He hasn’t improved in the last 18 months and is showing no signs of improving any of the weaknesses in his game. I think he is a championship play-off chasing team player and no more.

Well we differ on opinion then cos I think he has changed loads he is stronger and much better with his feet but hey see what happens and if you get your wish we will see how that goes

He isn’t class at all. He’s really average. He’s a good shot stopper but the rest of his game is lacking. Weakest link in the team for me and the position we need to improve on first and foremost if we ever want to get into and then stay in the PL.

Couldn't have put it better myself.

A top goalkeeper can win you a good deal of points over the course of a season (see Burnley & Stoke)

Actually, that’s put it better than I did. When we got promoted under Roy Keane he knew the value of a top goalkeeper, a one that wins you games, having played alongside Peter Schmeichel for all those years, so he went out and bought Craig Gordon. He was a massive step up from Darren Ward who was perfectly competent but needed to be upgraded on.

First down the tunnel, didn’t paid the fans from what I saw, probably didn’t want his uber eats delivery to get cold.
If we had a competent No 2 he would be binned, we haven’t so we’re stuck with lard arse.
 
I think he needs dropping like.

The tyre around his midriff is surely reason enough. At this level in the modern game it's unheard of. I've been a bit of a defender of him and thought criticism was harsh but that second goal last night man. What the fuck was he doing.

Drop him and send him on a fitness course. That may well sort his head out too so he can make better decisions.
 
We won’t drop him as we’ll be hoping to get a decent bid for him in the summer, dropping him now for Moore will knock a good few million off his valuation
 
His kicking has never been worse than it is now and he's an supposed athlete who is obviously overweight.

He needs to look in the mirror and double down on his training and diet, get his head back in the game, he always looks sick of his life.
 
Objectively, he’s a decent Championship keeper who’s kept us in games at times this season. Frustratingly, his distribution can be poor & he seems to have more fear of crosses than Dracula. If/when we go up, you’d think we’d need to get a keeper upgrade. Subjectively, he’s a Poundland Pickford

Much better with his feet? He’s getting worse - 3 or 4 times each game he tries to spray it to the fullback and it sails over their heads
 
Surely has to be one we look at improving. For a team who for the majority play out the back, to have a keeper who can hardly pick a man out with his kicks just doesn't make sense. Automatically invites pressure onto us.

Embarrassing man. Im sure the staff at SAFC will know his conditioning more than a bloke on a message board.
