We need a goalkeeping coach in asap he seems very indecisive this season .Doesn't command his area confidently and punching when he could easily just catch it is putting his defence under undue pressure .I know the defenders have switched off at times this season but his hesitancy can’t be helping the overall defensive confidence :bluescarf:

Today he didn't seem to have a clue what to do? Several times he should have come for ball but didn't causing problems for defenders and at ione point have them chance to score...he definitely needs help.

BBM said about a week ago that he'd have a GK coach after the international break.

Do agree that Trott was off it today.

He's never been good at coming for the ball, especially during dead ball situations.

His inability to come off his line makes our back line a lot more nervous than they need to be a couple of times today it nearly cost us

except shot stopping I don't rate him at anything else, never have tbh, anything over 30 yards he can't pass a ball to a blue shirt he finds touch more than anything and is rooted to his line. Looks likes got Parkinson's coming off his line a hesitating mess tbh.

He was let down regarding his first choice due to a Visa issue, so it’s clearly taken time to recruit a replacement. However, it seems he has identified the guy he wants and hopefully that will occur now he has a moment to take a breath

Lots going on inside our club (more to come on that) but I sincerely hope BBM is backed in some way before it’s too late! :ayatollah:

He was poor last year at coming off his line. And we had a GK coach then. He doesn’t do it and that’s it.
