Pope

Some great jumping saves from Rams tonight.

Got me thinking that I cant remember much from Pope. If someone pays more attention to goalies, does he in fact jump less after his injuries?

Pope's shoulder injuries have really impacted his levels. He's not won us games this season, not making a game saving stop.

Once again, a brilliant transition player who has done us proud since he joined but this summer it's time for the next step up.

Rambo as a No.2? Ok, first choice, no. He hasn't kept a single clean sheet in a NUFC shirt.

That needs to be resolved.

With Pope signing en extension 2027, Rambo won't stay, he'll go back to Southampton after the loan and Pope will become 2nd choice keeper.

A new No1 goalie is the priority position this summer.

Pope here until 2027 I am ok with, but not as our No.1

Ramsdale is not the answer, he has been relegated 4 times

There is definitely something off there. He is a decent keeper, but we need better.

We need a leader from between the sticks, someone who isn?t afraid to open their mouth and organise the lads stood in front of them.

And someone who will bullock them if they let someone get a shot off.

Don?t ask me who that is, but all the talk of this leadership group of players, make sure the new goalie is in there.

Obviously they also need to be able to catch a ball 🤣
