Surprise, surprise - you have to make a belittling remark about someone defending Arnold. Can't you just let these things go rather than jump on people? No wonder more & more people are reluctant to post on this board. I think having watched the Shrews regularly since 1983, I am entitled to have my opinion. I have also been to several other matches - I solely mentioned the away Wimbledon one as it was Arnold's first game. In actual fact that save from the free kick was one of the best I have seen over the years and it was a far better save than any fault that could possibly be attributed to him for the goal. but you had a go at people blaming Arnold for every goal ( which they dont ) and yet you did the very same oh and look someone replied on a forum how strange i'm entitled to my opinion like you are yours at least I don't delve into your private life to question your opinion some of you act like I've been suggesting the earth is flat It is Johnson and Farage have convinced me and Trump confirmed it.

I was agreeing 100% with his general thread on Arnold - I was not aiming to imply anything personal apart from your tendency to have a pop at anyone defending Arnold. I want to be clear on that I cannot be at the game tomorrow night but I will be at the Wimbledon game on Saturday. Hopefully, we will both be able to celebrate 2 good results by Saturday evening which at the end of the day is what we both most want. And hopefully, we can unite in saying Arnold did well in those 2 games. If he does have a good game, I hope you feel you can praise him for it. I have no doubt if he doesn't, we will hear about it. I sure if you examine the thread, i'm only having a pop back at digs at me that are nothing to do with Arnold anything else is just part of the debate

He certainly is not as bad as some folk make out, but he is probably is not as good as others make out either.
His kicking is poor, but I also remember Coleman’s being even worse.
There are other players I would want to change before him in our squad. I ‘don’t mind’ him in our goal and I don’t think he is the worst keeper in this league. ( But there are no doubt some better in league two)
If we do get relegated, I think there will be people far more culpable the Arnold in my opinion.

Fair enough if that is the case - and I am not aiming to have a personal pop at you. I am just trying to give Arnold some defence unlike some of the players in front of him too many times this season

75 seconds into the game, Derby keeper stands rooted to his line as ball is headed across goal from inside the 6 yard box, leading to a simple tap in. Whah has changed since the good old days when keepers were expected to command the 6 yard box and defenders pushed up, thus preventing the attackers from getting close to goal?

Arnold is a conference goalkeeper. That doesn’t mean he can’t and isn’t ‘doing a job’ for a poor League One side but that’s all he is. He very occasionally comes for a cross but they’re rarely the type to take the pressure off when under the cosh & his distribution is as bad as I have ever seen, the ones he hits low by accident or the many out of play, but worst of all his complete inability to set an attack off with a throw or kick. We normally wait for all 11 opponents to be back before he rolls it out, Ro Shaun Williams wasn’t ready for that when he started at Bristol Rovers.
He’s also had 2 fantastic games which I cannot be bothered to recall the opponent but definitely kept 3 or 4 out with some very solid goalkeeping. In many others, he’s not dived at all, nor done anything to help his defence in many of set pieces we’ve conceded. There’s probably 3-4 goals or so I think a better, more agile keeper saves & his mistakes i.e. Burton away, Wolves away were definitely clangers.
He’s just about enough to see this season out, but he ain’t a League One keeper.

He’s should be a back up keeper who could do a job for a few games.
I really don’t rate the bloke though, I see Sunday league keepers with way better distribution which is a worry.
I acknowledge any keeper we have, will have weaknesses. Take Leutwiler, wouldn’t catch the ball, didn’t really command his box and his kicking wasn’t the greatest. However, he more than made up with it with his superb shot stopping.
I just think Arnold has to many weaknesses and he doesn’t make up for them in another area of his game.
I hope he can prove me wrong and become a real asset for us over the next couple of months but I just don’t think he is very good at all.

Joe aHart has always had weaknesses.- he tends to punch crosses which are catchable and is beaten far to often low to his left. That said he hasn’t had a bad career in spite of that.

Can we all just applaud Arnold for his save in the 80th minute which probably carried the result tonight over the line?

He was class tonight. He stopped and held a few close ranged efforts and played very well.
He will do until the end of the season.

2 incredible saves from him tonight in the 78th and 84th minute. The former Doncaster fans were already celebrating and the latter surely one of the best saves I’ve seen by a Town goalie it was that good.
Arnold has my full support and may long it continue.

it would be harsh to have a pop at anyone who has kept a clean sheet but instead of picking out the bad bits all I'll say is I hope he gains confidence from tonight
I will say though, unlike recent games, he had a defence totally giving everything to prevent that ball going into the goal
instead of it being a surprise Saturday, we now expect it

Fair play, he did well last night.
Keep it up, maybe that performance could give him a bit more confidence.

I thought Arnold did well today, a good solid performance. A shame about his injury and I hope he can recover by next Saturday but if not it will show the value of having three goalkeepers on the books.

Personally felt a lot more assured when Mitchell was in goal.
Dominated his area from the first cross he had to deal with, unlike Arnold who was again rooted to his line!
I don’t wish an injury on any player, but hope Mitchell retains his place for the next game

To be fair, it's a bit difficult to form much of an opinion of Mitchell from his ten minutes on the pitch.

It’s not unusual for him to come out with such garbled rubbish . I think it’s as a result of him not emptying his bowels on a regular basis . Never mind , a barbed wire pull through should do the trick .
