Martin Dúbravka

Play your best players, he's top quality whereas Darlow is lower prem/championship level.

[Ameritoon]

He's starting this weekend according to wor Luke

[ujpest doza]

Should have been playing weeks ago.

Darlow has done okay in his absence but should have been dropped a while ago now.

As the fat huffy bastard has now waited too long he has put unneeded pressure on Dubravka to come in and be outstanding which isn't fair.

 

[jackyboy]

I think he'll be back at the weekend. Bruce was waiting for something to make the decision for him and hearing him keep bringing up about Darlow being beaten on the near post, that it was a cardinal sin, something we need to look at etc tells me that he has found a way to have the decision made for him and justified

Could see him ‘standing by him’ and keeping him in.

luke edwards will have been told. he's not going to post that otherwise. it would upset his mate.

[Nobody]

Imagine if he doesn't have a blinder and Bruce put Darlow back in

I’m already worried we won’t keep a clean sheet and there’s something that can be pinned on Dubravka. Darlow will be straight back in and Bruce will be praised by his media mates.

[Infinitely Content]

As impressive as that save was at the end, it's how vocal he was towards the end that is the main difference. He was going wild at the back line and then screaming at Shelvey "time, time" as the ball was cleared his direction.

 

Glad to have him back.

[robbo_11]

He could have done better with their goal, but overall a decent performance. I just hope Bruce isn't picking the team for the next fixture and goes back with Darlow.

[Pilko]

Great save at the end, wrist was made of wet tissue paper for the goal like.

 

Of course, if Bruce had put him back in months ago he'd be fully up to speed again and we might have won.

[HaydnNUFC]

I feel more confident with him in goal but for the goal, that was fucking wank. Admittedly only his second game in like 7 months but that was shocking. Defending didn't help him mind.

Aye.

This.

[huss9]

no excuse for not saving their goal but we should have been ut of sight by then. hope he's done his fuck-up for the season and moves on.

[Guest neesy111]

I don't think it's a huge error for the goal, but he'll feel he should've kept it out but it was a great header.

[Rich]

What a save that was man, gutted for him on the goal.

[Infinitely Content]

I don't think it's a huge error for the goal, but he'll feel he should've kept it out but it was a great header.

 

Was one of those where if he saves it, it's an exceptional save and therefore shouldn't go down as a massive error. He would expect to do better I'm sure, and I get it because when a keeper gets down to it and it goes in it's easy to say it's his fault.

 

Won us a point at the end with a save that barely makes any sense, so we should be applauding him really not criticising.

[huss9]

i'm not a darlow fan but he would have got pelters for that.

[WarrenBartonCentrePartin]

I much prefer him to Darlow and I will actually give him credit for summat that didn't work out as well.

 

First half he took a cross and went for the quick throw. It was intercepted, but it was the right idea. Would prefer to see something like that than Darlow's predictable hold-on-for-an-age-then-just-aimlessly-boot-it-down-the-middle-onto-the-head-of-the-centre-half approach.

It was really good distribution tbh, textbook. And if it had gone to Saint Maximin or Almiron it would have set away a promising counter. Think Joelinton just got it stuck behind him, but regardless it's things like that which make him our number 1.

Agree. Backing away from goal as he took it too, really impressive.

[Andy]

Not convinced Darlow would've been in the right position to get a hand to it tbh.

[Away Day Gadgie]

It was a cracking header but i feel like Dubravka was a bit flat-footed and would ususally have kept that out if his sharpness was at it’s peak.  You can’t really expect that in his first match back after injury i don’t think.  Annoying cos he should’ve had 5 or 6 games under his belt by now.
