Is Kirkland the best keeper in the Championship?


Recommended Posts

In all fairness Robinson and Kasper might well be better but also take into account it doesn't matter who there dads are and Robinson would of got no where near the amount of caps had Kirkland of had an injury free career so also in all fairness Kirkland is a lot closer to those than you might think, possibly they stand alone as the best 3

What has Paul Robinson's dad got to do with it?

Wow it really shows how bad the last 2 decades have been to say Grant and Kirkland are amongst the best, kirkland and Grant were both great shot stoppers but nowhere near best in champ, just look at Grant the other day for Burnley, he is mr flappy hands.

i think Robinson probably tops the list; but Kirkland is up there. Schmeichel & Butland will be very good keepers to in years to come.

nowt wrong with either of them and while they arnt the best in the division both are sound championship keepers.i can go back 50 years watching our keepers and we,ve had far worse than these 2 believe me .

In no particular order.....

All keepers i reckon are as good as if not better than Kirkland. (BTW, i am not suggesting that Kirkland isn't a good goalkeeper, i think he's been one of the best keepers we have had in years, just that i think the Championship has a good number of decent keepers now who bar one or two are all much of a muchness.)

Speroni

Schmiechal

Robinson

Amos

Camp

Hennesey

Smithies

Kusczcak

Kenny

Gilkes

Almunia

Butland

Bogdan

The stand outs for me being Robinson and Kuczcak by some distance with question marks over Smithies and Almunia. Those who think Lee Grant is up there are way off imho...

Lets face it, with our defence even Cassillas would look average. Kirkland will get better now the defence have started to work together.

They are ok for this level but nothing more, and yes we have had much worse in goal we have also had much better, the worst keeper i have seen was Ola Tidman Hodge in his prime was good and Big Kev too, although i ma told by family Springett was the best we ever had

^^^^^ This ^^^^^

Kirkland is not consistent or ever fit enough to even mark against these Keepers in the Championship.

I Particularly like Hennesey and Amos, these 2 young Keepers are the Standard we should be looking at.
