So basically he's crap. You've just mentioned all the qualities that a keeper needs which he has none of

He’s worse than crap, he’s appalling dealing with high balls. The rest of his game is good

Leo has the attributes to be a good keeper but I can’t remember seeing anyone as bad when I ball is floated into the box, his punches are weak and into the wrong areas, he flaps and is rash with his decision making.  He seems intent on making contact with the ball with no thought about where it’s going to end up. The communication between him and the defence is appalling. If he can’t sort this side to his game he will be a top keeper but it’s painful watching him at the minute

I didnt want to say anything but in the first 3 minutes he punched a corner straight down onto the penalty spot. He needs to be taken out this must be destroying his confidence. Its not doing mine any good either.

Broughton has managed to sign a goal keeper who does nothing but cost us goals and signed strikers who never score. The bloke is dreadfully out of his depth.

What's attributes??? He's weak in every department.

The goalie and GB are out of their depth.

Just what damage is this non goalkeeper doing to the back 4 ? 
They are tired , some unfit but, game after game they are now terrified with what’s behind them .He is simply not a keeper !

Yep..he's a real treat.  I have honestly never seen a worse run of "form" from any keeper ever. Look at Rotherhams in comparison. He's played very well today already.

So like, the Rotherham keeper is a good shot stopper, can command his defence, can claim crosses, quick off his line, strong in the challenge and decisive BUT can he play 6 yard passes out to his teammates?

Ha, thought not 🤔

Almost as if having a good keeper/defence is more important than a good set of forwards, but Venky's care not.

He conceded 4 the very next match.

We are fighting with one arm tied behind our back now with this lad in goal. The opponents know they can put an aimless ball in the box and stand a good chance of scoring. It just cannot be allowed to be a tactic for your opponent at this level!

[Neal]

Comfortably the worst keeper I've ever seen. Not just for Rovers. 

[Tom]

Blame has to be on the manager and goalkeeping coach as well, someone made a good point on twitter

If it’s blatantly obvious your man can’t claim a cross make sure he stays on his line at corners, at least he’s not leaving an open net then 

[BigBar]

You can see how Wahlstedts constant fuck ups effects the whole team. It knocks the stuffing out of them, all our good work undo by a keeper who can't keep a clean sheet most games, letting in the tamest of efforts and zero presence in his own box. Infuriating.

[Cherry Blue]

No bookings for pull backs then. Must be rule change.

Different ref, different interpretation of the rules - you know how it goes. 

[RTM08]

I get they're academt keepers but are Hilton and Eastham really that much worse than Leo?

[Blow-in]

Credit to both our fullbacks today, they have been very dangerous and positive.

[Tom]

Criminal if we don’t win this comfortably, but it’s gone from a case of ‘how many’ to ‘if’?

[davulsukur]

Rotherham hit the bar.

We all know, deep down, we are losing this.

[Exiled_Rover]

Boos at half time. I fucking hate our fans. 

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Jesus,we are really struggling.

We'll run out of steam after the hour, sub the kids on and get battered.

[rovers11]

Utterly dominant but the worst GK in the league has cost us again.

We have the two worst GKs in the league. 

[CambridgeRover]

I do not care how well Adam Wharton can pass a ball. He is a lazy shit who will not make it. Does not have any determination

[JohnD]

Had more than enough of this clown keeper, sub him off now and off load to the Sunday league.

[CambridgeRover]

Every person involved in signing this keeper needs sacking. The dof, the scout, any analyst
