2020/21 Jordan Pickford

[Gilbert..]

That save just before HT was great, scoring right before the break would have been so massive for them. In conditions as awful as tonight I was worried we'd see another clanger, though honestly I was shocked they didn't through more balls in the box to test him.

It's another clean sheet and his confidence should be high again now so hopefully it leads to more level-headed performances. Slowly coming back into form.

Tbh has he ever been in form to come back into?
I am sort of loathe to say it as he takes a shoeing so many times, mainly self inflicted, but the current style and back four have to take most of the credit.
Still need a new keeper imo.

It did. But I'll be frank I just dont; think he's been very good for a long time. He is getting better though, and I'm happy to admit that.

I still have deep reservations. Last season his form was terrible.

Totally competent at Sheffield. Everyone noticed the awkward one he pushed over the bar rather than try to catch it. Shades of Analfield that one.

It shows he is learning and maturing.Compared to Ramsdale he just dealt with things in a simple way.

He dealt with that one well. However, I’m still glad there is decent competition because it’s forced him to up his game.

At what point do we stand up and make a point for Pickford??....he's just as much a part of the second wind as the likes of Siggy,Iwobi,Mina,Godfrey....we have to let even the most criticized prove us wrong. Pickford's errors have been there for all to see but lets not all put our heads in the sand.... He's played his part just as much as everyone. Let's back him for god sake...as blues it can only be beneficial if anything.

Never been a Pickford hater myself. I think he’s a top class keeper well suited for the modern game.
Yes he has made a few more mistakes than we’d like over the last season or two but it’s so easy to make a scapegoat of your GK when things aren’t going well.

I agree with most things said on this page. I am no lover of Pickford by any means, in fact if you check back
on my first posts about him, you will see that I ridiculed him within a fortnight of signing him and I still believe
that he is a waste of space. Pickford Has never in my opinion committed a bad foul whilst playing for us, in
fact he is more of a 'scardie cat'. These clowns on tv and newspapers that are still slating him should cease
immediately and apologise for going too far.

What account did you post those under since you only signed up to GOT in 2019?

Will never be a Pickford's fan. But last night is how I want him to be.
You don't really notice him,. He is not the centre of attention and when called upon makes a decent save.
I can live with him if he did that nearly every game.

What do you think makes him top class and well suited to the modern game mate?

 

[Neiler]

For me its nothing to do with his ability, hes a really talented keeper, all psychological with Pickford for me. Been really encouraged by him of late.

Best ask that question of Southgate. Of course for all I know you might be much more knowledgeable than Southgate is, in which case you have missed your vocation. There is a vacancy for manager of the Solomon Islands football team. You might apply.

Where do I apply

That would be two applicants for the job then. Their big derby game is against Samoa. Your assistant manager there is a cracker. She wears a hula hula skirt. You can too if you want to.

I wasn't saying he was wrong mate, I was just interested in his perpective.

He's athletic and powerful, making up for his relative lack of size with agility
