Have just seen your post so apologise for the late reply. First I have never disrespected Jules in any way. As for Wayne I dislike the way he has been vilified on here mostly unfairly and has been blamed for almost every goal we've conceded this season. I just wish people would analyse the games in more detail especially events leading up to goals before automatically blaming Wayne.

I could be here a long time giving examples where he has been blamed unfairly but most people would have fallen asleep by then.

I would be quite happy if a better keeper than WH was found for us but that doesn't mean Wayne is useless as there are many keepers in the PL who are about the same standard as him. I'll give one example ie against Southampton he saved a fierce shot but it went out to an unmarked Saints forward who scored. That same week end I saw Courtois do the almost exact same save but the Chelsea defence were alert and cleared the ball. And in the WBA v Man City Cup game Ben Foster made a save but the ball was parried and Sane scored from the rebound. However Wayne was crucified on here for that goal but no-one blamed the defence in front of him for leaving the Saints player unmarked.

I could go on but will leave it there for now.

See, you're missing the point entirely. The crowd really shouldn't have been up for that all things considered. Two teams of Chelsea's calibre had just slapped 9 goals past us in the last two games and we were looking out to sea with no other reasons to be hopeful other than the return of Wilf and Speroni. You simply can't deny the effect Jukes had around the place. If you are denying it then you're
doing so to suit an agenda and nothing else.

Speroni has been at every home game for the last year, if he has such an effect on the crowd and players, why hasn’t it happened before?
Ok, he started last week, but if he is such an inspirational figure being in the ground should lift the crowd. I have nothing against him, but you are going a bit over the top regarding his contribution. The organisational work done by Hodgson and Lewington had are far bigger effect on the team.

I really find it hard to believe you typed that.

Susmilk , from your post to prove that Speroni comes off his line and commands the area should you not stop posting ? You clearly know nothing about goalkeeping.
