I have no fault to find with Bens ability but would suggest that his combatative attitude perhaps has worked against him in that his relationship with his back four has at times broken down.
It was noticable that the new keeper appeared quietly in control and already had a good rapor with the defence as well has pulling of a couple of top class saves which settled every bodys nerves.
As for knappy and Cooky seems a match made in heaven!

Ben has done ok most of the time so I'm sure he will bounce back when the loan keeper goes back, maybe the rest will do him good, it can't have been easy for him with the goals that have been going in, and in no way am I blaming him for that, the defence and midfield have to take responsibility for that.

There was a different atmosphere yesterday, in a positive way which was good

Does that mean you have written Ben off already!? Harsh

As Arnie said "I'll be back" and I'm sure Ben will be at some point, as you said maybe a rest will do him some good, can't have been easy playing behind a leaky defence, confidence bound to be affected.

Would be nice to see Steve Casey return, I rated him, obviously just didn't see eye to eye with Nathan but as a local lad would be good to see him back.

Think the calmer personality that Bulman displayed was what the back four needed, certainly didn't get the impression that he'd throw his gloves at his defenders if he conceded a goal or rant and rave to cover a mistake. Clearly Collier knows and trusts him from their days at Supermarine so it's highly possible that he will be our new goalkeeper, don't have a problem with that.

As posted earlier would there be such an outcry if Harvey gets dropped, which is likely to be the case if we get Rob Dean.

Please let's not go back to Casey, do we need him anyway, currently we've got Tindle, Blackmore and Adams, let's look forward
