SteV Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Just now, Jackie Broon said: Burnley fans I have spoken to said he is a great shot-stopper, good with his feet but poor command of his area and flaps at crosses / corners. I’ve only seen a very limited amount of him, and he certainly doesn’t appear to command his box particularly well - BUT - they’ve conceded 9 goals in 26 games in a very competitive league. If it was as much of an issue as being made out, surely all the other teams would have targeted him in this respect and it would have led to more goals?

It was last season I heard that though, and that element of his game it likely to improve with experience. Edited January 5 by Jackie Broon Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s still and issue, not sure if teams have been poor at taking advantage but he isn’t good from crosses at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven’t seen enough of him to comment really, it just feels if he was that bad other teams would have been able to exploit it more than to the point of 9 goals in 26 games.

M1tche Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I've just asked a Burnely supporting mate about him and the link. Below is his exact response: "Flapper Trafford? Nothing seen other than paper talk." Make of that what you will Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I’m sure he’ll get lots of support on here then. Pope punches one miles clear under pressure at a corner and it’s always CATCH IT FFS MAN. Flapper Trafford Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
andycap Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 He's still learning but I see a lot of positives in his game and he will only get better. Shot stopping, distribution, good hands good off both feet. His coming for crosses can be worked on same as his sweeper keeping. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holloway Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 I haven't seen that much of Trafford,but if he is flappy as more than a few have pointed out, should we be targeting a keeper with a glaring weakness, we already have two of those vying for the no 1 spot Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

80 Posted January 5 Share Posted January 5 Dubravka deserves plenty of credit for the latest run, it's night and day compared with last season and has been a rebirth for him. But people are going way over the top attributing our improved form to his presence. If we melt as soon as Pope gets back in, without an injury to Tonali etc, we can re-discuss it.

buzza Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 Has played well last few games and his passes over the top of the press to the full backs or wingers has given us another dimension. I didn't like his traitor-like actions when he went to manure, but he has given his best since coming back. Will hold no grudges and deserves a good send off Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

nufcjmc Posted January 7 Share Posted January 7 (edited) Fuck no to a contract extension he was shite last season and reaks of a miggy style live to regret it miggy contract extension. Ben jacobs on one of the local podcast shows states its 8m dollars so around 6m if true sell up and move on. The Greek lad has champions league experience and cost us 20m just give him a go.

We all know the 20m was just a way of getting around PSR, he's worth about £5m in reality. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
