I'm surprised to see people saying Guzan should keep his place.

He's done well, but have people forgotten how many points Given saved us earlier this season? Guzan is a decent keeper. Given is one of the best in the top flight.

Yep, Guzan has shown himself as a good number 2. Given is definitely our best.

Guzan's done extremely well... Swansea clearance aside. The longer Shea's out the more he'll grow.

Great finishes from the babbies, when Albrighton was put through for his goal Bents movement in the box was immense, granted Marc put it in but nobody else in our team has that movement, the goals will come for him.

Shay isn't out for much longer and he is our best goalkeeper.

Just seen very brief highlights on SHITV. In Warnock's defence he hasn't got a chance with the pen - hits his elbow at pretty much point blank range.
Still needs to be replaced - soon please!

I agree... he's great. Thankfully Guzan is up to stepping in though.

Oh it wasn't a pen, I wouldn't blame Warnock for that. It was the rest of his display that was horrible, he did look drunk.

The pen was very harsh, so I won't hold it against him.

However, Warnock was fucking terrible yet again today.

Warnock was predictably dreadful. God knows what's up with him. Whatever's going on, he's turned into a bloody liability.

Second Bent should be dropped for our next game and we should play the team that beat Chelsea.

I disagree 100%

How can you disagree 100%? That would mean that we shouldn't play any of the team that beat Chelsea? Better get the reserves warmed up then

I was a bit pissed of with the ITV highlights (no surprise). I was looking forward to seeing GG's strike at goal as it was a very good attempt from distance and the best save the Bristol keeper made.

The ITV highlights were as brief as a Britney Spears marriage.

His first couple of games were better than expected, and he has gone up in my estimation.  He definitely is a competent number two, but there is no chance in hell he should keep Given out of the team.  None.
