    Just to see if there is anyone who thinks Pope should retain his place? He has had a fair few howlers this season so far and been lucky not to be punished more for his mistakes but would anyone be AGAINST dropping him for the weekends game?

    NO.. And get Burn relegated to the bench again.. The only game we played well in was because he was suspended.

    He's had some good games this season and is generally a good goalkeeper, but prone to making mistakes. The two worst that i can recall are the red card against Liverpool the season before last and the howler the other day in France.

    I've no problem with Ramsdale being given a run in the team.

    Should’ve been replaced in the summer properly, hapless keeper.

    Get Ramsdale in. Perfect time to do it after Tuesday. Eddie wont drop Burn because he doesn't want to scupper his world cup dream.

    Thought Ramsdale did well tonight - although he didn’t have much to do — took a couple of crosses well instead of punching it and his passing is head and shoulders above Pope’s. Clean sheet would have been nice but gotta hand it to KDH, was a great touch and finish.

    His ability with his feet wad a huge difference.. Pope would have lost the ball several times when he just played a pass

    Ramsdale closes the gap between the goal and defenders (like a sweeper), so doesn't have that same 'need' to rush out like Pope seems to.

    Although Pope just has some ****wit rush of blood that makes him forget he is a goalkeeper.

    Pope should never play for the club again... Use Ramsdale, sell Pope and buy someone else.

    Some idiot like dyche will pay good money for Pope..
