Without Murphy we would have lost by three or four yesterday. Are people forgetting the two point blank saves he made?
Murphy is a good standard League 1 goalkeeper.
The issue is he becomes a scapegoat and an easy figure to criticise. His goals against column versus Westwood in the championship stands up well and that in an inferior team.
Other players such as McDonald seem immune from critisiscm by some yet they under perform to a much greater level.
Mcdonald isn't a great player by any stretch but he does have a knack for getting into good positionsDon't necessarily agree with the Cody comment, but definately agree with the Murphy comment!
Thing is with Cody, he is a poacher takes chances (ok, not every game but if he did, he wouldn't be L1, but the prem) he is our joint top goal scorer and last season was our best goal scoring striker!* In the time he was on, he hit the post. Also, he isn't like McG, McG has pace and decent dribbling (and finishing!) and can run at defenders so he immediately looks a better player whereas Cody doesn't + can't do that, doesn't mean he is a BAD player. Last season my mates were slating him!
*That's not including Juke

Have never, ever compared him to Westwood. This is something you have dreamt up.
Having watched Coventry for many years, we have been blessed with a fair few decent keepers. Murphy has a bad attitude in my opinion, constantly criticising the same players, TERRIBLE DISTRIBUTION, not commanding, but is a decent shot stopper.
I support him, every Saturday, but notice that for the team to improve we need a stronger goalkeeper. That is all
PEACE
Hang on... Most have been moaning that he shouts too much, now he doesn't command his area??!!
The game has moved on ,Most goalies don't seem to come for crosses,The way the whole defence are coached now,Zonal marking Etc ,Its all a long way from Oggys days,I don't think westwood was one for coming for crosses either,it seems the line is their territory these days and the defence are responsible for everything else.
