New keeper

Have we signed one yet? If not why not. Come on Paul you know it makes sense.

So McKeown has been bloody fantastic for us for the last 5 years. He's struggling with form but rather than stick with him with the knowledge that he will get back to his best you just want to replace him? Show a bit of respect.

We could rush through a deal for de Gea - I'm sure our fax machine works.

Macca was not to blame for any goals yesterday. Said it yesterday and I'll say it again. He flew through the air tremendously to stop a ball arriving on an opponents head. Got a good hand too it too.

The trouble for that first goal was as a result of his teammates then being slower to react to the second ball than their opponents.

It's funny how we are blaming the keeper and the team changes for a defeat. We were all over Macclesfield in the fist half and all the incoming players did well. If you want to blame anyone for us not winning then you need to blame the strikers who missed some gilt edged chances. Particularly Omar who had loads of chances including the one in the first half where he tripped over his own feet and then two or three free headers.

McKeown was clearly at fault for the first. If you go for a cross, you've got to put it somewhere safe and palming it directly to an unmarked opponent is a mistake. All he needed to do was push it behind the goal and it would have been safe. Just a poor decision.

He didn't have a chance with their second goal, obviously.

I'm not sure there was a right decision for mckeown. He leaves it and they could score. He attempts to deal with it, and he did well to get something on it, and they score. Instead of looking for someone to blame all the time cant we actually accept that opposition players are allowed to do things of quality, and that cross was one of those occasions

I agree with you, but sorry Macca was at fault, he should have punched the ball out for a corner

From where I was sitting, you could see he got a good hand on the ball but he palmed it back in to play rather than helping it on and out for a corner

Having said that our defence then seemed flat-footed allowing Macc to capitalise on Macca's error...joint culpability for their first goal imho

The player it fell for totally mishit his shot also, which went straight to one of his own men stood unmarked right in front of the goal and he couldn't miss. Disaster all round and i disagree with the previous poster about it being a quality cross. It was just a floated punt that should have been dealt with.

Come on guys, he should have dealt with the first goal, he also almost gifted them 2 other goals when he dithered on a clearance and also nearly scored an own goal from a back pass. The first goal was almost a carbon copy of his error at Altrincham. He said in the radio interview that he is not been playing well. I think his confidence is low and needs to come out of the firing line for a month or two. Don't get me wrong I feel sure he will recover but we cannot keep giving soft goals away.
