I don’t think he inspires confidence and I wouldn’t want him as first choice but he’s done a steady job since he’s been back in the team.

Shaky in his first game at Preston but didn’t cost us anything and I don’t think he’s been the reason we’ve dropped any points, credit where it’s due.

Hopefully Toth knows he has to be on his toes to keep his place at least now.

I absolutely think he has cost us points vs having Toth in goal. The sudden change in goals conceded when Toth got injured tells the story.

However, he has not really cost us any points vs a typical bog standard Championship keeper and hasn't made many obvious mistakes. And that's good by his standards, and as you suggest, befitting of a second choice keeper.

This season we conceded more goals per game with Toth in goal than we have with Pears.

I'm talking about immediately following the injury. The defence had found its way recently, doesn't seem a coincidence they suddenly started conceding again.

You seem to be imagining that what you thought would happen when Pears came into the side did happen.

It didn't.

We had just kept two clean sheets in a row. We then conceded in every single game until the Millwall game.

Clutching a straws a bit no matter how you frame the stats. He conceded 4 in first 4 games, same as Toth last 4 games.

I don't need to clutch at straws. Toth is a superior goalkeeper, end of discussion really.
