True, but normally when a goalkeeper is having a drop in form, drop in confidence or is just having a bad time of it, he is taken out of the firing line and replaced by another capable keeper from within the club. Jonathan Mitchell hasn't been afforded that respite and has had to continue through one or all of those symptoms without any means of escape.
Yes, he hasn't been at the standard expected, I would guess that he has probably realised that himself, JB and his staff have almost definitely realised it but because of the injury to Steve Arnold, they have not had any option to do anything apart from putting an Academy player between the sticks who was born in May 2004!
Rather than continue to pour scorn and criticism on the goalkeeper, have a bit of sympathy and understanding as to the circumstances that have led to the situation that both he and JB were forced into.
You never know, under better circumstances he may prove to be a more than capable goalkeeper at wherever he ends up?
That's a nail on now
Surprised that Coolie has taken the blame route so emphatically - he is normally bit of a gent with genuine understanding of both player and game. Still I suppose relegation got to him as it did me!
