He might have made some good saves, but are we naive to think distribution isn't just as important? Consistently kicking it out not only loses possession but it sucks the morale and confidence out of the rest of the players and even the fans. Obviously our midfield couldn't pass it to save themselves but at least they were under some pressure. There is no excuse for a keeper at that level to not be nailing their kicks, at worst 50% of the time. Christ Tom, even you managed to hit my head most of the times you aimed for it!
And the only reason Montano kept losing the ball is because Carney and Griffiths were hugging the sideline. If those two moved in and supported him, then it might have been a different story.
