Our new loanee goalie , for me hasn’t been the £5.5 million offered upgrade & as again yesterday, showed poor judgement & blotted what was a fantastic day/result .

We need to sell or release Wilson so we stop people pining over a below average keeper.

Rushworth has made a couple of errors but if you can’t see the confidence he inspires in the defence then you’re blind. He’ll come good and this post will look stupid.

The mistakes rushworth makes are experience related not fundamental goalkeeping ones like with Collins and Wilson, especially yesterday which was all down to poor decision making. He will only snuff those kind of things out by playing (and even then will probably get some things wrong).

He is a good keeper. Again with the goal yesterday as well multiple things we could have done better. Kitching could have not tried to go and get revenge for Bobby and take three swipes at a player for a free kick in a stupid area for one.

Wilson has consistently proven he is not of the required level. Rushworth has to have time to settle in but I don’t doubt when he does he will be a very good keeper.

One of the errors Robins made last season was constantly chopping and changing keepers to the point no one had confidence and none had any relationship with the back 4

It’s Rushworth obviously. He’s only been in the door 5 minutes and already looks a decent keeper. He’s made a few errors yes, but he’s new here and other than the friendly, none of them have been glaringly obvious errors and are up for debate.

Looks a bit suspect coming for crosses but there's way id be considering dropping him at this stage, he'll iron the mistakes out soon enough. If he doesn't we're in danger of becoming a graveyard for keepers!

Although Rushworth had made a few errors, he hasn't played a lot of first team football over the last year due to injury. So there's bound to be some rustiness.

Wilson from what I've seen. We've conceded 4 pretty soft goals in two games. That isn't good but our goals will mean it goes under the radar for now. Rushworth might well improve given time but can we afford the likely ups and downs if we're pushing for promotion? I believe all of the best teams are built around a really good keeper. We needed a backup keeper for the season but a loan means you have to play them, especially in that position.

For the amount of games Wilson has played, I think his “mistakes” have been really few. Got to be a handful at most. He’s stepped up and delivered every time he’s been asked to IMO.

BUT he seems happy enough being a squad player and sometimes it’s just worth having someone that doesn’t rock the boat when they’re not playing.

He’s around 10 years younger than Wilson and has already made more career appearances, which says it all.

Rushworth just needs to work on his concentration which will come with experience and practice.

He's far far better than Wilson who is basically a lower league career back up

To answer the thread title, both are suspect at coming for crosses, but Rush is young and will get better where as Wilson, well…….

Yep. Jury's out on Rushworth yet for me. But he's a new keeper just like Dovin was last year. Wilson is more than adequate back up IMO. Do not really get the hate for him on here, not the obsession with his career before he came here about five years ago now...

He doesn't look anything like a £5million keeper yet.

Had 2 poor games out of 3 so far.
Im not saying we should drop him, but theres plenty of work to do with him.

It's obviously Rushworth by a long way, but he does look a bit dodgy on crosses.

Hopefully just a confidence thing.

I'd like to think he's (Rushworth) learned an incredible lot about himself (if that wasn't already apparent?) from just these three games already.
Let's hope he puts it to rights because so far nothing has hindered what has otherwise been a spectacular start for us.

I love threads like this because they're always worth a few laughs

Rushworth has let a few goals in but it's not as bad as reality. Nobody would be saving that free kick at Derby. Would have saved the weak penalty if he guessed the other way. The other goal was a well taken shot.

Distribution can split a defence in half. Comes out to catch the ball instead of trying to punch it. Having a GK that the defence can hear and trust is massive.

I remember somebody commenting preseason on just how loud Wilson was. Monaco.

What hate ffs????

People pay their money and are entitled to their opinion, if that opinion doesn't align with yours, then it doesn't make it hate.
It just makes it a differing opinion.

Rushworth has been a bit ropey but it's still plain to see he's better than Wilson and collins

Why he went walkabout for their goal was a strange error of judgement. But had a good game apart from that.

No way should he be dropped. We need to keep the keeper and back four as consistent as possible. The only way to build a strong defence.

You’re genuinely thick as shit if you think Wilson has a patch on Rushworth.

The bigger worry about the goal yesterday than him being in the wrong position was the setup for the freekick. It looked all wrong and that is the keeper's responsibility. Obviously Brighton see a player there and hopefully he will improve, but there will be mistakes along the way, especially given he's missed a season. He's far from the finished article at this point.

I've no idea if our coaching setup is any good but Dovin improved quickly last year after a very shaky start.

He has a lot of qualities. But like most loans he is still learning, just as Dovin is. Even very experienced keepers make mistakes.

Some fans seem to expect players to put in the perfect performance every game.

Our performance yesterday was very good. We didn't let QPR settle and totally disrupted them. In possession our movent and passing was slick and our finishing clinical. Every player played well and the subs came on and played a part. We kept our momentum going all game despite the game being as good as over at HT.

Just a wonderful weekend 7-1 and the club now has the CBS as it's own.

People seem to need to make out he isn't much of an upgrade to what we've already had. But he's made catches/saves/started attacks the other 2 wouldn't and hasn't let a goal in that made you think either one of them would have saved it.

Maybe it's because the normal targets are doing well.

I'd much rather a young keeper makes a mistake when it doesn't affect the result. He'll hopefully learn from it.
