I think it would be helpful if people stop viewing the Greek as a viable

option. Forest think he’s useless and Eddie thinks he’s useless. He’d probably pick Ruddy ahead of him. 

We don’t know because nobody has really seen him play, but I’m not convinced we would really notice the difference if he played instead of Dub. I don’t really know either, but he’s number one for Greece, he’s not a non-league player.

All set up now for him to have a shocker against Wolves and calls for Pope to come straight back in when fit.

It's not worth the risk at all mind. Underperforming keeper probably cost us Europe last season. Imagine the same happening again  The fact that Dubs was so poor for us last season and still favourited over the Greek lad says a lot I reckon.

You know who has seen him play? Eddie and the staff. When asked about him Eddie said something to the effect of: he’s a real nice guy and is liked by the players.

All of this highlights just how bad the Greek lad must be.

I don’t think this has been emphasised enough. He must be fucking awful.

He was number 1 for Benfica for like 5 years, I do find it hard to believe he's a complete dud.

Go on their message board and read his thread... then you'll see!

Hell of a save. Got stick for those close range ones last season. Done really well to close the gap and the angle. 

[Newcastle Fan]

Superb today, flawless performance.

[Ellis H]

He’s getting the protection he wasn’t getting a year ago. This is probably us at our best defensively.

[Aiston]

Fantastic performance, got the game many wanted where he had to make saves !

 

[andycap]

Fair do's he played well tonight mind done some actual keeper work. 

[ChrisMcQuillan]

Looks like a different player to last season. 

[Pilko]

First time he's been properly tested since he came in, but he stood up to it well tonight. The Larsen save was excellent, fair play to him.

[jonny1403]

I don’t think Pope comes straight back in now does he?

[samptime29]

Really solid tonight.

He shouldn’t, IMO. 

[McDog]

He will, IMO.

[Adam]

Gave away his shirt and gloves at the end tonight. Looked very emotional walking off too. Hopefully stays for the season at least we look a much better footballing side with him in nets.

I agree.  

[AyeDubbleYoo]

This is the best game he’s played, the others he didn’t have that much to do.

I think we just have to conclude he's better than he was. Anticipation has improved, too, so I guess it's not just that he was injured previously, or whatever.

 

Not perfect, but nothing like the shambles I was bracing for a few weeks ago.

In 6 appearances. Unreal to be honest, defence have looked more comfortable with him in the sticks. Had to graft harder last night. Up the Marty D
