If you've been watching the TLS recently, you'll know that TK has been all over the place. The Cardiff game in particular he looked liked he'd never played in goal before, whenever a high ball came in.

(He'll have a blinder on Saturday, obviously..,)

He'll probably score.

I think Kusch was a better all round keeper than Stockdale. There, I said it..!

'Was' is an important word in that sentence.

I disagree strongly with your statement anyway. TK is / was a better shot stopper, but weaker in every other area.

I was never Kuszczak's biggest fan, but I would prefer him to Stockdale. Alright, Stockdale is more confident with his feet, but that doesn't matter in reality. Kuszczak made saves which Stockdale wouldn't have been able to and while it's not fair to judge their records comparatively - I think Kuszczak would have conceded fewer goals this season. Just an opinion and can't be supported, but how many basic errors have we seen Stockdale make?

Think back to the last game of last season, at Forest. That last five minutes wouldn't have been anything like as good if TK had been able to make a halfway decent save.

All hail TK.

I agree. There was seemingly no need to let a very good slid keeper go and spend £1mil on a replacement tbh... Just don't see the logic. We'd def have conceded less with him in goal this tear although Stockdales' distribution is better...

To be fair his last few matches were poor & he made a few mistakes. Stockdale's already made more errors this season than TK did in 2 seasons here though...
