 12 men.1 user thanked author for this post.

In the papers after saturday game it read ” After flapping at corner a calamitous goal was conceded ” – you remember the goal ? Well the keeper they referred to was ALTAY BAYINDIR of Manchester United. He cost them £4.3 million. His Manager Mr Amorim said he was not looking for another keeper.
Just to give a balance.

Credit to him today- a lot more confidence claiming the ball in his area.
Really pleasing to see the reaction he got in front of the main stand at full time too
