Guest Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Dubravka makes mistakes but his all round game saves far more points. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 Bruce won’t change it unless he makes a glaringly big error. The fact he’s better makes no difference to him. He made one yesterday. Bruce is crap at decision making, and his failure to bring back Dubravka was always going to bite him in the arse. While Darlow has done fine as a fill in, as soon as Dubravka was back in the team it was obvious he was a class above. Bruce has devalued Darlow who's stock was really high before yesterday.

Guest Posted February 21, 2021 Share Posted February 21, 2021 Where’s the old Warrick Davis in goal gif? Darlow for the first goal and penalty reminded me of that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infinitely Content Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 It's a shame that it's been allowed to arrive at the point where most fans are calling for him to be dropped (rightly so imo as we need Dubravka for his ability and leadership for the scrap afoot). The situation should have been managed better, and Darlow should have been gracefully moved to his number 2 spot before mistakes crept in and began to mount. Perhaps the Sheffield Utd game should have been his last as I think Dubravka started the game against Arsenal a few days before. Could have just thanked Darlow and brought Dubravka back in, rather than allowing it to get to the point where the management have waited for these mistakes to creep in and people are on his back a bit. Fine contribution for us this season, but ultimately a number 2 at this level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't want to make the hard decisions so let's things grab on and then hang the player out to dry, which he's already started doing Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

St1pe Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 I think it’s a bit harsh criticising him for the penalty. How often do players go straight down the middle after they’ve recently missed one or missed on v the same keeper? He made a decision and stuck to it. It’s time to get Dubravka back in though.

Guest Posted February 26, 2021 Share Posted February 26, 2021 Should have happened after the Arsenal Cup game. “Dubravka’s fit again, Dubravka is my number 1, you’ve done a great job, work on improving x, y & z and you could be my number 1”. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
