I wasn't able to watch this one apart from the highlights. What was his distribution like?

One dodgy pass but otherwise it was fine.

Beyond that he saved everything, top performance. Havent seen the goal on replay but was sat behind it and was unstoppable from what i could tell.

Think he is proving so far to being reliable but still think he's role should be 3rd choice

Surely we are keeping tabs on CAA Base client Anthony Patterson. He looks very decent age 24 homegrown

Not sure about that. Shot stopping is very good. Almost cost us playing out though. Needs to just go long if there's no options to go short. Decent performance overall but not great. One of these mistakes playing out is going to cost us soon.

Got to say, a lot of people were thinking he would be disaster but credit where credit is due. He’s been very solid and made some exceptional saves across the last few games. Good lad.

I’m one of them, got to say he’s one who can come out of these last few games with his head high.

Still think January we need a keeper but he’s the least of our worries at the moment.

Again some great saves. Didn’t expect that when he came in. I stand corrected.

I knew palmer would dink the 2nd one. Shame Forster didn't but he is much better than I thought

Same, and yes he's had say one odd pass per game which has put us in trouble but Viciario and pretty much every defensive player has one of these in his locker per game due to the system we play. Englands no 1 on this form i say!

Shame we arent very good at reducing his workload each game with some defending right now.

He would be the best number 3 keeper in the league. Vicario needs proper completion though

I think Forster deserves a lot of credit. A lot of people were talking like he was going to be a complete disaster, but apart from a couple of dodgy incidents with his kicking he's been fantastic. If anything hes been one of our best players.

He's playing well while the rest of the team isn't, so he's under pressure all of the time. Seriously wondering now if Vicario is actually any better, and that's not meant to be critical of Vic. We have 2 decent keepers.
