merlin Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 He doesn't make many mistakes but the one today could have been catastrophic had they scored because we would have then been facing another Bus Parked battle at which we are notably poor. Recovered well though and I still rate him our best keeper. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Recovered well though and I still rate him our best keeper. He's made a few mistakes lately, cost us a few goals this season. Overall though, still looks our best keeper.

Sho Time Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 He's very capable of dropping a clanger, even more capable of pulling off an absolutely unreal save. He's a million miles ahead of Sels, but don't think he's as good as Krul. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 He's not in the same league as Krul tbh. Loads of time to improve, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 He's not in the same league as Krul tbh. Loads of time to improve, though. Don't think they're that far apart given Krul's absolute nosedive. I can see Darlow being our number 1 for years to come but he'll have to improve, which I think he will.

Dr.Spaceman Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 We've definitely seen much worse keepers in the Premier League over the years. Hell, I'd bet he's better than Mannone and Gomes for starters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 He'd quite clearly not be the worst keeper in the PL. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted January 24, 2017 Share Posted January 24, 2017 If Bournemouth sign Begovic, I'm struggling to see many Premier League teams he'd go into as first-choice like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
captainhaircut Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 If Bournemouth sign Begovic, I'm struggling to see many Premier League teams he'd go into as first-choice like. I think you could argue that he's at least close to the below keepers. Obviously not better than all of them but that's 11 where it's hardly a massive gap and he has more potential than most of them. Bravo (as a keeper in the English league) Mignolet/Karius Gomes Pickford McGregor Fabianski Adrian Joel Foster Valdes Heaton Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Altamullan Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Darlow is a keeper (ahem) and will get better still. See him as comfortably a mid-table Prem standard. Which, is where I hope we will be for the next couple of seasons. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The College Dropout Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I'm only certain he's currently better than Hennessey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 I'm only certain he's currently better than Hennessey. Mandanda is better though. I'm sure he lays when fit. I liked what I saw of Darlow last season and what I have seen thus far this one. I still believe the position should be Krul's if he is committed to the club. We need an a good reserve with Tim's injury record. History says Darlow would still appear 10+ times in the league. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need an a good reserve with Tim's injury record. History says Darlow would still appear 10+ times in the league. Fair. Tim's injury record is ruining his ability though. Kirkland used to be a top GK but by the time injuries ruined his ability and potential. It's difficult to rate a Championship GK. Handling pressure is such a big issue for a GK.

Altamullan Posted January 25, 2017 Share Posted January 25, 2017 Handling pressure is largely about confidence/where your head is at. Confidence comes with doing, and he has made some excellent saves this season, really top rate reaction time and agility. Long may it continue.

Benwell Lad Posted January 26, 2017 Share Posted January 26, 2017 Years ago I was talking with a Danish guy about the Laudrup brothers and he said they were the same as their father in that they could play 90 minutes in a muddy battle and still walk off the pitch looking immaculate without a hair out of place.

merlin Posted January 27, 2017 Share Posted January 27, 2017 Would be very disappointed if Darlow was sold - only 26, still young for a keeper and has made some brilliant saves this season. We would have lost 0-4 to Sheff Weds had Darlow not saved our bacon. Krul has deteriorated significantly over the past few years and I would sell him before Darlow.

Yep, too many holes in Krul's game, hes a good shot stopper but lacks a fair bit in other areas, and has been on the decline for some time. Happy with Darlow as no1 and Elliot/Woodman as backup going forward. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
