Does anyone know why Marshall has been dropped.

Because Heaton is playing incredibly well

Haven't seen anything official. He started last season really well and I though that at last we had a solid keeper.

But I think he got found out.

Teams seemed to realise that he was very vulnerable to crosses being delivered almost under his crossbar.

Swansea at home seem to highlight it with Ashley Wiliams scoring and after that I felt teams were deliberately targeting this weakness.

I have to say though, although he wasn't the only one at fault, I felt Bristol's first goal on Saturday was largely due to a mistake by Heaton. The cross travelled right across the 6 yard box, he came out and missed it completely, leaving an easy header at the far post.

he had a elbow injury and heaton came in a few weeks back, but since then heaton (and i didn't think id say this) but he's been fantastic, palace home he made 3 great saves, (my MOTM) and other games he's been great too, well worthy of his place in my opinion, shakes things up!

Fair Comment.

Heaton does worry me a bit at times though.

yes, Heaton has been class since he came in - makes saves he has no right to make.
