Daniel Iversen

I think it’s natural many will lean more to Iverson due to the length of time he’s been here compared to Pickford

A lot of recency bias on show here I reckon. Pickford single handedly won us so many points in that 6 month spell, I’ve never seen a goalkeeping performance like Birmingham at home where he saved about 8 Demarai Gray one on ones. Burnley away too he was an absolute joke.

Iversen’s handling and distribution is not close to Pickford’s imo, as I said the other week I would probably say that they are extremely close in shot stopping and tough to pick between them but overall I’d have Jordan every day of the week.

I see your logic with the recency bias and it is a very close call with Pickford being an exceptional keeper but for me it’s Iversen.

I do agree re distribution, Iversen does need to brush up on that, Pickford is ahead of him in that department.

But on the whole I still say Iversen and I have done for a while. He’s single handedly won us points this season and last. Week in, week out he’s the top performer making team of the week and just pulling off wondersaves like it’s no big deal. We’re so used to them now they’re almost expected.

His save at Ewood Park against Armstrong, I’ve never seen anything like it, that’s a goal with any other keeper in the English football pyramid. Then you have the Bournemouth one not long ago, the guy really is superhuman. If he can improve his distribution to Pickford levels then he’s going to be a top international goalkeeper for many years to come.
 
I have hopes that we'll get him back at least for next season. I would hope that we'd break the bank to sign him properly, it would be a very wise investment that would not depreciate. If he was willing to sign for us it has to be done. If the only option is just one more season on loan, then do it, whatever the fee. Fingers crossed Leicester are happy with either of those.
 
Superb keeper and we need to accept he won't be here next season, he will ne Leicester number one at some point. Only chance we have is he goes back, signs a new big contract and he comes back here on loan again. He's the second best keeper I've seen at Deepdale, I still think Pickford was better is every department and think some have forgotten how good he was here. A good example is , laser Scmeichel is keeping Iverson out of the Leicester and Denmark side, if Pickford was playing for Leicester and Denmark, he'd get in above Kapser IMHO.
 
Probably rubbish but I was told by someone on the match yesterday we had the chance to sign Iversen for £1.4m in his first season for us, but Neil said no - if anything it would have been Trevor Hemmings surely. Probably rubbish either way ... But it does spark the question: How much would Leicester want for him now if they would consider selling him?

You would have to assume 8-10m surely.

True. Some folk think it makes them seem more of a supporter for some reason, insisting anyone currently playing for PNE is better than a player who no longer does. We see it all the time. We even had a thread not long ago suggesting McCann was better than Pearson.

Aye, personally I think Iversen can be very dodgy on crosses and we've conceded numerous goals because of it.

Pickford's decision making at crosses was always spot on.

I think Leicester had knocked back £3M from Brentford that summer so I’d be sceptical about them willing to sell him and certainly at £1.4M.

£10 million at least

I feel iversens gentle, quiet nature also wins him some plaudits! Ive loved every one of nobbers keepers I've ever seen live, they're either great or mental....both great to watch! Pickford is a cock, but his ability to start attacks helps immensely, imagine having that distribution when you have a back 3 of non playing centre halves being forced to play football 😮‍💨

To be fair when Pickford played we had a back three of Clarke, wright and hungtington who couldn’t play with the ball at their feet even if they were forced too.

No one is saying that iverson is a better keeper than Pickford so you must be seeing things no one else is.
It’s a debate about who was the better keeper for us. Pickford made world class saves like Burnley away and Birmingham at home but so has iverson. In fact I feel iverson is a better shot stopper overall. The two saves he made against Bournemouth gained us three points.
Where Pickford beats iverson though is distribution and commanding of his area.

And no I’m not talking about now as pickford is clearly better but in three or four seasons iverson has the potential to get to that level and become an international keeper for Denmark.
