for Muric and Godfrey on Sunday?
Edit: Despite the -12 so far, I'm glad I started the thread as I did have the belief that everyone would be saying - even if many grudgingly - yes, particularly Godfrey for Woolfenden. Maybe I should have realised Muric for Walton would be more split. Perhaps what I should have done is add more to the OP when first posting, rather than just leaving it and the question. Lesson learned. [Post edited 18 Jan 23:22]

Walton doesn’t deserve to be dropped on the back of one poor game imho. If you start doing that, you are going to shred the confidence of whoever is between the sticks.
Personally I think Godfrey has to start. On form it would be instead of Greaves but we then lose the balance of having a natural left footer, so realistically it would be at the expense of Wolf even though he’s played well since coming back into the side. O Shea is nailed on to start | |

Adding to what I have said I'd just like to make a comment on our goalkeepers. Whilst both are decent I'm not sure either are good enough for the Prem. Recently we have seen where bigger teams have had to bring in their second keepers and they have performed to a very high standard. Cerainly to a higher standard than either of Town's. I remember back to the days of Sir Bobby when Paul Cooper was in goal. Souper Cooper was the spot kick king saving endless pens. Yet Bobby tried to get Pat Jennings in as he was a top keeper for Spurs. |
Muric is no Jennings. | | | |

How many predicted teams have you seen?!
I suggest you know full well it isn't a consensus, or even remotely close to one, so your title is more attention seeking than anything close to the truth. |
More for the City game than the last few put together. Possibly because of the disappointment of Thursday.

It wasn’t even that poor. What I find hilarious is the constant football amnesia week after week. On Sunday Muric passed it straight to their striker gifting their only shot on target all game. How that is deemed worthy of a recall is utterly ridiculous… | | | |

Walton had a poor game on Thursday, but shouldn’t be dropped for one poor performance.
If Muric does replace Walton, think it will happen at an away game, when there is less fan input to the decision.
I can see Woolfy being dropped for Godfrey on Sunday, but could also see Godfrey replace Burns instead, and be very defensive against Man City. |  | | |

Wouldn't Johnson be first in line to replace Burns? | |

Yes agree normally Johnson would be the obvious replacement, just depends on how defensively we want to be. | | | |

His kicking was poor and he makes a big error for the first goal
The haters would have been all over Muric for a similar performance |  |

So Walton has one "questionable" game (depending on how you view it) and he's dropped? And Muric was called into question on how many games and kept his place?
Righto... |  |

Not sure about replacing Walton but I think despite what many think Godfrey will come in to replace Woolfenden. I'm all for local players, locally born and all that but there can be no room for sentiment and whilst Woolfenden has in the main performed to a decent level I don't see him as Premier League standard. It has to be remembered that before KM came in he was on his way out and seeing as value wise his worth sale wise is better than some others it may pay the club to cash in and we have to get rid of a couple of players and maybe more if any more new players come in. |
What on earth is the relevance of how Woolfenden was rated 3 years ago??
It’s how he’s playing now, and is there a better option that matters . | | | |

I never felt like dropping muric was the right decision. You're not going to build his confidence by dropping him.
Wolfy. I like him. But with axel back soon. Oshea in and godfrey. I don't see where wolfy fits other than back up. |  |

Which is no disgrace for Wolfy, he just isn't as defensively savvy as two experienced players with good PL experience | |

… in your opinion!
I suspect McKrnna’s too, but maybe not.
He’s shown he’s up to PL level in his 7 full appearances in my opinion, which is a surprise for many supporters I’d guess. | | | |

Again, you think you know better than McKenna.
Utterly clueless, and with it no self awareness (that's you BTW, not McKenna). |  |

No way.
Walton fully deserves to keep his place and not be dropped after just 3 games!
Woolfie likewise has been excellent.
Godfrey on bench for me. |  |

Quite easily. There’s a lot more to being a keeper than just how many mistakes they make.
I suppose it would be clearer if people said Muric has several attributes* that are better, but it seems pretty obvious what people mean. If he continues making mistakes it will be his Achilles heel though and makes it a difficult choice for KM, as Walton might be the preferred option even if he’s technically inferior in a few areas.
*I think Muric is quicker, stronger, generally more decisive, commands his area and claims high balls better and is a slightly better shot stopper. |
I think he’s a better reaction shot stopper, the kind of saves that you don’t expect a keeper to make.The rest I disagree with. He’s indecisive and doesn’t command his box or his defence. Quicker and stronger it’s difficult to tell as neither get muscled off the ball or run about much. Neither particularly excel at distribution like Hladky did. Muric also has at least one error in him per game, and they’re often consequential. To me the defence looks far more assured and confident when Walton is behind them. | | | |
