Thought his form has been a little, shall we say, patchy lately. Seems to have very good organisational qualities and is confident when kicking and playing out from the back. However having looked back at some of the goals against us over the last few games can't help thinking that he should/could have done better. Be interested to hear other opinions.

We’ve conceded 7 goals less than at the same point last season. Yes, Ebbsfleet’s goal yesterday went through him but he’s been very solid more often than not.

He’s not perfect - he’s a League Two goalkeeper at the end of the day, but he’s a massive, massive upgrade on what we’ve had between the sticks the previous two seasons and I can’t think of another stopper in the division I’d swap him for.

I don’t speak for everyone, but I’m not concerned about him in the slightest.

I think he’s an improvement on the last few keepers we’ve had in recent times.

Not much to talk about, best start hammering the keeper. One mistake yesterday, not a chance with anything on Tuesday. Yesterday was probably the only handling mistake he’s made all season, the only other mistake I can remember was conceding the pen at Harrogate. Pym’s consistently 7/10, very steady

Think people forget about the clown we had as no.1 last year

I think he is one of a few players who have had a little dip in form, it seems the collective squad is performing slightly under par from the very high standards we've set.

Saturdays rather laboured, predictable performance brought flashbacks to some of last season and let's hope we can push on again starting on Saturday.

Is this a wind up? On showing so far, I’d say he’s the Best keeper (full time) we’ve had in about 10-15 years if not longer and yes, that includes Macca (James!). Look at where we are this season with him in goal. We made the 4th round of the league cup and are placed 6th In The league.

We’ve got a great squad at the moment and there seams to be great trust within the back 5 or however many play. He plays the way that DA wants him to play with a lot of confidence running through the team.

I’ll put your annoyance down to it being a Monday


9 men.

We only play 9 men

Many seem to have forgotten how many saves/stops he has made this season, keeping us in the game. He's not perfect, but very effective a majority of the time.


You can please some of the forumites some of the time but not all the forumites all of the time

I think the green ticks mean you probably do speak for nearly everyone!

A bit harsh to call Wright a clown, but that first goal looked a combination of Bambi on ice and the Keystone Kops.

A shocker for Pym on Saturday, but he's generally looked solid. He's never going to be a brilliant shot-stopper in comparison to some really tall keepers, but his confidence with the ball at his feet and general consistency is certainly a massive improvement compared to last season.
