But speaking to the Advertiser, the gaffer praises the big man and backs him to come good.
"Scott's performance levels are not what they were at the back end of last season, Everyone has bad games, no matter if you are a striker or a goalkeeper, I think I had one back in 1984!"
"We accept that he is not on top of his game but he has been doing good things as well. He has made fantastic saves at key stages in games. He is still a top-class goalkeeper so people shouldn't be too concerned, they have to remember we are 13 games unbeaten in the league and Scott Shearer has played every one. He’s replaced Andy Warrington who had a special place in the affection of our fans and perhaps that might have an effect for some people."
"But I understand when people have been raising an eyebrow with the goals we have been conceding, where Scott, by his own admission, could be doing better."
Evans is under pressure from some supporters to play Adamn Collin who joined the Millers in the summer from Carlisle, "There's always an opportunity for Adam Collin to play. But you don't get left out of the team here for one or two mistakes. We buy into people long term. Scott Shearer will be a big part of what we do in the season ahead."
"There are some up-sides for playing Shearer and there will be some up-sides to playing Adam Collin and I am looking forward to the debate when I discuss it with my staff."
