Spot on with both points, it's baffling with Hladky for sure
Hladky was never a Premier League keeper, he was another who made numerous errors playing out from the back and given the speed of some of the players in the prem, mistakes he got away with in the Championship would be punished at this level. I think both he and McKenna were well aware of his limitations and here we are now and he can’t even get get a start at Burnley. In my opinion we should stop thinking about Hladky and move on.
Really?

I don't think Hladky made very many errors at all tbh, and he certainly didn't give away possession at every opportunity. If he wasn't a Premier League keeper then God knows what we've got now.
Totally agree

He kept Walton out of the squad for considerable time (who himself did a commendable job for us over time) so Hladky must have been doing something right. I find it hard to knock either player, all right they may have had their individual faults or didn't give 100 per cent each and every game but then again how many actually manage that. Hladky alone, all you can measure up is that he was (or remains) a competent player that won the team many points during his time here. Would we have finished runners-up in the Championship league without him, it's certainly open to question.
Muric seems to get berated too often I find this season. That's not to say it's necessarily justified however (I) don't always feel we're best suited to employ him as first choice. Walton needs to be involved again right from the start, I kind of miss his first team involvement but McKenna will see no reason to change any time soon unless Muric really stagnates into something sub-standard in the weeks and months ahead.

Absolutely, what purpose does it serve ?
