Time after time Conrad has saved us this season yet people are still apportioning blame, they really do need to give their heads shake.

Faultless yesterday in fact he kept us in the game, after Mals stupid school boy defending to giveaway the penalty Conrad saved it and set up a platform to go and win the game.

I for one with many others were hoping he would save it, I don't understand anyone who wouldn't

He's had a good season overall.

I think he's had a decent season, maybe his problem last season was he'd got too skinny. :D

He had one moment of madness yesterday but was otherwise outstanding. Our MoM by a mile.

He's getting better. Is this to do with Bobby challenging for the spot?
Or, perhaps, that Conrad & Bobby are doing the goalie coaching?
Or, perhaps, the fans are not on his back?
Interesting comments this week about Xhaka at Arsenal receiving counselling. The foul and abusive stick Conrad & CJ (&JD) have had this season are well out of order and do the players / manager no good for their confidence.

He’s getting better because this season he’s having to do double the work. That’s twice as many shots to save and crosses etc. Our minds have been swayed by the fact he touches the ball more. When he’s got less to do, then I’d worry about him again. He looks better because atm he’s the best of a terrible bunch.

And yet we ship three goals, just shows how poor our defending has got.

When you compare it to last season ( with the same players ), it's a tragedy.

How, in one paragraph, do you go from stating he's getting better to then saying he only looks better because the defence isnt playing well?

Conrad is what conrad is. Flitcroft wanted to play with a "sweeper keeper" who comes out of his goal regularly to "mop up" and release to a player in a advanced position and go on the attack again. Conrad doesn't have the experience or the speed or the fitness to do that all game. He's played for sides that don't release from the back but are the old "everyone go to one side of the pitch ready to win the header" kind of play. Olejnik has experience in releasing the ball early to a teammates feet.

Conrad has certainly improved his early distribution this season but old habits die hard. In my opinion it is also why Evans preferred logan, because he's direct with his distribution and that's how Evans played. Under Flitcroft we built from the back, that's why Olejnik played better.

You could argue case in point, Olejnik in the cup, he struggled. You've got the flip side to that being he's been out for months.

I actually mean in the eyes of the observer. Not that he’s actually improved. It seems like he’s improved because he’s called upon more often due to our poor midfield and defence. I didn’t think he was that bad anyway just clanger prone. When you have less to do like he did last season, and are called upon, you might not be as alert. This season he’s more alert due to having double the workload. Just the way it seems to me anyway.

If Conrad came out of his box he could be the furthest player forward at times this season.

Conrad is having a good season .
Think if someone looks at the stats for passing the ball
He would be top, because of all the back passes to him

I’ve not been his biggest fan but I will always give credit where it’s due. A very good save Conrad at a very important time in the game .
Also he was at least trying to motivate the players and he could be heard loudly from IG lower stand.
Overall there has been a lack of Communication this season especially with layers trying to spur others on !
Jamie McGuire have a word with them please to how it should be done.

We've enough red cards as it is :P

I know some want to see Bobby back in goal (myself included if i'm honest), but only based on merit. Our defence had lost it's calmed assurance and organisation, maybe Bobby has too under the new regime. Either way, it's good to see Conrad win some plaudits

Totally agree with the other comments. From the first time I saw him Conrad fills me with fear regarding his inability to take crosses and command his six yard box but credit where credit is due he's been the most consistent performer over the past few weeks and his save after 80 minutes of inactivity against Corley was top draw .

Conrad was responsible for some real howlers earlier in the season. He has been a transformed player in the last half dozen games. Perfect goalie? No. But in his present form he deserves his place.
