The brave thing to do would be drop a player whose confidence is shot and has underperformed.

The easy thing to do is throw him back into the lions den and hope for the best.
Meslier has made over 200 appearances for us and so inevitably there will be the odd mistake here and there. You don't throw players with that amount of first team experience under the bus after one poor game. Yes he also made an error against Sunderland but that was months ago.

It isn't one poor game.

Has been articles all week from various sources, it's a long standing problem going back years.

He's statistically one of the worst goalkeepers in the world over the last few years.

But won't argue will just hope for the best.

Hopefully he has very little to do apart from a few simple saves and can build some confidence :ok:

This is the difference with making real decisions rather than from the comfort of a sofa.

DF may make a change at some point, but the suggestion that Meslier’s confidence is shot is just speculation. If he was a quivering wreck I am sure Farke would have picked up on that and made the necessary change.

He is under pressure though, which I glad about. No keeper should be in a comfort zone, he knows that Darlow is waiting in the wings and has to perform. We will now see how he reacts.

Logical thing to do is give Darlow the gloves, but we all knew that wasn't gonna happen 8-)

Shea Charles does start.

Front 3 of Gassama, Musaba and Windass in good form.

4 goals 3 assists in last 3 between them.

Windass has scored or assisted in his last 6 games.

Our bench looks strong - compare that to last season and I can understand why we do not need to panic during this window.

Important that Aaronson keeps Bannon quiet again. He did a number on him at their place and prevented him from having any influence.

Brilliant ball by the bearded loanee, caused the mayhem that led to the goal.
