Why does he need a fine?
It was a naive thing to do, but it was split second and hardly premeditated. He hardly touched Fletcher who collapsed like he had been shot.
Stupid yes. Inexcusable no.

You are overlooking how many points he has earned us though. Do you think we would be in play off contention if we had played 31 games with Horvarth in goal?
I dont, hope he proves me wrong, would be delighted if he puts in performances that make it difficult for Samba to take the shirt back but Im worried tbh.

NFFC Goalkeepers since we have been in the Championship from 2007 on:
Paul Smith
Rune Pederson
Lee Camp
Karl Darlow
Dimitar Evtimov
Dorus De Vries
Stephen Henderson
Jordan Smith
Vladimir Stojkovic
Stephanos Kapino
Costel Pantillimon
Arijanet Muric
Evan Horvarth
Those of you that think he is a liability and we could do so much better please tell me how many out of the list above are better than Samba? Where are all these better keepers in the EFL? How many of the above were making these “standard saves that any decent keeper would make”.
Possibly De Vries was decent for 1 season. Darlow went on to be OK but he had some right shockers in his time here. Dont get me started on the rest, check out the Youtube vid of Villa v Forest in the 5-5 game, we had Pants in goal, he didnt so much as move for 3 of the goals, shocking keeper.
Yep Samba infuriates me at times too, actually his mistake vs Leicester annoyed me more than today because it was deliberately casual. Absolutely he needs a serious bollocking for today but he has saved us on many games this season and he is the best keeper on that long list above in my opinion and certainly one of the best in the Championship.

Alot of back up goalkeepers mentioned above not sure why.
I would take De Vries, Camp and Darlow over Samba any day of the week.

The manager needs to pull him to one side and bollock the clown, he needs to realize that he is part of a team that relies on him, he needs to be told to cut the shit out and act like a professional.

He's been a bit of a liability for 2 games out of the last 3 now, maybe a rest on the sides will do him good, he has Ryan Yates to thank for the reaction not being much worse than it was today.
COYR!
