No fault for the second goal. I’m a big fan of allsop but Stockdale showed today that quick and accurate distribution is something we can benefit from with the right players on the pitch.
Indeed. When was the last time we saw Allsop in the centre circle play an "up and under" into the opposition box? If only Stewart had better control ...
When was the last time we were able to have a discussion about who we want between the sticks? Must have been years since we had two or more decent keepers on our books at the same time.
Other Number 1 battles were John Maskell v Keven O'Brien early 70's. Mask v Peter Spittle mid to late 70's. Gary Lester v Johnny Granville and Steve Crompton late 80's.
Brian Parkin v John Cheesewright v A bag of coats under Alan Smith.
Interesting side note given the calls to bring him in pre-season, Jamal Blackman can't now get in the Rotherham team. Perhaps a similar situation to Allsop as it appears that he picked up an injury and has been unable to force his way back in (despite a string of defeats).
My understanding is that they are both out of contract at the end of the season. It will be interesting to see what Ainsworth does. Sign one, both or neither .

Why ? Hardly a massive error !
Just me jest @HolmerBlue !!
Ripping @JohnBoy. You really don’t think I was being serious I hope!

A few “if onlies” today @Twizz !
I feel for Allsopp, but personally I just feel more confident with Stockdale in goal
Hear hear.
Absolutely. Should have been in earlier.

Possibly when FrankTalia was preffered to Martin Taylor.

I think when a young Matt Ingram was challenging Nicki Bull for the number one jersey
Can't believe nobody is mentioning Chuck Martini
Seem to remember some fans wanting Scott Brown recalled from loan to replace Jamal Blackman in the side
Probably because no one with the surname Martini has appeared for the Wanderers.

Parkin v Cheesewright!
Those were the days.
Chessewright was last seen working in the cheese aisle at a Leeds Co-op
You wouldn't want him in charge of a knife
Poor old Cheesey suffered the deep shame of being regarded as even worse than Parkin.
Now imagining a cheese (from the Co-Op aisle Ofoborh was felled in) topped slice of Parkin cake.
Bit of a tangent, but was "Cheesey Wright Wright Wright" the worst chant ever sung by Wycombe fans?
Not even in the top 10
I'm sure you know but for those that don't, Chuck Martini is the name that Chuck Moussadik now goes by.
Stockdale keeps the shirt for me...but I trust Gaz to choose
Well, the Gasroom has spoken - Allsop on the bench.
Not too bad a ‘keeper to have on the bench.
Either of them

Stockdale has now kept as many clean sheets (4) as Allsop has this season!
