Mildy just edges it for me, but I'm happy with both.
Mildenhall conceded at Dartford under (illegal) pressure. Puddy did the same at Dover. The key is getting a ref good enough to spot that a foul has been committed. In both cases the ref was well placed but seemed to get caught up in the "little old Dartford/Dover have just managed to score against the big team - good on them" - I hope we have someone more professional for the Play-Offs.

Just checked and we have kept 22 clean sheets, so if Puddy got 8 of them, 14 goes to Mildenhall. Any idea who has the best penalty saving record! Likely to be the most important attribute. The threat to our defence has been coped with so well that we haven't got enough evidence to say this season. I hope we are professional enough to practice this in training before Sunday, even to the extent of bringing the "specialist" penalty saver on in extra time if it comes to it.

Can't recall ever seeing Mildy save a penalty for us and can't recall Puddy having a penalty to attempt to save. As to Crater's bad positioning for McCrystal's back pass what utter nonsense. Never pass back to the centre of goal basic rule and 2) Puddy made no mistake with it. Having said that I would go with Mildenhall against forest Green because it will be an aerial bombardment and IMO Puddy is too short although many have a good case that Puddy is probably better at coming for crosses than Mildenhall. Play to our strengths and it shouldn't matter who is in goal.

Interestingly McCrystal didnt play vs FGR in either fixture, with Trotman and Parkes the pairing in both games. I think he would be a good match for Parkin. Dave Martin and Jamie White played in both, and further supports the fact we are now a completely different proposition from the previous 2 games.
Away:-
01 Mildenhall 04 Lockyer Booked 03 Brown 08 Clarke 15 Trotman Booked 06 Parkes 23 Monkhouse 07 Mansell 10 Taylor (White - 83' ) 27 Cunnington (Harrison - 49' ) 16 Martin (Sinclair - 78'
Home:-
01 Mildenhall 02 Leadbitter Dismissed 15 Trotman Booked 06 Parkes 03 Brown 23 Monkhouse (Martin - 22' ) 08 Clarke (White - 84' ) 07 Mansell Booked 11 Gosling 27 Cunnington 10 Taylor (Harrison - 65' )

Whilst Puddy may drop the vey occassional cross Mildenhall wouldn't even come for them. Regardless apart from the OP does anybody actually think this is worthwhile discussing as DC's never going to drop Puddy for Wednesdsay's game?

Sometimes it is better not to go for them rather than flap. I agree that Puddy does come for crosses but my worry is that he will be targetted because of his lack of height. To be honest there have not been many game3s in which either keeper has played where there has been a lot for them to do. I would edge with experience at this time but I am sure it won't matter because DC will stick with Puddy now.

My heart says Steve Mildenhall, but my head says Will Puddy, but in truth I'd be happy with whoever the manager selects on the day. I think that Steve's time here is almost up, like so many of the high-end earners from last season. Will Puddy has proved to be a more than adequate replacement, and I would imagine that his contract is nowhere near as generous as Mildenhall's. So I think it will come down to keeping the playing salary budget as low as possible. Of course that is all for the close-season, and for the time being we are all only really concerned with the next three games.
But I cannot see a reason for Darrell Clarke to change goalkeepers against FGR, cos Puddy's not done too much wrong since he came in. After the last few seasons it's a pleasant position to be in, to have two goalkeepers in contention for the First XI. Until recently we seemed to rely on loanees for that position.

And Taylor was still in his pub player phase.

I think we have 2 very capable goalkeepers but Mildy has the experience which could be vital in these situations, especially if we get to Wembley in front of a massive crowd.

I'm happy with whoever Clarke thinks is more up to it, Mildenhall will more than likely be gone in the summer regardless of league status so it probably won't be him; Mildenhall's rustiness will likely also count against him.

I'm not bothered. As long as they keep 3 more clean sheets

I've heard rumblings that Mildy is stuck on 29 league games for a reason

Puddy: P 14 W 8 L 1 GA 8 (0.57 per game)
Mildenhall: P 32 W 17 L 4 GA 26 (0.81 per game)
Also, Puddy distributes quickly so the team maintains momentum Mildenhall has a good look around and punts the ball up the field.

In the games that they have played
and rather ironically Mildy gets a 'clean sheet' vs Eastleigh, then Puddy gets a 'non clean sheet' when he comes of after mildy is sent off for a hack.

Mildenhall every day. Puddy makes a mistake every game (including v Alfreton when he virtually had nothing to do) When was that? I don't recall a mistake i think it was when their striker got his hat-trick. let that one right through his hands. silly boy.

Likely to be the most important attribute. don't think I've seen either save one. not sure if Puddy has even faced one. I think we've only give a few pens away this season.

When was that? I don't recall a mistake Out of position when McChrystal passed back...could have resulted in an OG (maybe being ultra harsh I admit). He's made roughly the same number of errors as Mildenhall has in a fraction of the games played though 1- great stats. really OPTA level there. 2 - I'm a muck around Centre half and even I know that the basic rule of being a centre-half is to put pass backs slightly wide of the goal just in case something weird happens, like a bobble, miskick, balloon on the pitch etc. Anyway, did it go in? No was it even close to going in? No.

I understand the distribution argument, though every time I've seen him kick he seems to send it straight into the crowd. The keeper should be there to do one main job, though... stand firm and keep out the opposition. I wonder who Parkes and McChrystal would feel safer in front of tomorrow? Exactly how many games is that then Nick? His distribution out of hands (throwing) is exc. His distribution kicking can be erratic. I agree on that. BUT do you remember Mickel Andersen only having one tactic? Kick it wide left to jeff Hughes. Boring? yes. Predictable? yes. Ordered by the manager? Yes. Effective? Most probably, given the option. could...um...there be some reason why Puddy ..um... kicks it wide left to Monkey, the tallest wide player we've had since...um ... Jeff Hughes?? And sometimes he gets it wrong, but does that make him a worst keeper than Mildy? I also remember the same with dave savage. Do the math as the Americans say.
