Smoke bombs came raining down near us too. Those labs outside want sacking.

I didn't think he was all that much either. Neither is Sinisalo. We need a decent, proven back-up GK for next season.

Hope he is OK after his treatment from the classless Manchester City fans. No-one should have to go through that.

I was ridiculed on here for saying we need THREE top shotstoppers back in the summer .

Looks like Robin will be no.3 and we will bring in a new number 2 , although I don't think he done too bad after a very shaky first 20 minutes

I thought he grew into the game after a shaky start. The second goal, I think he was slightly wrong footed but perhaps Emi might have got to it.  He did ok but after making an early mistake, I didn't have as mush faith in him as he possibly deserved.

I dont think that was the reason you’ve been ridiculed.

Video of the incident. I’m sure little if anything will happen. This is becoming a problem.

Assaulting an opposition player as they celebrate something they bought. Shame their scumbag owners can't use their ill-gotten money to buy some class. Nothing club, nothing supporters.

Thought he was poor for an international quality goal keeper, his kicking was also awful - not good enough, hopefully we are looking for better in the summer

Needs to be something done with regards to the pitch invasions, maybe temporary fencing at all grounds for the final home matches of the season, this is a society issue not just football and this type of behaviour happens most weekends in pubs and clubs throughout the country.

My wife works for WMP and the amount of drugs that are seized every day is unbelievable, if the people who are taking these drugs realised what they were actually snorting then they would stop immediately (who wants to be snorting oven cleaner and other products that they mix with the cocaine?)

I have to say, it's the thought of some of the bodily orifices where it's been to transport the stuff that rather puts me off... amongst other things.

I think anyone using the phrase "top shotstopper" deserves ridicule.

I'm no goalkeeper exprert but I thought he was ok to be honest, particularly as he hasn't had any match practice.  He was decent under the high ball and commanded his box pretty well.

Caught pretty much everything that was crossed in.
Would have added an assist if Ollie knew how to finish a one on one – and on a similar point, knowing that Man City's only real weak point is their central defence and keeper, I'm surprised we didn't go route one more often when they had more players committed forward.

First goal would have expected a bit more from him. Second goal he has to stop. Third goal he has a right to ask where his defenders were.

Was disappointed in the ref restarting the game when there was pyro everywhere on the pitch. If a keeper gets hit by pyro, he has every right to go to ground and demand to be treated – so maybe we could have been a bit cuter with our game management. It was getting thrown from every tier as well, so could have been far worse in terms of injury to players or fans – did see one dad who'd taken a picture of his two daughters covered in blue pyro on their arms  – when that burns at 2500c, that could be a life-changing injury.

Lastly, if you're a steward who's been told to rush onto the pitch to protect a player, surely just standing by and watching three fans attack your man is pretty bloody remiss?
