Not sure you can argue that though. They may have been sitters, but what's not to say they might have been saved by the keepers.And If we had scored all those sitters we had missed we would be well clear at the top of the league and three howlers wouldn't have even mattered.
Just think that people are missing the bigger picture GK is the least of our problems IMHO.
Same can be said if we had another keeper in goal ok no howlers (Hard to imagine) but what if he hadn't made some of the saves our keepers had made.Not sure you can argue that though. They may have been sitters, but what's not to say they might have been saved by the keepers.
The howlers WERE conceded and besides, were these sitters the actual difference between winning and losing? Between losing and drawing? When did they occur in the games? Were they to put us in the lead, or achieve level pegging?
With the horrendous goalkeeping errors they have cost us all 3 points. Can't remember if it was Forest Green or Newport, but they hadn't even had a sniff of our goal all game and it was a hopeful potshot from some 30 yards out and bang we are 1-0 down and then just couldn't break them down the rest of the game.
It was so definitive.
I know we have problems scoring for sure, but have an excellent defence. Crazy, bonkers errors by the keepers is going to kill us because we don't score many.
No idea why he came for that. For me, Willis had that covered and I am sure he would have got to that ball first.Same can be said if we had another keeper in goal ok no howlers (Hard to imagine) but what if he hadn't made some of the saves our keepers had made.
How much would you have to pay for a keeper that makes no howlers if you can find one?
As for the defence did they do there job tackling the player or clearing the ball before the player was able to benifit from these goalkeeping errors.
On Saturday they got past the whole squad before getting the goal, no one even stuck a foot in, I mean the guy who had the shot was completely unmarked in the middle of the pitch.
Don't get me wrong it was a howler and a shit goal,he miss hit it and was lucky it was on target, but he shouldn't have even had the chance to do it.
Prem goalkeepers making mistakes NeverAnyone see edersons mistake today???
But as I keep saying, all keepers make mistakes. All defenders make mistakes.Prem goalkeepers making mistakes Never
I'm pretty sure if Burge had conceded a goal like Doyle's it would have been called a "Howler"I can’t remember a massive howler in our favour. Maybe McNulty against Grimsby But it seems that we’ve lost more points from our ineptute than we’ve gained from other team’s being bad. Capitalising on mistakes is what league two is what it’s all about in this league and it doesn’t seem like we’re doing that
Go back and watch all of our goals. Lots of keeper errors especially positioning.I have seen 24 other keepers in this league who are better. And in those matches haven’t seen an opposition make a howler.
But just 1 more goal scored an we would be in a playoff positionNot so sure.
There are three games highlighted above. 3 howlers, 3, 1-0 defeats. Without those that would have equated to 3 points more.
3 points more would put us in 3rd place and in the automatic positions and not 8th place outside the playoffs.
And as someone said last night, it's not just a mistake like that IN the playoffs, what happens if it happens if we need a point for promotion, or to get IN the playoffs?
Howlers like this, this level of howler, could cost us so very dearly.
There are howlers at both ends. How about all the 'sitters' our so-called strikers missed?Have we gone on to lose?
Not talking about just plain old mistakes. I am talking about absolute howlers such as today and O'Brien's two etc.
Am I right in thinking every time we have conceded an absolute abomination of a goal we have lost?
Not sure you can argue that though. They may have been sitters, but what's not to say they might have been saved by the keepers.

Edersons was a total abominationBut as I keep saying, all keepers make mistakes. All defenders make mistakes.
Could be a dropped cross, a bit of a flap, or a defender giving away a pen or not marking properly.
Bit different from the complete clangers, which are things like letting a shot from 35 yards slip under your body, or a defender playing a suicidal backpass.
You have a defender make two suicidal back passes in succession he will be dropped. Same as a keeper letting two really, really soft goals in.
Think it is all about degrees. There's mistakes and then there are total abominations.
Well yeah, I know that. Perhaps I didn't explain myself very well.you sort of proved your own argument wrong there Otis by saying we have an excellent defence. Surely that tells you exactly where we need to strengthen?
I've been patient with Biamou and would still like to keep him at the club but we need to add a striker(s) in the window.
If we don't I can see us filing to make the play offs.
Which goal was that?Edersons was a total abomination
Well there you go One is a National Goalkeeper playing for one of Europe's top teams, the other plays for Cov!Which goal was that?
I only caught little bits of the game. I think I saw two of Liverpool's goals.
What happened?
And in Edersons defence, he has been absolutely brilliant for them all season. Burge has always been a bit wobbly.
Hmm, still not convinced. Haven't seen the goal, so would need to see it, but the Beeb site says ManCity gave away 'sloppy goals,' whereas on Saturday SSN said the Burge one was a horrendous howler and a calamity.Well there you go One is a National Goalkeeper playing for one of Europe's top teams, the other plays for Cov!
And if you go on their fan forums there are quie a few that Slag him off.
Our problem is that we're seen as a big scalp in a league where teams are happy to sit with 11 men behind the ball, frustrate, foul and time waste for 90 minutes. Gifts like the one Burge presented to Exeter on Saturday are much more costly than a striker missing a goal because it completely changes the game. Burge has previous with this too, I had hoped he'd improved but he seems to be slipping back in to old habits and that wasn't a mistake it was something you'd chastise a 7 year old for, no professional footballer should make plays that bad.
Yeah. Like he had already given up on it.Didn't help them having a building site that wasted a good minute of time every time the ball went over.
There is no need for Burge to even attempt that, it was on Willis right foot as well who could have put his foot through it.

The attempt at the save afterwards was very poor as well.
