Shay Given

As a non-believer in Shay I have to say he hardly put a foot wrong yesterday. Okay he could have taken those corner crosses but not many would have saved Stam's header in the first place.

His kicking looks to have improved although he did give me a shock when he started to run past one NH defender!

Sort the defence out and we won't concede many this year with Given.

I wanted Harper to be in goal yesterday and was quite vocal about it. I had shout up by the end of the game mind. Overall I still prefer Harper

If we had some decent centre backs who could deal with the aerial threat Given wouldn't look so exposed. It looks like Karelse is on his way after agreeing a deal to move to his former club. Will Bobby promote one of the youngsters or buy in a new keeper?

Promote a youngster I reckon. He could buy Wright from Ipswich if he is still on offer. But word has it he comes with a high wage demand.
