Time for AMB to get a chance until the end of the season, see if he can do any better now he’s had a spell out of the side and playing behind generally improved team. Isted has been just as error prone and at least AMB had the excuse that we had Appleton destroying his and everyone else’s confidence.
AMB was given a LOT of chances both last season and this season. And he showed that he also had a mistake in him, oftentimes a worse one than Isted. I don't think we're learning anything new about AMB at this point. I think he'll be gone, maybe one loan, in the summer.
Isted seems to be seen as the better keeper of the two at this point, and I think that's right. But I don't think either are good enough to match our stated ambitions.
I think I watched most of AMB’s games this season and the only ‘mistake’ I can recall is against Port Vale away where maybe he should have come for the header. Isteds distribution is better but AMB is a much better goalkeeper overall. I am mystified by the negative views of him Isted in comparison flaps at things and virtually never saves anything that is aimed at him. I really think this is one decision that Nathan has got completely wrong
Bullshit, AMB made 3 or 4 clangers, rushing out of the box for no need and having diabolical positioning. He also literally never spoke to his defence and had multiple occasions where Hector or Jones or a different centre back would scream at him as he'd try and come out for a high ball that they're dealing with. He's also injury prone. But lo and behold take a player out of the team for a while and they slowly become world beaters

When your football club gives you Apples, revolt!
Lua Lua on for Anderson
... and then I realised that was how our defenders operate.
Reading winning 1-2
