    Neil Etheridge # a positive thread

    we've got the negative Ralls thread so lets have a positive thread.

    Etheridge is the only player to come out of last night with credit. His shot stopping was sensational again. The lad is a class act.

    I might be blown out of the water by someone with stats here but it seems to me that Championship keepers tend to make the step up to Premier League level a bit easier than outfield players. You often get keepers who thrive and look like they were born to be there

    Yeah I think that's right, it's such a specialist position, probably the majority of goalkeepers in the championship wouldn't look out if place in the premier League, whereas for other positions you couldn't say the same.
    I guess there are a lot less of them getting game time i.e. there are only 20 goalkeepers getting regular game time in the premier League, while 20 defenders in the top 4 or 5 clubs alone are regularly playing.

    He’s certainly making a name for himself we might struggle to keep him in the summer

    Other than his shot stopping which has been as good as it was last season, his kicking has also improved in the last 6 weeks massively. I worried at the start of the season that his skewed kicking might cause us problems, but he seems to have got a grip over that, which is a credit to him, clearly training hard. For me, he's our player of the season so far.

    I think he's the best British born goalkeeper in the PL, certainly better than Pickford.

    He also has by far the biggest social media presence out of anyone in the squad.
