For the champ he’s sound. I honestly think he’d be a laughing stock in the prem just because of how slow he is on the ball + poor at distributing. Would love to be wrong tho

I’ve seen him linked to Spurs as their number 2.

Imagine him trying to play it out from the back in his limited appearances. He’d be found out more than Forster was last week.

Championship is his level.
 
Honestly? I think we could do with better. I don't think he was necessarily at fault today but his distribution isn't the best and he's not commanding in the box. When team's do pump the ball into our box he's often pinned to his line, he rarely comes for the ball, perhaps it's due to a lack of confidence and he's fearful of dropping it.

For me he’s over weight and just not good enough. He’s the weak link in my opinion. I’ll take the pelters but he’s clearly the not commanding his area and his punts up field don’t make it up field. Every where else we look ok.

Don’t be stupid he isn’t the weak link in the side conceding stupid goals doesn’t help matters

He's not a weak link at this level. He's a very good Championship GK who will probably play as a PL keeper one day reasonably soon. I just don't think he is the one that will be our consistent No.1 in 2 years time. It feels like he's a placeholder for Matty Young to swoop in and take his spot in the long run.

As with any older player when a younger one starts challenging them, the fans will nit pick everything in the hope that the younger lad gets an opportunity.

If I go through our 11 I see him as the weak point. That’s all I’m saying.
 
The amount of goals we concede from balls into the box is high. I feel like some and by no means all are claimable balls for a keeper. The equaliser today is not a whipped in ball,could he get there? Possibly. But Mepham is flat footed,onien is on the floor and Neil wrong side of man attempts to tackle with wrong foot too.
Patterson is a problem with his commanding but the defenders have difficulty clearing their lines and resetting for some reason 2

I disagree we are solid and a better keeper would strengthen us sell now

I think a top keeper claims that ball in he’s consistently rooted to his line.
