You were not at Morecombe; you admitted this yourself. From memory Cornell saved us from a heavier defeat. Against FGR he played well; you clearly left at half time! Stop sitting on the fence and come out against.

You like to cherry pick which posts of mine you like to try and argue against Evers!

You still very much carry the bizarre notion that unless you have physically been to a game you can't make an opinion on it, even if you have watched the whole match on TV! Pure nonsense. Unfortunately Morecambe was not the only glaring error by Cornell.

Goals down purely down to bad Cornell mistakes last season:

Morecambe (a) - absolutely no need to run out, zero chance of a goal if he stays put
FGR (h) - absolutely no need to run out, made it so easy he more or less gifted the goal where the chance of one was virtually nil
Stevenage (h) - Miss-kick under no pressure led directly to goal
Mansfield (h) - Beat at near post direct from a corner hit with no pace
Macclesfield (h) Came off line needlessly, made it too easy for forward
Port Vale (h) - Came off line, made it easy for forward
Exeter (h) - Pushed an otherwise simple save into the box rather than tipping it over, put in by the attacker

Saves he should have made:

FGR (a) - 35 yarder more or less straight him, got his palm on it, should save every time
Oldham (a) - tipped soft free-kick onto post, rebound put in - should have been a comfortable save
Mansfield (a) - First goal, a fairly weak, angled shot across his body - should save
Mansfield (a) - 3rd soft goal at near post, beat far too easily
Carlisle (a) - 2nd goal - rolled shot from outside the area, should save 8-9/10

Bad goalkeeping where the defence was equally culpable:

Yeovil (h) where he rushed out and made it easy for the attacker to chip him
Tranmere (h) scramble in the box with poor defending all round, but still capped off with an equally bad piece of keeping.

That's 14 goals! Close to 1 every 3 matches, not far off 25% of our goals conceded!

There are plenty of other examples of goals conceded where he arguably/probably could have done better with shots, or where he could/should have been stronger in coming out to punch away/claim free-kicks/corners, not to mention bad mistakes where he got away with it. Sticking to these 14 I'm cutting him some slack.
