He's becoming a bit of a problem.

Who’s going to drive him to Old Trafford themselves then?
Get Ramsdale in, some proper experience.

Makes too many mistakes , and does not make a save using his hands , only seems to use his legs and feet to make saves , has cost us too many goals , hope Steele comes back soon
Awful just awful

JS got start next game.
I’d rather give Rushworth a chance.

Surely nobody is defending this bloke at this point. He is absolutely rank as a goalkeeper. Shit off his line, doesn't claim crosses, crap with his feet, loves a blunder, rarely saves anything.
Get rid. Absolutely killing us.

Progress is rarely a straight line. There will be dips in form, as we’ve seen, and mistakes costing goals. With a senior keeper available he likely would’ve been dropped a few games ago until he picks up again. Will be a top keeper and very likely will move in the summer if the right club with the right offer approach.

When exactly was the good form? 2 good games, and that spell at the end of last season when Steele couldn't catch anything?
The bloke is statistically one of the worst in the Prem on nearly every metric. It's absolutely crazy people are still defending him

So is Steele though, that’s the problem.

Sorry, which of the goals yesterday was he meant to have saved? Genuine question. Two deflected and two into the corners.

Shots in corners can be saved by good goalkeepers you know. And crosses can be claimed by goalies who aren't permanently rooted to their line.
Also I can't remember if it was the second or third but it came from him making yet another gormless pass straight to nobody.
He caused one of the goals by passing the ball straight to their player

Two of Brentford’s goals were deflections, Bart had both covered before they took late deflections leaving him no chance,

Don’t think he could have saved any of them, but not for the first time he hit a terrible pass into the middle of the pitch straight to their player. They then have the ball with an overload and 10 seconds later it’s in the back of our net again.
At the start of the season I was fully behind giving him the whole year to cement himself as our clear number 1, but I’m starting to think he could do with a break from the starting XI for a bit.
The team could probably do with another experienced head in the line up at the moment as well, so if there was ever an opportunity to give the gloves back to Steele for a bit then this is probably it.

Sadly never convinced by him
He doesn’t command his area and remains rooted on his goal line which is why we conceded so many goals from crosses.
Height and hands are meant to be an advantage, use them or find someone that will
Rushworth needs to be given a chance now it’s gone on too long

Very much this. We finished the 1st half much the stronger & to start the 2nd half like that was criminal. I think it’s clear the defence have lost confidence in him & that causes all sorts of issues.

Thanks for that. Which one was he meant to save?

Yes you are, giving the ball away in front of goal isn't great for a start!

I assume you mean the second goal where the highlight of the goal starts here with the player nearest the ref having just passed the ball? So he's received the ball near the halfway line with players back? That one?
