phillo added 14:38 - Sep 26 Is Mick being fair to Bart ? Start of season he said nothing between them so when Bart only lost his place in tragic circumstances - and not performance reasons - surely he should have gone straight back in ?. When he then did get back in on Wednesday - & was excellent - he then gets dropped straight away. Leave aside that most think he is the better keeper - Mick maybe doesn't agree & genuinely has Gerks as his no. 1 (which means his view has changed in 6 weeks!) - surely this is not honouring what he previously said !

Westy added 17:48 - Sep 26 Gerken made some good saves today, but there is no doubt that Bart is the better keeper.
