Broadly agree, albeit he went with his wrong hand for their first goal, which was a shame. Still a rookie, but seems marginally less frail than Button and he has already made a few fine saves. Watford went through us like a knife in butter yesterday, our defence can't deal with that level of pace & power.

[Adamstv]

For what it's worth I don't blame Griffiths for any of the goals yesterday. I feel its harsh to put any blame on him for the first one he was scrambling and not really in a position to do much.

Agree with this

I’m sure he’ll get better the more he plays. Button won’t. If it’s either Button or Griffiths I’d rather Griffiths.

Button has no future really. Griffiths potentially does

[Fritzl Palace]

Wrists were painfully weak against Blackburn to cost us the win in that one, and didn't cover himself in glory with the first Watford goal, but certainly worth persisting with over Button who has had 15-20 games this season and has looked awful in the majority of them. The lad clearly has potential, best to expose him to first team football now so he can learn at the deep end until Palmer is back

Plan to watch the highlights later but from memory I was more concerned with Townsend for the first goal from my position in the back row to the centre of Block V1. Personally thought Griffiths did himself no harm last night. We were far too easy to play against as a team at times though.

It’s very easy to stop the criticism of Josh…just put button in for the 0-6 pasting from Boro ..

We all know the serious limitations of CT, Atomic aside, and last night, despite his goal, he was fairly awful again.

I felt, other than the first goal where it started with a poor kick from Griffiths and ended with a weak attempt at a palm away, he played quite well last night so I was not as concerned moving forward as I was after Blackburn where he looked extremely nervy and cost us the equaliser.

[Baggies]

Would like a goal keepers opinion on the first one, I find it hard to comment too much other than my gut instinct said he could have maybe done a bit better. He was however wrong footed.

The defence gave Griffiths too much to do last night for him to avoid the rest, he made 3 decent saves and still let 3 in, ehich shows the defence ultimately failed.

First clean sheet of many. He’s one of England’s best young keepers and he should remain in the team even when Palmer is back. Give him 30 games and there’ll be clubs from the PL offering big money for him. He’s that good.

[gazberg]

HAppy for the lad to get his first clean sheet for us! Well done Josh.

[stoxman]

Two fabulous saves today.  Well done Josh!

[gazberg]

Forgot about his save in the 9th minute or whatever it was. Fantastic.

[BalisPen]

Well done young Joshua, your first baggies clean sheet was very welcome.

Keep up the good work.

The decision to give Button 2 years was absolutely lazy mistake.

[SirTonyM]

Having a keeper the defence feel confidence in is huge. Looking more assured with each game.

Definitely.
You can see his confidence growing and the defence feels more at ease. I hope Palmer struggles to get back in. Not because I don't rate him, i absolutely do, but I think we have 2 of the best young keepers in the league and if Josh does well he deserves to make Alex fight for his place.

Good performance from Josh today, two fine saves, pleased for him that he got his first clean sheet, but I have to say that Alex Palmer for me is straight back into the team when he is fit again.

[tegga]

Looking from the Brummie road I was certain they were going to score late on. It looked like the goal was wide open for their player to slot it in, but Griffiths made an absolutely wonderful save.

I agree with you. It’s great to see Josh doing so well now though.

Really? One is a future England number 1 and the other will stay as a decent championship keeper. Griffiths is our only hope of getting out of this financial mess we’re in. He’ll be sold for big money at some point within the next 24 months, providing we continue to give him game time.

Yes really 
I think you are getting carried away. Palmer was excellent for us.

He was poor in games against Luton and Burnley.

. Its only 3 games since he cost us 2 points, and he was at fault for the first Watford goal. See ease up on the complete hyperbole.
Fantastic to see him keep his first clean sheet.....more of the same please, Josh

[Atomic]

Excellent today. Not much to do but an important save first half and a magnificent stop right at the end.
