I've noticed a few saying anyone moaning at Pickford are miserable and it's one mistake?

He's been like this for a long time now, his distribution used to save him but even that's dreadful now, most of the time he kicks it straight to the opposition

He's not going to get any better, he's probably the worst keeper in the league outside of Kepa and maybe Lloris.

He's going to continue to cost us over and over again, unreliable, arrogant and not good enough, that's not reactionary, that's the way it is, he's a level below where we need to be, he's great at relegation threatened teams where his flaws are excuses because of his terrible defenders

But when he struggled to maintain concentration for 90 minutes, flaps at crosses, gives the ball away constantly, always off his line, these are basic mistakes that won't be fixed

He needs replacing.

I also agree 100 %. I’d be very surprised if a goalkeeper wasn’t brought in to at least challenge for his position. He needs replacing but I’m quite sure CA knows this.

I agree that he is not good enough for a team who wants to challenge for trophies but I think his mistakes come from his temperament and composure not anything technical.

I don't blame him for the goals yesterday. Yerry Mina was shocking. For the first goal he backs off and backs off. Then when the player shoots he moves out of the way. Also, if anyone here has ever sat in the glady on a mid day kickoff on a sunny day will tell you, you spend most of the match with your hand blocking out the sun.

For the second goal Mina doesn't even jump in the wall when, if he did, he stops it going in. He's the biggest Columbian in the world but has the balls of an ant.

Pickford has all the talent to be a great keeper but for me, he hasn't got that ice steel composure to be top quality. That weird moment in the first couple of minutes between him and Mina where Pickford ended up punting in the air contributed to our bad start. It creates nerves and your confidence wavers slightly. Pickford brings that almost every game.

I have read and digested the pundits commentators and the rest of the footy virtue signalling types giving West Brom a 'hard luck' 'brave souls' and all the other stuff we get with newly promoted clubs.

Heres the thing, Pickford would have gave Salford a boost, in fact any pro's worth their salt would have thought 'this keeper isn't at the races today'.
His inability and sheer clumsiness are always there waiting to pounce we need a proper goalkeeper!
