I think your miles wrong and it’s actually quite the opposite. I haven’t seen many not like Marciano in general so to say they are over playing his performance as they don’t like Marciano is rubbish. I have though seen people take the opposite and be very critical or reluctant to praise Macey because they were so invested in Marciano.

I know it’s natural to compare players it happens all the time but let’s not forget Macey is still a young guy with plenty development ahead of him. We need to support that and understand he won’t always get it right and should be criticised like any other player at times. I’ve said it before with our history of keepers I have seen more than enough to believe he will be a very good keeper for us.
Great and measured post. Don’t know why everyone seems to think you need to pick a side and stick to it.

Nobody is over praising Macey because they didn’t like Marciano. Marciano was pretty much universally liked to varying degrees. He wasn’t totally my cup of tea for several reasons but I felt he was a match winner on plenty of occasions as well as capable of making saves other goalies couldn’t. Macey though Is getting support because some people who now say ‘it’s too early to judge if he’s good’ were finding ways to imply he wasn’t up to it at a very early stage!

It’s always tough replacing fan favourites but Macey is looking extremely promising and everyone should be delighted- a bit weird if we’re not. He will make mistakes at some point … as every other goalie we’ve had including Goram and Leighton did.
