Tbh I think he is just a bang average league 1 keeper.
I think, despite all the shit that has gone on we have normally had very good No 1s. Elliot, Hamer, Rudd, Amos, Steer, Philips, Wollacott and AMB are/were probably all better than league 1. I don't think, relatively, he is much worse than some of our better out field players. He has gone to another league 1 club, presumably to be first choice, that sort of backs that up.
Always found it odd how he ended up @ Portsmouth in the first place.
I know Dean Henderson is an exceptional Goalkeeper, and was outstanding with Shrewsbury, meaning that Craig never really got a look in the year they almost went up to the Championship - But to sign for Pompey, having never really performed anywhere prior... Didnt understand that one
My pompey mates were genuinley gutted when he left them, says we got an outstanding keeper....yeah right.
Excellent news. I regret to say he is one of the worst goalkeepers I've seen play for us. I wish him well.
Have you forgotten Mike Salmon!
Mike Salmon was better. In fact everyone was better.
In my opinion, Macgillivray was the worst goalkeeper ever to play for Charlton in my lifetime. (Edit: I don't count Thurum really as he wasn't around long enough for me to see him live at the match - and was he ever really picked by the manager anyway?)
Although I didn't dislike him for lack of effort like Gunter, I could never believe just how bad he was and I'm glad he's gone.

I see you MacGillivray and raise you a Ross Worner.
Not the worst keeper we’ve had in my living memory but he’s in the top three! Seems like a decent bloke. Hope the move works out for him.
I hope it works out for him too.
I know he made that gaff against Cheltenham, but I think there have been a number of players who have been worst and not gotten criticism as much as he has.

We've not had much stability between the sticks, but regularly seemed to sign decent keepers whether permanently or on loan. David Button is another one, considering he was signed as a backup
Thought he was a fairly middling League 1 keeper , nothing especially special. Good luck to him at Burton as he was probably going to stay third choice here if he stayed.
Pettersen and Illic both played regularly at the beginnings of one of the best periods in our history, including multiple appearances in the Premier League. Illic was one of the heroes in perhaps our greatest match. In fact, during that run-in at the end of the 97/98 season - Illic was playing as well as any keeper in Europe, absolutely nothing was getting past him. Ridiculous to compare them to a dodgy League 1 keeper playing in one of our worst ever teams.
He wasn’t great but nowhere near as bad as Thuram….the other name that comes up is Jim Stannard who had a mare in his one game but a decent career otherwise. It is a matter of record towards the end of his time at Gillingham their fans used to pelt him with celery, he having er, bulked up a bit by then.

Andy Peterson? Sasa Ilic?
Sasa Ilic who kept 9 consecutive clean sheets in the second division on the way to winning promotion to the Premier League, where he played 36 times for the club? Compared to a keeper who helped us finish 13th in League One? Cool, no notes.

One of the main reasons that we only managed to finish 13th in League 1.

As stated Yohann Thuram-Ulien will always have that honour.
