Our keeper

Was he aware that he’s allowed to move? Unbelievable. Just watching the ball go past him. Not even a dive. Get rid. And Alnwick. Simply not good enough.

I think Alnwick is the safer option but get rid of Horvath was like he was glued down at times.

Both are not good enough.

At one point we had Marshall and Heaton in the same squad. How times have changed.

Horvath is as far from being a professional Goalkeeper as frogs are from feathers. Every time he had the ball to hand or foot you could feel the catastrophe about to happy and it did - quite often! He lacks confidence, mobility, decision-making, distribution skills and is totally gutless to boot!! Give me Jack Alnick a million time before Horvath - how Horvath has earned a living as a Goalie all these years is deserving of a considerable amount of sarcastic admiration - first out the door in the Summer for me!!

I don’t think either of them are as bad as what a lot of people are saying.

Are they top championship keepers? Absolutely not.

But Keeper is a very hard position to play, they get called out for mistakes a lot more than an outfield player, and with our defence changing every game it’s never going to be easy for them.

I’m more comfortable with Alnwick than I am with Horvath though, and if Alnwick was open to staying with us in League one on a lower wage then I would have no problem with him being here next season.

He’s definitely good enough to be a starting keeper in L1

Horvath's biggest problem is that he never comes for crosses and therefore passes the buck to the defenders. Striker outjumps them its an easy finish for them as he is rooted to the spot every single time. He definitely needs to go.

horvath is too flat footed and can never react in time unless it's straight at him. he needs to be on his toes
