Not in the slightest and hes going to keep that shirt for along time to come.

 

[Eddie.]

Alan Kelly - USA 94

But did anyone put any money on it?

With hindsight I'd stick a pony or a monkey on it 😕

Fairly rare for the forum to almost unanimously get it right on a player!

 

[Enola Gay]

And yet, this season, I don't think either he or Butland have been as good as Pope.

He's overrated... 😉

 

[mozzchops]

I think we will find out he’s close to world class in this World Cup. Top 5 possibly.

 

[Longsands]

Knew he was top drawer after his performance V MK Dons away during our first season back in the championship.

 

[justinr73]

Yeah I was there as well.

Told plenty he’d play for England.

Bit like the time I saw Keane play in a pub a good while back. The band I mean.

Pope's kicking is what let's him down. We're it not for that I think he'd have been competing for the number 1 spot rather than going as number 3

People's kicking is what let's him down. We're it not for that I think he'd have been competing for the number 1 spot rather than going as number 3

Pickfords kicking was never great Paddy....

Should have said Pope's...

But yeah that's true. It has gotten better though and his distribution is usually on the money now.

 

[Regardless]

Just like Beckham, Welbeck and Carrol... Pickford took away a bit of stardust from Deepdale. They'd be nothing without us 🙂

totally agree with this comment as he dominated the box when we were down to 10 men,,,,

though Claret mates tell me Pope dominates his box too.....

?????


I think those in the game might disagree lol

Ive never seen a better distributor of the ball, between the sticks, ever.
