I still stand by what I said, Fletch. I physically remember seeing Bevs hesitate. As Dave (forevertufc) states, and you do too, he leaves his line, and starts coming, then either slowed/stopped, and thats what caused the problem.

99% of the time Bevs has been incredible this season, so I'm not going to get on his back, but that goal yesterday I feel the blame lays partly at his feet. As for the back four, they just got well and truly caught out by the through-ball which is quite disappointing really.

But Bevan hesitates before coming off out? Looking at that image shows the ball is half way between midson and Bevan - but the fact Bevan waits until midson is nearer 6 yards than 12 was the problem.

Ellis is to blame too but it's just the fact Bevan hesitates. It was a great ball through may I add

Can't grumble for the others, really though.
Watch it again then Nick. When the ball is hit he is coming forward off his line. When he sees that its going out right he changes direction. The only way he's going to get to the ball is by taking the player as well (which would result in a penalty/red card) so tries to make himself big. If you want to point a finger at anyone for this goal then Ellis should have been picking up Midson...

He's our best keeper and he should be playing. I'd feel much more confident with him between the sticks than Potter.
Spot on Gulliball.

It's about form not rest. The layoff has certainly affected the rhythm of the whole team. Two games in quick succession has hopefully removed any layoff factors and we can hit the ground running now and knock Carlisle out of the cup.

How does this help... :red: We missed Branston today, I wouldn't of started lathrope/hemmings either.
Having just watched the highlights again, it would be harsh in the extreme to point the finger at Bevs for any of the 4 goals....

Agreed - I've seen Potter twice and he strikes me as being an adequate stand-in should Bevs be injured, but would feel a little nervous if he replaced a fit Bevs

Maybe bevs could do with a rest, but I hope he plays on saturday when i bring my dad down for the Fa Cup. Much rather have Bevs in goal for a match that means something than an (untried first team) keeper.

Dannys a good keeper, he was BSP keeper of the season a few seasons back. Yes i know its the BSP and was a few years a go but the guy is still a good keeper. Maybe bevs could do with a rest. A long christmas period.

If Potter can't get a chance in the team after the howlers Bevan has just dropped then he might as well pack up and go home.

Agree SNW. Bevs has been our saviour on more than one occasion this season. If he was that good all the time, he wouldn't be in league 2!
