2019/20 Jordan Pickford

[jayonenote]

I think he’s scared to come and claim the ball when a good cross comes in. Nick Pope was claiming balls on Thursday that Pickford wouldn’t go near

Pope is a very good ( and underated) goalie.

Ok that's were we differ then. I think his height stops him from being a top class keeper. I go back to the cup game penalty shoot out. I was in the street end schmeichel near enough filled the park end goal Pickford looked lost in it. I'd love to see Pickford command his box at corners and free kicks and pluck the ball out of the air but it hardly ever happens. My heart is in my mouth every corner or free kick. And yes it's not just Pickford's fault but the team as a whole. But as a defender you gain confidence knowing that anything high in the air and the goalie will have it. That didn't happen with Jordan. Jordan is an adequate keeper who is a decent shot stopper but for me personally he makes too many mistakes and didn't command his penalty box

If you're saying that Pickford's height stops him being a top class keep then you're saying Southall wasn't a top class keeper. That's my point.

Good first half

 

[MarkHollis]

Comfortable throughout apart from the odd miskick or communication error. Showed up those horsepunching losers

 

[stretford blue]

Good game and didn't get involved with the crowd

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Kept his head today over the heckling. Proud of him for this. Great save too from Sharr early on. That's my boy.

 

[Niapper]

Should continue being commanding in the box like in the last moments of the game

 

[ossie_21]

Used his t-Rex arms to great effect when claiming the high ball a few times

 

[nsno-chris]

Sell and replace

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Commanded his box today.

 

[Amw79]

Solid today. Kept his head. Didn’t mess around with the ball at the back which would give the crowd a lift. Just cleared his lines.

Few beers tonight for Jordan I reckon, did well again today

If you're saying that Pickford's height stops him being a top class keep then you're saying Southall wasn't a top class keeper. That's my point.

Different game now though mate center forwards and center half's are nearly all about 6.4

 

[Bluepablo]

Good game today. Most crosses I have seen him take. Change of manager.? Just needs to work on his distribution.

....that was better, much less scary than last season.
