You can’t drop Brown and replace him with basically an U21 goalie in our present position

He should have been dropped ages ago, when Visser was still fit. He does not command his 6 yd box/the pen area and gives me kittens every time a cross comes in - he leaves it for the defenders to win every one... and that is highly unlikely. He often redeems himself with excellent/spectacular saves, but I don't think he has been as consistent and as good as last season. Perhaps replacing him with Visser much earlier, though maybe not on a permanent basis, would have been a much more acceptable decision than replacing him now with a complete, young rookie.

Kewell has just been sacked!!

That will make Tuesday interesting!!

Just win Vale. Sick to backteeth of having to micro analyse every single aspect of our club. Endlessly over and over again in a sea of negativity
Do your jobs players, manager manage the team and sort it out, and stop blaming everything you can on anything but yourself. You came knowing what needed to be done so grow a pair and crack on and do it because at the moment it's all talk and is beyond embarrassing now.
Just win.

Their fans aren’t happy and sounds like they are a right basket case club. Might help us though.

You cannot drop Brown,but come some of these goals are a joke , yes you can and if the players find there is a more vocal keeper behind them who comes out and catches everything that could make all the difference. 

To be honest if we play well our goalie should have nothing do the problem is very rarely we do and too much is expected of them ,play to win play football .

Last 20 play like for 90 home win undoubtedly ,hope the fitness bloke has had them running up hills today ,so they can  last  for 90 mins and do what's expected of them , if like the other 70 mins get ready for non league .

Its win at all costs TIME

For some reason young keepers don't seem to be trusted like outfield players.

We all prefer to see Swan above Robinson yet folk are scared of changing the keeper ?

Why ? Brown has made umpteen errors, Saturday was a calamity again. 

That's probably a legacy of Brown's tenure - where we had so many awful GKs we feel we can only trust the most experienced. It would have been doable had Visser not been injured!

Mills Legge Smith Crookes

Rodney Burgess Conlon Hurst

Cullen Swan

[osprey]

Kewell has just been sacked!! 

They will probably get ‘new manager’ bounce now 🤭

[Wrex]

Dunno how Kewell got the job in the first place

[Santa]

His assistant has been sacked as well.

"An announcement on a replacement will be communicated in due course with no further comment made until then"

Should be fun for the players to turn up tomorrow not knowing who's taking training.
