Fans deliver brutal verdict
Darren Randolph has come under fire for his recent performances culminating in a display at Sunderland which saw him concede two soft goals – one from a clear foul he failed to protest.

O Dreadful ‘keeping, but I just cannot understand why, when we score a goal, we slow it down, and play backwards!
Drives me nuts! We’re much better playing a faster tempo & pushing forward-so we do the opposite!

O I really could only see one winner in that last 10 mins, and it wasn’t us. So many backward passes. Sure some will be blaming Gold and Sullivan but there was one chief culprit today – RANDOLPH!!
O Dont blame Randi blame the man who keeps putting him in and passing Adrian over if Slav had a mirror in his office he would fall out with himself
O I take the point but “don’t blame Randolph” for appalling mistakes and letting him down = Blimey
O Slav has an issue with Adrian and needs grow up stop the stubbornness and play Adrian that’s my point Randi is a sub goalie at best
OProbably the worst keeper in the prem at the moment ! He was only a good shot stopper before turning into McKnight anyway ! Doesn’t command his penalty area, weak on all crosses, & his kicking is laughable ! But then who keeps picking the clown ?
O When Adrian was having his repeating nightmare, the call from all and sundry was “get rid and get Randolph in”. Now it’s “get rid and get Adrian in”. I’m not defending Randolph. I certainly think he’s outstayed his welcome. But so many supporters have very short and selective memories.
O To me, the whole point of having two, is to play the one ‘in form’. Adrian definitely needed a rest/wake-up call, but we’ve stuck with Randolph too long-should’ve been swapped back weeks ago.
O Has been making the same mistakes for a while now and his hesitancy from crosses/set pieces just creates nervousness at the back. At least whatever Adrian does, he fully commits to. Adrian has to come in for the rest of the season.
O Not convinced Adrian is much better though
