    Only a rocket would blame him for 1 of those goals last night..

    I don't think commons meant anything by his comments, not to Gordon anyway, certainly the outfielders ..

    Anyone that thinks that is a swipe at Gordon needs to go back to School.

    I think he's meant that the big man can't keep them all out.

    Awesome goalie for us, always thought he's been a fab goalie and continues to prove it.

    Way way better than Forster.

    It would seem so. I like Gordon's competence under the high ball, Forster is sometimes scared of crosses which is shocking for a man of his physical stature.

    Since signing in the summer:

    League - 17 games, 9 clean sheets, 9 goals conceded.

    Overall - 28 games, 13 clean sheets, 22 goals conceded.

    Gordan is doing fine . I think the defensive set-up is working better now , so I expect more clean sheets . Both Bitton and Brown are dropping back to cover when needed far better than before and Johansson is dropping into midfield well in addition to his attacking play.
    We are now playing like a team .

    When Forster left I was worried we wouldn't be able to replace him with a similar standard of keeper, what a signing this has turned out to be!

    Let him take an Ipad on with him to keep him occupied.

    He's been tested nowhere near as much as those two. Bit premature for now I'd say. He has been pretty much faultless this season so far though

    I rate him better than Forster already, for me..

    The way he comes off his line as sweeper or for cross balls is an absolute joy. Shot stopping, kicking is all spot on as well..

    True he has not done it in the CL like those 2 but he was our best player in the Europa groups so i have hope. All round I think he is a better goalie than those 2. He can catch a ball and is not erattic.

    A fit and firing Craig Gordon is as good a goalkeeper as you will find.

    Great piece of business and I was very sceptical when he first signed!

    every game seems like a holiday at the mo.

    Stays switched on which is the sign of a good professional.

    Only things he's had to do recently is pluck a few crosses out the air, which he is great at.
