Question about the Cardiff match

[HectorWeso]

pffrt all keepers are completely hopeless. I'd put Matt Smith in there. He's likely to do as much as he would up front.

[Arthur]

BUT flapped at one cross, just about getting fingers to it but not looking convincing...

Are you referring to the dangerously dipping cross (a corner, if I recall) in the first-half that he came off his line for and stretched to push the ball away to an empty space beyond the back post? If this is the instance you mean, I'd say that was a decent bit of goalkeeping.

[davew]

He didn't have much to do and can't be blamed for the goal, he is (on past performances) a good enough Championship keeper, but his kicking leaves a lot to desire, perhaps we could play him up front?

[epsomraver]

Feels like I am alone in this, but I feel worried with Button in goal, I don't so much with Betts.

I dont think your alone Jamie, many have said the same as you. I do prefer Button myself but it is a close call.

Both "on form" are good shot stoppers, both "on form" have good reactions, Button is better than Betts at commanding his area when on form. If Betts gets a commanding presence and takes control in the box there will be very little or nothing between them, Flowers was good at that himself so I am very hopeful for Betts.

Goalkeepers generally only roate in cup games, which is understandable for me, so even when out of form you generally stick with a keeper and let him work his way through so the understanding with the defence stays the same so to speak, I say generally because high profile signings that are keepers get more attention and then they get dropped, take the liverpool situation for example.

Never seen Button save a penalty or do a really good save, I have with Betts though, says it all for me

Not disagreeing with you Epsom, although penalty saves are, for me at least, not something I feel a keeper should be judged upon, they should be scored and if missed it's down to the person asking them, otherwise we have some world class keepers who play aginast us.

It should be noted though that Button has kept more clean sheets this season than we ave I the previous two combined.

For me it is good that we have two decent keepers who can push each other

those clean sheets are also down to a much better defence. Was it ipswich who didn't register one shot on goal the other week? That can't be credited to good goal keeping

thanks, y'all

He saved one at home against Birmingham

[Chutney]

We have conceded from weak efforts with button in goal, his shot stopping leaves a lot to be desired and he has cost us points. I would go with betts.

After seeing Button away at Wolves and Betts at Cardiff, I'd go Betts every day.

The Wolves game was one of the worst goalkeeping performance I've seen live. Felt a lot more secure with Betts in goal, though Cardiff were that bad, I'd have probably looked secure.

Would like to see him given a run of games that's for sure
