He reminds me of when you are 5 or 6-0 up on Fifa and try to take the piss with your goalie. What on earth was he doing early on when he wasn't under pressure at all but decided to header it out rather than take a step back and catch it?

A different keeper may actually help, I think with Johnson our defence is stronger in terms of players.

I don't think he made a save today, he caught one cross, and got nowhere near a couple more. I'm not sure what Oggy teaches him all week.

He's poor. Seen enough. What I expect of a keeper is for him to command an tell his defence what to do, call for it an claim. He's like a shy school boy at times watching as play goes by. Crosses come in what keepers in league an non league football come out to collect to help their defence. But he's happy to watch. Time for burge to be given his chance, an I seen him in the jtp game where he was a bit rash in his deductions but I'd play him an tolerate his mistakes as he's our academy product. Ideally a experienced keeper would be nice... But burge for #1

I didn't think he was that bad today In His general play, was far more decisive than of late.

There must be a clause in his loan deal that he has to play league games unless injured. Surely that's the only viable reason he's playing? OK, Burge may not fill me with much confidence either but atleast he's ours and atleast equal to what Allsopp is

I don't think Burge is the answer either. Personally, I don't think Allsop is that bad. No, not that good either, but he's certainly not to blame for our run of bad form.

When Cloughie took over at Forest his first signing was Shilton as he said you must build a team from the back starting with a keeper.So until we bring in a decent goalie we're going to struggle.

Nope. That's a combined effort.

By Rupert's definition though Allsopp is a championship keeper as we loaned him from a championship club.

If he is I can't wait to get back to the championship as it will be a doddle to win!

Spine of the team has to be solid, from front to back an we are very very weak in all these areas.

Can only assume they won a lot of games 4-3 and 3-2!

He should never have been beaten for their first goal, so far out and not even struck particularly well. He is one of these keepers who you never really back to make a save. If there's a one v one situation, you may as well get up to go to the bar and not even wait for the net bulge...

I think you're being a bit unfair. It was very well struck and right in the corner, hit early and through a crowd of players.

avid McGoldrick grabs winner for Sky Blues at a wet and windy Matchroom Stadium
Coventry City arrested a run of two consecutive defeats with three points at the Matchroom Stadium thanks to David McGoldrick's ninth goal of the season

The on-loan striker netted the only goal of the game in North East London after six minutes to give Mark Robin's men a deserved win in difficult conditions.


Robins responded to his side's disappointing midweek defeat away to Brentford by ringing five changes to his starting line-up against Orient.


William Edjenguele, Cyrus Christie, James Bailey, Carl Baker and Gary McSheffrey were all welcomed back into the side at the expense of an injured Nathan Cameron, Jordan Clarke, Franck Moussa, Chris Hussey and Callum Ball.


The changes seemed to have the desired effect for City who took the lead with their first real attack after just six minutes.


Carl Baker's effort at goal from the corner of the area was saved but spilled by Orient 'keeper Ryan Allsop, allowing McGoldrick to pick up the loose ball, round the shotstopper and tuck the ball away.

And we should not under estimate the confidence a dominant keeper can bring to your central defenders.

Which is ironic given the number of goals we conceded last season....

Looks like our defence has as much faith in our keeper as I have. Totally undecided whether to come out or not, so finds himself to often in nomans land. There must be better keepers out there looking for work

It's pointless to compare by who let more goals in. Murphy made so many saves. The defence was actually worse last season.

If you compare goalkeepers you should say who made to most saves

Ryan Allsopp is a top bloke, however do I think he is a decent keeper at this level? No. Not decisive enough, does not control his box and always looks to be in a state of two minds

Allsop made 12 championship appearances and 3 cup appearances in 13-14, so presumably Bournemouth had some bad luck with their keepers?

Not a big fan of Alsop but just saw the goals from yesterday and Clarke is comfortably as culpable as him for the 2nd goal. Clarkes concentration will never be good enough to be a professional footballer. He would be released instantly if I was in charge.

Burge looked a bit small and lacked confidence against Exeter, but nothing worse than Alsop who seams weak on crosses and has poor distribution in league games.
