Cooper v Trafford

[Silky Sabella]

By far the best 2 goalkeepers in the championship and both capable of pulling off world class saves. Either one in their own right could be a match winner on Monday

 

[SUFC Guy]

Nailed on 0-0

 

[Jimmy Fleck]

Sorry but Trafford’s a different level to cooper. This will be highlighted as Burnley get their 4th on Monday night.

Cooper by a country mile…Trafford doesn’t have to play behind such a flaky defence.

Not a different level at all, but he does seem to have really kicked on this season.
Both are very good keepers but Trafford probably just edging it now, will be good to compare them on Monday

 

[John Street West Terrace]

Cooper by far the better all round keeper ..Trafford is a shot stopper but absolutely does not command his area like Cooper .
Cooper will be playing in the PL next season come what may ..sadly I think the team 30 miles up the road will be after a new keeper ?

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

I hope we dont get a penalty or two.....you will see Taffords dark arts come into play....he will go to pick his water bottle up and pretend he has injured his hand sit down on grass for ten minutes before the pen is taken.

You want proof watch the Sunderland game at Taff Moore.

Doing it yesterday on goal kicks as well apparently.

It's why they either need to introduce this time wasting leads to corners rule, or get rid of the rule where Keepers can't be booked for time wasting before the 80th minute.

No he isn’t, Trafford gets far more protection from his defence.

What when Watford were down to 9? Scott Parker tactics

Not sure his all round game is better if you're including distribution in that. His pings out to the wings are often over hit. Very good keeper nonetheless.

When they got in front from what I heard, I haven't seen the match but a few people in the Albion (before we kicked off) said Burnleys time wasting (especially Trafford) was endless.

 

[Pittsburg Blade]

So glad we got Cooper, massive step up from our previous selections.
Currently Trafford is something else though. Finger-tipping that piledriver onto the bar changed the game against Watford. The guy oozes confidence, not a surprise considering how few goals he’s conceded this season.

 

[robbiez666]

The big advantage Trafford has is distribution. Cooper is terrible at kicking. So often boots it straight out.

Watford played with 9 men for most of the second half and lost 2-1. Why do you think with 11 men we lose 4-0?

Because we have to go for it which will play right into their hands.

 

[Pollingtonblade]

There has never been a goalkeeper like Trafford at this level, all should be doffing their caps his way Monday

 

[BerksBlade]

Trafford cost Burnley £15m so he should be better than Cooper. Personally I don't think there's much between them. From what I've seen Cooper was an absolute steal.

 

[Younger Dryas Blade]

Trafford has never had to play behind Jack Robinson. If he had he'd be at Rotherham next season.

Coops will do for me and will only improve.

 

[dc_blade]

Cooper is a terrific keeper and was incredible value at what we paid.

Trafford is not only the best keeper in the division but in my opinion the best player by quite a long way. He’ll play the rest of his career at the top level.

I don't think there's much argument anymore, Trafford's stats are there to be seen.

I think himself & Estevé are the two standout players in the division. What they've done for Burnley this season has been remarkable.

 

[SUFCinks]

Both very good keeper but Coopers distribution lets him down, its quite poor. The rest of his game is good.

I think Trafford has a bigger future TBH.

Exactly this, until Cooper improves his footwork I can't see a move to a prem side.

Cooper's weakness is his distribution.

In the Premier league they are now continually highlighting the quality distribution by keepers. Last week Ederson to MacAtee (Man City) and then Raya to Rice (Arsenal) both led to goals.

I've tried looking on the highlights of the Millwall's goal but I am sure the lead up to them scoring started with a poor clearance from Cooper.

Having said that he is a vast improvement on what we had recently. Our clean sheet run could have continued if we'd replaced Souttar.

I think he’s good and a decent signing but i don’t think he’s a big step up on what we have had. Personally i rated wes, hendo and rammo so the bar is fairly high. Still a good signing and player IMO.

 

[Ron_Justice]

I've seen it all now. People finding fault with Cooper is a new level. EASILY our best keeper in a generation. Like, going back to Tracy/Kelly generation. Games gone.

No one is saying he’s shit so keep your pants on.

Cooper is comfortably better than Wes.
Bear in mind also that we didn’t have any of the three you’ve mentioned when we actually signed Cooper and it becomes much more than just a ‘decent signing’ - it was an essential signing that massively improved our defence and in my opinion is the reason we are (just about) in the automatic promotion race at all.

It's not finding fault by accepting Trafford is the better keeper?

 

[jaybee]

Cooper is our first keeper in a while where you don’t shit yourself when there’s a cross to be claimed
