Simple question, but is there a simple answer?

Well, 70% favoured Reguero, but the opinion that counts has opted for Esson today.

Why did Reguero get dropped for last 2 games, he's been playing well yet gets dropped, good for his confidence that will be eh!!?

Obviously the manager thinks otherwise! Thought he looked short of confidence at St M tbh.

esson got injured reguero played well, reguero became first choice keeper.

esson gets to play in the cup to give reguero a rest, esson plays well, regains starting jersey. looks to me like terry is being consistent more than detremental.

i really don't get why he would give captaincy to  esson when he has barely played this season  

Growing up in the great era of 'catching' goalies in the sixties and seventies my pet hate is the way nearly all keepers today most of the time stand rooted to the line a la Alan Rough when catchable crosses come over (happened again for second goal today). Is it coached now or a lack of confidence in themselves?  The best goalies never worried if there were international class defenders in front of them, they still made crosses their own or at least went down fighting to get to it.

 

It gives a team a lift when the keeper really goes for the ball and commands the area. Attackers also know that they might get a thick ear if a big goalie is heading their way. It also should be even easier than it used to be when you could barge as nowadays refs always give a foul if the keeper is 'impeded'.

 

Bring back the Pat Jennings school of goalkeeping.

 

Esson or Reguero?  both need coaching in the art of dealing with a cross.

Maybe it would help if the goal keeping coach SM was there to coach the keepers rather than clocking up the miles scouting players! These are two different jobs in my opinion!

Cant believe you would upset the back four by replacing your keeper wtf is that all about.  Tell me why has Reguero been dropped strangest tactic i have ever seen. 

IF Reguero was dropped becos of lack of confidence then there should have been a few more joining him on the bench. We do have a real positive - as we had with Tuffey - that we have two good goalkeepers playing fer the one place. TBH I was more surprised that Esson was left to warm the bench and Reguero allowed to have a run. I dont think that it would have had any negative effect on the back four. Being a defender of olde I would have preferred to have had Esson behind me. He is a more commanding figure IMHO.

heard tonight that reguero is talking to killie to take over there when cammy bell leaves ????

Did you hear it from someone who had read it on here last week?

 Esson has been our keeper against SPL sides 8 times this season. How many of those games did we win?

 

I'll give you a clue. It starts with a zero.

 

None from 10 now!
