Henry bottled a challenge and Rob Green fluffed it. Yes it took a slight deflection but a top class keeper gets something on that for me. Both should have done better!

Great fight back though and a very enjoyable night at the Bush!

But he's not a top class keeper..... $hit at kicking and makes a few howlers. On the flip side he's made a few worldy saves and kept us in enough games.... More than capable at this level.

Putting in great performances but we have a keeper who F*cks up on more than one occasion through the season, but the second goal last night was a howler proper Weetabix goal had plenty of time to see the ball just hope the defence keeps the shots on target down for the rest of the season, need a keeper next season though, great performance by the other players.

Nice to have a convenient scapegoat but it is a team effort. If we hadn't conceded the first one then the second one would not have been such a big deal and we might have even won it.

The weak link in a decent team performance .

Reasons it was Green's fault:

1) The bloke took the shot from a different postcode
2) It was straight at him

Seen the replay. Think Stanley has a point. Unlucky with the deflection and the wet surface. He ought be disappointed with it though. Think Hall should have stood up to the shot better, tbf. JT style....

So many goal keeping experts on one forum

Oh well, at least two respected posters agree with me

The very least some on here should do is watch the HD replays before commenting, especially the close-up ground level one, shot from behind and to the right of van La Parra.

Was deffo a deflection but can't help thinking if he just stood up he could of trapped the ball or just kicked it away. But not knocking him, don't care how many people say he costs us goals, he saves us so many more woth worldies.

Greeno is a bit short of confidence at the moment, plus now he is playing in front of a more robust defence he is having less to do which of course is great. We all know that his kicking is not the best and we tend to hold our breath sometimes but looking at it a goalkeeper of his experience should have done better and CA more or less said the same at the end of the match but lets all be positive about the way we came back and also if Matt's strike had been inches the other way what a great result we would be celebrating and I really feel we are close to being a very good team under JFH. In this championship a run of two or three wins puts you right in the mix and I do feel we have now got a chance of doing this so we now have some renewed hope!

At the ground it looked like a bad one ..and yes he probably should be saving it.but looking at it back i think there several contributing factors as to why it went in...but you almost felt the cheer on here from the green haters

Think some have misconstrued Austin's comment. He said it was "a goalkeeper's nightmare", IOW he's defending him due to all the factors - being unsighted to the initial shot, the deflection, the wet surface, the spinning bounce just in front of him etc.

Even giving him the benefit of the doubt about that shot , he looks well out of form & low on confidence to me. If we are planning on having Smithies in the team next season I don't think Green should be blocking his slot in this sort of form.

Pointless comment ?

I forgot I posted this as I've repeated it again. Matty for gawd sake it's a basic skill

Green sympathisers should have a look at Stockdale in the other goal last night. Big, strong commanding and miles better than Green. I'd say Stockdale was an average to good Championship keeper, so what does that make Green?

Made a couple of good saves but you could argue he could've done better with both Austin's goals.

That's a joke right?

Stockdale made some excellent saves, come out claiming crosses, plucking them commandingly. Can also kick the ball with a non-50p foot. Had no chance with either goal.

Made Green look amateur.
