Worse keepers than Long?...

[GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 1,761]

Simon Tracey

Theoklitos

....struggling after that

Gloves made of wet soap,  may aswell kept McGovern

If Gunn isnt fit at the weekend, play Reyes

Cant play this guy again

[GodlyOtsemobor 2,317]

He's definitely in some sorry company. 

How on earth anyone at the club thought he was a good option is beyond me. 

 

Should of got Vigiroux from Leighton orient, Burnley snapped him up though.

Better keepers in the Southern League Premier Central. Long is stealing a living.

[cambridgeshire canary 6,725]

I did warn you lot about how Millwall fans said he was the worst keeper they had ever seen and you laughed at me

 

Well you're not laughing now (And neither am I)

[Capt. Pants 4,237]

He looked at fault for at least 2 of the goals. Everything goes through him.

Can't wait for Gunny to be back.

[rock bus 853]

I said at the time we should have signed John Ruddy instead.
Long is a league one goalkeeper at best, mind you so is most the rest of our team

[Branston Pickle 3,660]

That’s just so far wrong- first goal he should probably get to, but can’t be blamed for the other two: the third he made a good initial save for.

And as for quoting Millwall fans, just @&!* off.

I can’t really think of one other than Theodropacross, think he played once and conceded 7!

[Christoph Stiepermann 1,138]

Makes some easy saves look spectacular but he hasn't come close to saving anything beyond what you would expect an average Championship GK to save. He is good enough to be a regular in L1 or a lower Championship team's backup GK but given how many good GK's there are out there and our recent level of being a top Championship/bottom PL team it's more a failure of scouting and recruitment that we've ended up with him as a backup. He should be Millwall or Huddersfield's no.2, not ours. Championship backup GK's are never anything special but we could have and should have done better.

Can't say the Millwall fans didn't warn us. Barring Theoklitus he's the worst I can remember

We're not allowed to listen to millwall fans according to Branston 😜

[Branston Pickle 3,660]

It’s astonishing how easy some of you think it is - he’s got no protection for the third goal after making a decent save. How is it his fault?

If he did make mistakes they were minimal compared with the rest of the side. Arguably he was our MOM.

[Wirecanary 26]

Long cost us goal 1and 3 bang average .. surely our other younger keepers better than him ??

He also thinks he wasn't at fault for the winner, hence why I've ignored that comment from him 😅

Listen to them all you want - I prefer to trust my own judgement and not a kneejerk reaction. The guy I sit next to at FCR is an ex keeper and he reckons Long has done little wrong. I’ll trust him over you lot any day.

Ignore away.  Doesn’t make it wrong.  Why no blame for the non existent defence?

Puzzled by this keeper business, is Reyes not worth a go? Long looks sort of uninspiring. Did Vigiroux transfer from local rivals Leyton Orient? 

[Dean Coneys boots 1,400]

Me. That’s it I think 

[Graham Paddons Beard 2,431]

Millwall fans were right . Guy is a calamity.

So listening to someone else's opinion is trusting your own judgement is it?... 🤔🤔 

 

I trust my judgment as someone who played in goal at local level and I have zero trust in long in goal what so ever.

Who says I didn't put blame on the reaction of the defence too? But any half decent keeper holds that or at least doesn't palm it straight back into the danger zone, just rubbish goalkeeping

Do I trust my judgement and that of an ex pro over Neanderthal Millwall fans? Yes. 100%.

You’re entitled to an opinion, but I’m not, it seems.

Edit: laugh away, it doesn’t make you right

Not everything. Those that don’t go through him tend to bounce off him and go straight to an opposition player.

"third he made a good save for"   Not sure what game you were watching little pickle but that should have been pushed wide or out for a corner not back to their forward.  You seem very defensive about George.  He was pitiful

[Ian 1,129]

Fair to say Krul and Gunn to Gunn and Long is a bigger downgrade than we might have realised.

Genuinely believe we wouldn't be shipping the ****e we are shipping right now if someone with Krul's personality was between the sticks.

Not at all - just in a melee of people finding their new scapegoat, someone trying to suggest mitigation sounds like an apologist.  Imo he hasn’t done that much wrong, and no keeper is perfect. I don’t overly blame him for the third, but I seem alone in that.  I can live with it.

And you don’t need to be condescending.
