First off he’s saved our bacon a lot this season. Saves like his one on one block away at spurs for example - huge. But he’s still a bit unpredictable which I just don’t think can give his back line much confidence.
Thought for their first goal he would be criticised if he hadn’t come out, but as it was it looked like he rushed out quickly and was stranded (but like away to City).
Is he a better shot stopper than Walton? I think 100% yes, especially 1v1. But surely Walton has to be banging McKennas door down asking when he gets a chance? Maybe Walton is too nice and too quiet to be doing that?
For what it’s worth, I don’t think we will drop him but I do think another keeper capable of challenging to be number one will be signed in Jan. I thought the plan was always to sign two keepers over the summer anyway? |  | | |  |

Why has he started punching instead of catching? |
I think he suffers with confidence issues on his own ability , bit of a panicking type comes to mind . |  | | |

That was my argument earlier in the season and I got laughed out the room.
I said that there is a trade off between getting a new keeper in and the time it will take for said keeper to build a relationship with his team-mates in a season where every point is going to count. It always takes time to build that up and he is doing that literally in a place where we have no margin for error.
I think Muric is a slightly better keeper than Hladky, in particular when it comes to commanding his area, but he's weaker with his feet and distribution is nowhere near on the same level and he doesn't have the understanding and the confidence of the defenders.
We need better than both Hladky and Muric really, but I too have a niggly feeling that we may have ended up better in Hladky in the short term as there wouldn't have been that bedding in period that we're seeing with Muric.
Then there is this:

Ouch that’s not a nice stat or record to hold. Although I reckon relegation battling keepers are usually near the top of that list. In fact…. Muric was probably near the top of it last year with Burnley! | | | |

Without going through it all, I’d say he’s cost us more than he’s won us.
Walton must seriously consider why he’s bothering. |  |

Lots of people seem to be ignoring that Walton has played about 95 minutes since April 23 at two leagues below.
Muric is erratic and makes mistakes but it sounded like we had a golden chance at 1-0. No one seems to be screaming to drop Szmodics and Delap.
Muric has made some amazing saves this season.
The debate is vapid imo as if we do drop Muric we are left with an average keeper with little experience at a decent level.
Our ridiculous lack of resilience in midfield and upfront are more concerning to me. |
Just on your point about Smozdics, in fairness he has been dropped and rotated a fair few times already this season. Yes it’s different for a keeper, but he’s not a mainstay like Morsy, Davis etc
I look at Delap slightly differently, as there’s such a gulf in quality between him and his nearest replacement right now (although we have seen Hirst start names too). | | | |

Yeh he did fine but do you expect a material change in our results by changing keepers? [Post edited 8 Dec 2024 17:23]

Yes. If we aren't willing to bring in Walton at this point I'd hope we'd be looking for a better keeper in January. He is the player in the division who has cost their team the most points through individual errors. I'm not sure you can square it any other way other than we would be in a better position with a keeper who is at worst, below average for this league.
But generally we're not quite up to the standard needed. After two decades of being **** and back to back promotions it isn't surprising that we lack strength in depth.
This could change. But I think after 2 seasons of being amazing we need to remember that it took a while for KM to get his League One team ticking and a few January additions may be enough to get us the right side of the line... As it was verses Sheffield Wednesday, and then Leeds. |  |

He's been alright last couple of games.
Guess the problem is we signed him off the back of a goalkeeper.com data site and concentrated on the fact he saved more shots than he shouldn't have done which is Great. But even whilst doing that he's history as been to have howlers in his game. Is that something you can atop? If it is wouldn't he have been picked up by one of the top 6?
Think muric is what he is and I guess that's what we like. |  |

His distribution is not great,
So doesn't make him any better than Walton,
Put Walton in |  | | |

I’d argue not a single football fan likes a keeper that might be good with the very good chance they go full tw-t and cost us huge points.
Only time I’ve ever felt I had full confidence is spurs away, look possessed. And maybe that’s his problem. Looks a bit tapped to me. | |
