It was unfair to Jed, who must have felt the passion of the crowd behind him and must have felt under a lot of pressure. It was unfair to the fans and, in a way it was unfair to Ruddy, who seems to be revelling in it all nowadays and did not need resting. I am more angry about yesterday than I have been about a game for as long as I can remember, because I feel we gave it away big time. Myself and my messiah were not on the same wavelength yesterday.

The Great Drinkell 50 Posted February 19, 2012 Agree 100% Braodstairs still angry today - this is no slant on Jed who i''m convinced will be a very very good goalkeeper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Aggy 755 Posted February 19, 2012 He played in the previous round at West Brom and was raved about. Can see no reason why such a prospect shouldn''t be given a go in this sort of fixture. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

[/quote] I agree with every comment you have made! Such a shame. I paid good money to take my 6 year old who loves Grant Holt - now he cannot understand why he didn''t even get to see his hero. "But WHY Dad? If Grant Holt plays for Norwich City WHY wasn''t he there?"... Kids don''t understand why someone decides that another person needs ''a rest'' do they?

GJP 79 Posted February 19, 2012 Not tall enough. Suspect Ruddy might have kept out the first goal which went in over Steer''s head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canary_bird 0 Posted February 19, 2012 According to canaries.co.uk, he''s 6ft - certainly doesn''t look anywhere near as tall as either Ruddy or Rudd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
I am a Banana 0 Posted February 19, 2012 Remember though that Ruddy is very big and stocky unlike Steer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The overall message is complimentary towards the kid. It is debateable as to whether Ruddy would have stood a better chance with their first goal in any case. I thgink not. The essence of this post, for me, is that PL sent out the wrong message by picking a rookie ''keeper. To his own side, to Leicester City and to the fans. To say that he was picked because of his performance against WBA fails to ring a bell with me. I wasn''t fussy over that game. Yesterday''s game was a round forward and we had, in the meantime, picked up that crucial six points in the League. It was a completely different scenario, played out appallingly in front of 25, 000 disappointed fans (x £25 per person.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Largey24 0 Posted February 19, 2012 Are people actually criticising Jed Steers performance yesterday? Seriously?Get a grip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grantroederdisaster 0 Posted February 19, 2012 Not tall enough is what I thought! I hope the boy Steer comes through but his presence in the team sent out the wrong message as well as Holt not playing! I also think Steers inclusion weakened our defence and we looked dodgy defending corners which led to Leicesters goal! Constructive critiscism nothing more before all the "you can''t slag him cause hes only young" police come out but ultimately yesterdays performance and the stench of half heartedness was hard to take!
