I havent seen todays goal yet, but what I do know is that we should have gone after a half decent temporary replacement. We signed that Vasser chap and we had high hopes we could soldier on. I believe he should have been in goal by now, Maxted is not a long term replacement for Ward. I would have thought Taylor would have sussed that by now.
I agree with your views on maxted, but you are living in la la land if you think a league two side is going to be able to get hold if two very decent goalies. Maxted is a second string. As such he is putting in second rate performances. Welcome to the 4th tier.

I don't quite understand the criticism of Maxted when Bowman goes yet another game as primary striker, misses chances and fails to score.

Listening on the radio sounded like we played well and were the better side for a large part of the game.... more than disappointing to concede like that right at the end.

I'm also concerned that we seemed to show increased determination and will to win against Plymouth when it mattered but we can't buy a win anywhere else.

Based on Matt Taylor's post match interview Maxted messed up for their goal.

Pete will be all over it.

Nothing on the Facebook interview pointing the finger at Maxted.

If our backup keeper, who started 20 odd games in League 1 last season, isn't good enough, I do have to wonder who the **** you think we could get as an improvement?
Bert Trautman or Gordon Banks or .......

It was mentioned in his Radio Devon interview very shortly after the game had finished.

I have not seen the goal myself.

Judging from the pictures I've seen, Fatty Foulkes was tall enough. Don't know about the others.
