I know Silvestri made some absolute howlers on Saturday and he does quite a bit. But he also does keep us in lots of matches. I think he's a great keeper for this level and he's only 24. 24 is much younger than first thought for a goalie and he can only get better with experience like them mistakes. Obviously Saturday's result was almost all down to his performance. But I don't think we should call for him to leave. Maybe a better 2nd keeper to keep the pressure on. But he definitely shouldn't be sold.

Need a good goalie coach or someone who can challenge for his place and sit him on the bench for a couple. Very good goalie but obviously not being coached right or is too complacent.

Silvestre has improved of late and is a good shot stopper however if he was commanding of his box he may reduce the amount of saved he has to make. The defense needs to be stronger but a quality keeper is a supporting factor in this. Don't disagree he can improve and suggest he already has but he definately needs pressure from a good number 2.

Dont think he is good enough really. Too many mistakes. Granted he makes good saves but let's be honest all goalies do at Championship level. His all round game is not good enough. Kicking, catching and commanding the area are all poor. The best goalkeeping coach in the world cannot improve this geezer to a standard that is needed.

I agree. Waaaay to dodgy a goalkeeper. He needs time to mature behind a solid number one.

Look at the previous gk's we've had over the past years.

Martyn, Robinson, Sullivan, ankergen, kasper.

Can you really compare Silvestre to any of these (other than the 2 whilst we were in league 1 to which I would say he is on par at best) ?

Surely we need to be moving forward and to have a goalkeeper that commands from the back and the defence the rest of the team has full confidence is is imperative.
