Wait for it...we're going to agree on something here...so do I. I'd have no worries of him being number one providing we had someone a bit more experienced on the bench.

I think we quite often agree with the youth players to be fair , at least it's something lol.
Think it would be foolish to place so much on young shoulders. Huge step up from L2 to champ, he'll make a few mistakes, get punished due to the better standard and the crowd will get on his back.
Good luck to him and us if so but think it's too early

Diego Poyet...
Goalkeepers and Strikers will always be under more pressure from the fans though because people see those two jobs as being so simple.
As a Goalkeeper your job is to stop the ball going into the net... As with Joe Hart earlier in the season if your conceding goals then people will Question whether you should be the man between the sticks (Yet in truth a Goalkeeper is just another player in the Defence, if the Goalkeeper concedes the whole back line should be questioned)
As a Striker your job is score the goals... If you cant score then the fans dont think you should be on the pitch either (Yet of course, a Striker is only going to be good as the service that he receives)
I will be very happy to see Pope on a 3 year contract. I have never quite been able to trust Hamer as our number one, and with our obvious determination to put our faith in grooming youngsters, Pope and Phillips look a good bet to me.

Nick Pope could cut it in the Championship BUT, goalkeeping is a relentless job when it's not going so well, a few bad days at the office when he starts in the nets for us and it could totally shatter the confidence he's built up. He still need's more time to learn his trade but don't think we'll give him that. He looks very assured but struggled for York when Fleetwood strikers blocked him at corners, good shot stopper and very strongly voiced
They'd have lost that second half 2-0 if it wasn't for Pope. Decent enough defence and Russell Penn is a decent L2 player as well but they have NOTHING up front.

So many balls were being lumped into the box I was amazed that one of their players didnt just take a risk and stick their head in there
But with an ex-Crystal Palace Striker up front (Calvin Andrew) what do you expect
P.S. Credit to the Fleetwood players... (Wanted York to win because of Nick Pope etc...) but the players are still out on the pitch with the fans taking photos etc...
I have a feeling he will be in nets 1st day of the season.
If it goes well for him we are then sitting on a valuable asset.
Its a gamble on Pope. We need to sign a 2nd keeper from the English league as a hedge, not from overseas. Of all the positions that need a different skill set to the Continental game, keeper is the stand out. From Davide de Gea to our french sunday league joker, the adjustment needed is massive. TBH, Alnwick would have been perfect. Need an experienced guy who can handle not being automatic first choice to a 22 year old. That might not be easy.
Personally I think he will be about ok in the Champs next season. But he will have to make his mistakes on the job. If that can be managed correctly then in 18 months time IMO he will be class at this level.
Lots could go wrong though, so we need a back up of a more experienced keeper. Pope himself will benefit from being pushed. But I cant see RD turning down a 50/50 chance of a 3M value keeper in 18 months time...sign some fooking defenders then so he isnt over exposed!

But I believe York have gone from being relegation candidates to play off candidates, in the last couple of months, since he's been there.
At a guess from about 17th to 7th.

More than happy for him to be our No.1 next season after that
