2020/21 Jordan Pickford

[arminisgod]

I always thought his distribution was meant to be good? It's dreadful

1 shot on target 1 goal, admittedly he could do nothing about that really, but as you say, that starjump, what on earth?

The angle was impossible, but his star jump made a goal actually possible, it defied sense why he felt he needed to even move for it.

I thought with Howard leaving we were saying good bye to star jumps.

Nothing he could do about the goal for me, no matter how much as ever people want to blame him for it, just the Midweek errors for me,

Not his fault for me

I think its more that he needs to read the game better. There was a point when we were in the lead and comfortable. He tried to rush a long throw and gave it straight to a palace player. There's times when you just want him to hold onto it. He only.seems to have one speed though.

If you watch little jordan as the corner is taken - he does a very odd flick with his leg - to me that screams the lads heads in the clouds, his concentration levels are undeniably poor as it is. It looks to have put him a second behind every other crystal palace player in our box. Yes, defensively other players should have done better. But should pickford be coming for balls that are in or about the 6 yard box? You'd like to see it wouldnt you. For me its that silly flick of the leg, at the worst possible moment, which has not allowed him any time to decide to come for the ball or stay rooted (as per) and its not allowed him set himself in anticipation for the header.. no keeper should be messing about flicking limbs about as a corner is being taken, surely. Didnt see it? Watch it again.

It’s more on them for sure. But he doesn’t help.

My limbs started flicking reading this.

If anyone can coach him out of this, it is Carlo. He tends to be able to build players confidence and support them , that's why the likes of James and Allan love him.
Whether Pickford is a step too far is a different matter.

 

[larbert toffee]

Wonder what Carlos going to do?

Thought you were going to be our next big thing in goal? what happened?

 

[Bob Elstone]

Should have saved that palace effort. Straight down the centre

This tbh.

Is there going to be an Xmas window this season? If so, I think JP is going to be with us, at least until January.

Like I said in an earlier post, our defence did very little in helping prevent the header on goal, as you can see from the first pic. In the second pic, it looks like Pickford hasn't even left the ground in an attempt to stop the ball despite it being almost above him. It was a combination of poor defending and goalkeeping in my opinion. But let's not take anything away from their goalscorer, it was an excellent finish and if one of our lads had scored like that we'd have been raving on about it.

Could be coming for it. Yeah, he's never saving the shot, but part of good goalkeeping is preventing shots in the first place and to me this one is one he could get to if he was good at coming for crosses.
