Need a new Goalkeeper at least two of those goals were preventable,the shot was an easy save if he stood up instead of dropping down when the shot came in ,then just stands looking at the ball for the next goal :lol:
So to break this down:
First goal - forces the man wide which is all he can do other than foul him and get sent off.
Second - unmarked on the edge of the box, struck with power right into the top corner. Great finish.
Third - I honestly cannot believe anyone thinks the third goal was Cooper’s fault. It was Wootton’s 100%. Wootton quite literally moves out the way of the ball when it was obvious he was about to head it. I repeat: he literally let the ball go into the goal.
Fourth - Cooper at fault for the pass to Moore. That’s an experience issue. Knowing when to clear and when to play out.
Cooper has made mistakes this season for sure and has been deserving of bits of the criticism, but I’m getting pretty tired of one of our youth players take a bashing every game for the shortcomings of the defence. It’s beggars belief that after years of the club getting bashed for not repeating the success of the Exeter academy we’ve now got people queuing up to bash one of our brightest young talents.
Cooper has a lot of the attributes to be a top keeper and he’s only going to get better. Especially if we put some competent defenders ahead of him.
