You forgot Fox. Yoshida was pulled out of position because Fox was not defending properly. This is happening time and again, where Fox leaves the Left CB exposed, who then goes to try to cover and it pulls the remaining back 3 apart and leaves huge gaps. Yoshida could probably have done better (especially if he had been on the pitch more than a few minutes) but the root cause is Fox's defending.

 

 

I had a response for this but I have decided to start a new thread as what I found myself writing has gone off topic as it isn't particularly about KD.

There is a lot of posts on here saying how wrong you are. Well to be honest I don't run the club and I don't make the decisions and anyway the window has closed so we play with what we got.

 

The sickening thing is not the opinions be they right or wrong it is the absolute deliberate lack of good grace or respect shown to the man.

 

After all if he had ****ed off and joined West Ham to be a bench warmer or before this he'd have probably had the same people calling him a **** too.

 

And for the record I happen to think Craig Gordon is over rated crap and I am still waiting to see the Premiership goalie that dominates his penalty area plucking crosses out of the air like low hanging fruit. Ray Clemence used to be good at crosses, after that there isn't that many. Just watch a bit more football other than Saints only.

I am not defending KD for this season as i have stated that he does not seem to be up to it.

The sad thing is that there have always been some fans on here sitting in the shadows waiting to pull the knife. They kept quiet as he made match winning performances but waiting to pounce as soon as this dip in form came.

i dont think many of them have ever kicked a ball, or if so never played any sport to a decent level because if they had they would realise the jump in standard by even a league is immense. I see a poster on here trying to say that KD should have saved RVP first.' if only he had moved his knee a bit it would have been saved' Lol

I watched the great Pat jennings and he was a boyhood hero, he would come out and catch the ball one handed, but that was when the balls were leather and heavy and didnt do much in the air, nowadays the ball moves around and so it is hard to dominate the areas.

I had said that KD be given his chance as he had done so much for the club and should be given the respect he deserves, it has not panned out well and so if NA decides to change him then I will not complain. Craig Gordon is the new Blayney,Smith, Wright,Moss etc etc who were the next kings who could easily replace Niemi/KD over the years, where are they now.

Finally if KD had left 2 seasons ago IMO we would not now be in the PL.

Not me, I've been saying for 2 years that he isn't good enough for the top level. Been slagged off for it plenty of times as well.

Ever since his howlers in the home defeat by Brentford, good keepers don't make those mistakes on a regular basis.

i dont recall the howlers in the Brentford game, i do recall a couple in his early days and others spread around the seasons. To expect a keeper in the 3rd /2nd/1st tier of football never to make a mistake , to command a penalty area etc etc is fanciful.

I watched Evertons Howard let a goal in last night that if it had been KD many would have said he should have stopped it. Shilton is probably the best keeper I have seen play for us, and he was useless at taking crosses and never saved penalties, his distribution was questionable as well, but one thing is for certain he saved us a lot more points than he lost us. The top PL keepers have fantastic defences in front of them and so dont get the pressure the weaker teams do. It is a team package, but KD is looking his age and has lost something.
