He worries me right now because he doesn't seem to be in the zone.

A confident and consistent Ross Fitzsimons is perfectly fine, but its getting him to that level where he's comfortable and ready.

I think he follows Nolan's instructions, as did Collin.

I want a backup keeper, if performances don't go our way and we end up getting draws. How much of a difference would playing Pindroch make? I think he's a disaster waiting to happen. Sign a keeper on loan, the rest is fine.

If he's not, Notts are in trouble.

He will grow in confidence and as the team performances increase. If Kevin Nolan is telling Ross to hold onto the ball to delay pressure from the opposition he needs to allow the keeper to call things by how he sees things. Ross Fitzsimons just needs backing!

@Piethagoram of course, my point is the selective criticism.

If a bag had been placed over Fitzsimons head against Colchester and Collin hadn't of been released, you would never have known it was Ross playing. 

Look at Accrington Stanley, last season, their success was purportedly on the 23rd lowest budget..and their recruitment was spot on. Chapman, I think was a reserve keeper at Chesterfield, was outstanding ..so much so, he had caught the scouting eye of Steve Evans and off to Peterborough he went

@upthepies Collins was allegedly one of the 4 highest earners last season ( guessing Forte, Stead, O'Connor being the other 3...stand to be corrected). The Club''s budget seemingly was reviewed and more emphasis was put on the forward line, so the 2 strikers were signed (for L2 significant fees too). I think there is no magic money tree left for a goalkeeper and that Fitzsimons will have a chance to establish himself again

I'm quickly losing faith in him, I want him to do well because he impressed me last season but so far he looks worse than Collin.

He wasn't helped today by some inept defending by Brisley in particular. Cambridge's 3rd, defenders just not marking, what can a keeper do with that

The first goal was all Fitzsimons faults, he's not commanding enough and he's overrated by some.

To be perfectly honest, I have always said that the issue is the defence. Maybe it's the fault with their instructions or maybe they are simply not good enough? Our last three keepers have had similar issues, so it would lead me to believe that it's quite possibly a mixture of this and the keeper themselves.

Fitzsimons can be a good keeper, I feel he can grow into the role but it may cost us promotion this season.

It's also very harsh how Brisley has one bad game but he gets singled out, Duffy isn't a saint and some have said he's at fault for the last goal.
