I agree to an extent that he gets a harsh deal from the crowd because he replaced Westwood... But a lot of it is deserved.

He rarely comes for crosses, or takes command of a situation. Saturday with that "save" where it just hit him as he was rooted to his line was a prime example of this, and it wasnt just the cross and the save. After it hit him the ball was just bobbling around in the 6 yard area and he just stood there watching it bounce, before casually dropping on the ball.

I also thought he couldve done better for the second goal. It came from a corner, which he conceded by making a simple save look spectacular and puching it round the post rather tham catching it.

His general demeanour is very negative too, always rushing out to blame someone (in fact i would say he was a major factor in Christie and Hussey visibly losing confidence last season), and constantly time wasting when we are drawing (as Scottie says, it's this sort of thing Robins has highlighted - taking the easier/comfortable option rather than trying to win a game)


One-on-One he can be very good, and has made a few vital saves for us, there is no denying that, and I also think he is better than Dunn (or at least Dunns reputation, as whenever I have seen him he has done okay). This doesnt mean i have to like him, or want him to play. I would prefer us to sign a new goalkeeper if Dunn isnt up to it.


It's laughable that someone who listed all his qualities put that he takes a good pen second. Like thats a key quality for a goalkeeper

Surely the fact you even needed to joke about it suggests he hasnt got enough qualities for you to argue in his defence?

I can honestly say there is nothing wrong with Murphy and anyone who suggests there is clearly knows nothing about football.

Ok so he has no faults as a goalkeeper, you would have thought he would have played for better teams than Scunthorpe an Coventry
