Have you seen the highlights?
It was a good save, but not world class and in my opinion no where near enough to make up for his terrible effort for their goal.
He could've stood still and saved the damned shot he dived out of the way of it!

Don't think you can blame Chapman for their goal.
Eisa outmuscled Forbes in the box & hit it almost at point blank range over Chapmans head. He certainly didn't 'dive out the way'.
If Jackson had scored it we'd all be celebrating a brilliant goal.
As for his last minute save. World class or not - it was the difference between one point & none!
Hear.......Hear.......Mi Lord! Let's not start blaming who did what when. Good tactics by Gary Johnson stopped us playing our normal game, and we were below par on Saturday. Two away games gives Coley a chance to sort their heads out..... before two key home games (ignoring the Trophy!).
Anyone know why Conneely was taken off with only 5 mins to go?
Is he injured or was it tactical?
If it was tactical it was a bit late in the day.

Didn't only see the highlights, saw the whole game live at the Crown - did you?
Seems for some people Chapman is the new whipping boy - the highlights only showed one of the two brilliant saves he made close together towards the end of the match
Who'd be a goalie eh???
Goals aren't always conceded when they pass the goalkeepers hands.
Sometimes they're created in the opponents penalty area, from a mistake or a miss-pass.
Last year, Chapman spent all season warming the bench.
The only time he got on the field was a half-time kick about with the subs
But he always had a smile on his face & accepted his no.2 role with good grace.
He may not be the best keeper in league 2, but he's our keeper & the only one we've got.
I for one think he's played well so far this season.
Let's all give the guy a break.

Lord Stiff - I think you have summed Chappers up nicely.
I have to admit that from what I saw of him last year he massively unnerves me and deep down I know I would welcome Jeff back with open arms. That might just be paranoia on my part.
However, I do like his attitude and have to say that he hasn't made any out and out blunders of late. Maybe he could have done a bit better with a couple of goals (debateable) but no doubt the same could be said of many a keeper.
He's doing a decent job, playing as well as his abilities allow and you can't have a go at a chap for that.

I doubt very much if he was at the game, everyone yon knows damn well there were 2 good saves near the end, yet sam dont seem too.
Lord Stiff- Chapman was effectively our no1 till Rodak came in (January).
He wasn't up to it last season and doesn't look good enough this season hence why we've brought in 2 other keepers.
Not having a go at him he's a good bloke (and our only fit keeper)and I'm sure he's doing his best and I would love nothing more than to be proved wrong.

He has made some brilliant saves this season.
Of course you are. You are like those people who preface a statement by "Without being disrespectful...." and then utter words of total disrespect.
I would have thought that those two awesome saves near the end on Saturday proved you wrong. But I strongly suspect that nothing he does could ever prove you wrong.
No denying he's made some great saves and kept us in the game at times eg Notts County.
Overall not good enough- that's why we brought the guy in from Sunderland.
Again though, would love to be proved wrong.

Rubbish we brought the guy in from Sunderland cos we had only 1 keeper. plus a kid.
'Rubbish we brought the guy in from Sunderland cos we had only 1 keeper. plus a kid.'
We brought the guy from Sunderland in as our No1 with Chapman as back up. That's why he replaced Chapman against the Shrimps.

From the website. Unless the impact referred to was Matt Macey I'd say he was brought in to be No1.
'Accrington Stanley have taken Polish goalkeeper Max Stryjek on loan until the end of the season.
Manager John Coleman said: “We have beaten off a couple of clubs to get him which is a coup for Accrington as we usually get the last pick.
“He is highly thought of, he has played for Polish Under 21s. Hopefully he will have the same impact as goalkeepers at Accrington have had in the past.” '

Pleased to say Chapman was solid against Port Vale.
