2017/18 Jordan Pickford

[Exeter Gently]

Just my opinion, think he's been dodgy for us so far.

You seen what's been in front of him so far?

Just my opinion, think he's been dodgy for us so far.

Doesn't help having poor central defenders in front of him, with different personnel being used from match to match. I'm a big fan of his, I'd suggest he has done ok so far, nothing more. But as others have pointed out, there are other areas of the team that are of more concern, than Pickford's form.

 

[MikeH72]

When Joel gave away a similar penalty he was crucified even though he'd kept more clean sheets than Pickford.

Pickford is a better keeper than Joel mate.

 

[Lanolin]

No matter how good you are as a keeper. If your D is dreadful it impacts your decision making. He likely has zero faith in his D and that makes it impossible as a keeper

Welcome to my world.

the defenders he has in front of him are no worse than what Robles had last season

 

[wba83]

He has been mate.

I refuse to accept that its just coincidence that we have a worst goals against record in decades since he's come in the side.

And yet supposedly, nothing ever seems to be his fault either?

what goalie would you have liked us to buy this su

player for player the defence is no worse than it was last years, yet the goals are being shipped...

defence is no worse than last year are you on a wind up defence was half decent last season this season woeful

Pickford is a better keeper than Joel mate.

Is he?

I think it's too early to judge. So far I think Pickford is decent but nothing more and I thought Robles was decent as his record for us proved.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Great point and I think we won that game fairly comfortably as well?

Pickford is a very dodgy keeper IMO it will become clearer as the season goes on but I'd be happier to see Robles in for now.

Yeah mate, 100% is. Seen plenty of both to judge.

I personally wouldn't even call him decent and there is statistical evidence to back that up.

 

[Toffee in Jandals]

Odd decisions by him today. I always think when keepers all of a sudden come rushing off their lines it betrays nervousness / lack of confidence in his defenders.

Robles who literally runs away from the ball like he did at Anfield? Yeah what a safe pair of hands he is.

Wobble yer head.

 

[jinkyali]

Unbelievable scenes in here

Check the number of clean sheets Robles had.

 

[MikeH72]

Check the number of clean sheets Robles had.

More than happy to revisit this in 12 months when Pickford is England number 1 and Robles is consolidated 16th with Levante x
