He has been making some right howlers since getting back into the QPR team.

He didn't cover himself in glory with Isaac Davies goal last week and before that he misjudged a free kick when he came on against Blackburn that gave them the 1-0 win. Now he had made the biggest howler of them all just now against Luton.

He seems one of these goalies that can make world class saves only to follow up with schoolboy errors.

A 'worldy' save followed by the goal today sums what you said up perfectly...

Akways a Bluebird hero to me and I'll defend him on that and the way he was treated at the end; but he is in the twilight of his career and looking for one final World Cup opportunity with Scotland

Sadly, as much as I don't follow the international team, I don't want that to hapoen at tge expense of Welsh Wales

Even in his prime he would make 2 worldlies and then totally miss a cross. Still love him though :bluescarf:

For such a good shot stopper, his biggest problem from what I can remember was being bullied in the air at corners. Teams always put a big guy in front of him and it tended to result in him flapping at the crosses and losing the ball. Still in the top 5 City keepers of my time though.
