great strike however how unfortunate,that same player same position same end result scored against reading last week.Great coaching memo to manager when seeing a player score the week before live on sky show players replay and think about putting a player on post.

Really this is just OTT...every time he get's beaten it seems he should have stopped it...I'm gonna say that sometimes you have to put your hand up and say that an oppos goal was fantastic...no goalkeeper could have stopped that....right off the inside of the post.Could Ronaldo or Beckham have struck one better....NO of course not and would the pundits be blaming the keeper who they beat...NO of course not...but because it's Nicky Weaver of course it's a mistake.
Mind you, had the ref have made them take the free kick from where the offence took place...a good three yards further back...then we probably wouldn't be discussing this.

The old cliche springs to mind, a keeper is only as good as the defence in front of him.
Sorry SoundAs, being at a game for once I had a clear view, and Weaver's positioning was shocking. He had ample time to line up the wall, and get to the middle of the goal, if he had stood in the middle, and got his fingertips to it I would have said fair enough, but he was so far from the ball it was embarrassing.
Still rest easy chaps, we are flying back to Portugal today, so things will improve.
Our record since moving now stands at something like 12 games seen, one victory, one draw, ten defeats...
So it could be worse then!! ;-)
No keeper would have saved it. He has messed up on quite a few things lately, but that one you can't blame IMO.
HOW CAN YOU BE DIRECTLY IN LINE WITH IT YOU SIT TO THE LEFT OF OUR PENALTY BOX LOOKING FROM THE NORTH STAND AND IT WOZ TAKEN FROM THE RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE BOX ;-)
With Weaver running like a sprinter to get to the point where any keeper should have been in the first place, he didn't even give himself a chance, that's my point AFKA. I stand my ground, it was awful goalkeeping.
When we employed this tatic can't remember conceding many.
Had he have been further to HIS left and the guy stuck it in the opposite corner there would be those blaming him for being too far to his left on the line.
Can't win sometimes as a keeper...especially when some have the knives out for you....everything suddenly get's SUPER analysed and you get torn to shreds.Not having a great season by any means is Weaver and I'll blame him when I think it's fair but that goal last night was a peach.
Weaver lacks all confidence, mainly brought on because the defence make so many mistakes. But then the defence are nervous as they don't have a commanding keeper behind them. One of the many problems we have week after week
