Tom or nick

[Sidney1st]

Nick.

We are 7th and he's helped with that a great deal.
He doesn't appear to have many moments where you think he'd throw one in like Hart.
He's made some outstanding saves and his stats are making him the best English keeper in the PL and at one point amongst the best in Europe.

As it stands he's our number 1 and rightly so, Heaton has to wait for his chance now, to drop Pope would send out the wrong message and do Pope a disservice.

Tom is our club captain and I suspect he'll start the next season as our number one. However, he, like any other of Dyche's squad, knows how this cookie crumbles. Pope does not deserve to lose the shirt; it's not how this Burnley team operates. For now, Nick plays, for me.

And now that the job is done, I would like to see Tom play the last game.

I think Tom would have saved a couple of them goals today.

I think Tom would have saved a couple of them goals today.

I doubt it. And it's those goals.

[Bin Ont Turf]

I doubt it. And it's those goals.

Thank goodness you turned up when you did.

This thread was spiralling out of control.

[Top Claret]

Pope would be a top keeper if he had foot work. Tom is better with his feet but doesn't command his box like Pope, due to his lack of height.
There is nothing between them

[Down_Rover]

Think right now with Mee out we should play Heaton

Our defence is less organised in his absence and well as Long has played somebody needs to make sure Tarks does less show boating
Tom is more likely to keep the central defenders up to their game

Long term I think I would stick with Tom if he is fully fit. He is a better leader and more likely to stay around for a few years

Pope has been fantastic but he might just be a one year wonder or a target for the big clubs 12 months later. Sad to say I think we should cash in

[JohnMac]

We would still have got tubbed with both of them in goal yesterday. Bit of a bummer for Nick but no real blame attached to him for the goals.

[KRBFC]

Either of them, they're both that good it doesn't matter which one we have in goal.

[Notsosuperstevedavis]

We've seen they can both stop shots. The fingertip save against Saints was a worldy, not to mention the one on one against Morata at CFS.

Pope strength - claiming crosses when under the cosh, its first time I've seen a BFC 'keeper do this regularly and well in my lifetime.

Heatons strength - perhaps his cummunication- but I can't measure this visually.

Pope for me. On account of his ability to command his box and him being younger is just an added bonus.

[Cirrus_Minor]

Never thought I would say this but Pope for me.
