Why play a system that relies for significant part, on an aspect of a players game that he's not very good at! Adams has to take some responsibility for something.

Problem with that is that then we'll lose possession closer to our own goal, rather than lose possession further up the pitch. At least using the current tactic it will take a few seconds longer before it comes back. :greensmile:
A keeper’s kicking can be influenced by the relationship with the target he is trying to reach. Without Taylor, he has hardly got a target. He is capable of throwing the ball to the halfway line but he rarely has someone to throw to because we defend very deep.
I did notice that, near the end on Saturday, Ainsworth was left upfield when we conceded a corner. However, there was no opportunity to reach him.
The only occasion that I recall that his kicking led directly to a goal was Peterborough’s first goal.
I think that his main weakness is one on one situations and failing to cover all angles; a feature of Luke McCormick’s game.

It's not possible to cover ALL angles! If you are referring to Doncasters first goal I would never fault a keeper for being beaten from inside the 6 yard box. The problem has occurred much earlier!
Ok. It’s just that some keeper’s are better at covering all possible angles than others. It probably comes with experience so perhaps it is part of Macey’s learning curve.
Not sure what the issue is with some on here regarding Letheren, every time he's been called upon he's done a decent job?
He made some excellent saves last night but have to say that I don’t think he should have been beaten for their goal.

I thought that too. I don’t blame Macey for the goal - I thought he had a decent game, cane for crosses and pulled off a few smart saves.
Yes his distribution isn’t perfect but he’s a good solid keeper IMO.
Macey had a very good game last night and his saves made sure we got a point.An Exocet of a shot from Barnsley to open the scoring.I doubt if many keepers would have kept that out.In fact Barnsley's shooting from distance was very good and needed some excellent saves from Macey to keep them out.Also nothing wrong with his kicking at all.On last night's performance he looks a very good keeper at this level.
