James Trafford

[LincsWoldsClaret]

The anti Trafford threads seem to attract the halfwits more than any other.

He’s not poor or more accident prone than other keepers or just here because no one wanted him.

He’s our keeper - let’s support him.

[clarethomer]

Just like most social media, it thrives on devision of opinion.

He is still developing but he is still 2 years younger than Pickford was before he played for Everton.

Not sure what purpose these threads play at times - yes we should be able to comment on an individual performance, but it just goes well beyond that into full character assisination.

Support the guy - he will get better and he is already at a very decent standard for this level of football

[Wokingclaret]

Aye reyt !!

You really are the excuse that Stan the man made for youngsters not coming through at Burnley, basically they'd be slaughtered to death!

[Wokingclaret]

weimann should have been picked up years ago a 1 in 3 attacking midfielder for Bristol City

Please - if you see something unacceptable, report it and don’t respond to it.

Thanks to the poster who did report it.

They really do. It’s almost like it’s a jealously thing.

He keeps making mistakes and people keep jumping in to big him up.. they just need reminding of the numerous flaws and errors.

Hopefully he will go to Newcastle in January for a ridiculous fee and that’s the end of it.

I can remember several keepers we’ve had who made plenty of mistakes and fans loved them. Don’t know why Trafford is so hated having made less mistakes.

It is worth noting that this did not start as an anti Trafford thread. Read the OP again.
I think trolls attempt to ambush threads like these and I think genuine posters would be better advised to spot who they are than react

Just seen this so maybe it was started as an anti Trafford thread after all

[boatshed bill]

It most definitely was not. Done with the best intentions but I guess always liable to be derailed.

That’s what I thought bill originally until there was talk of re-opening the thread

I was genuinely hoping people would get on the lad's side, rather than on his case. Nevermind.
TBH I'd like this thread closed now.

That much is clear. I think you were right in starting it. It hasn’t sunk in yet with some people that’s all.

At least some of us get it.
If he's our first choice, as it appears, best we all get behind the lad.

Greediness from Pace, the offer of £16m was more than adequate, whos to say that value will drop over the next season. We are going to sacrifice another season trying to make him into a no.1 and a profit on one player.

Christ on a bike.

Except it wasn’t enough at £16 million
Minimum needs to be £20 million or we might as well not bother signing young players with potential to flip for a profit

We’d make pretty much nothing at 16 million I suspect

He is our No1, the other 2 are not as good. Would you prefer we played one of them?

We shouldn’t have bothered buying him he got dropped too late for us to stay up because of Kompany being stubborn.

We’re not going to see a profit on him, the longer he stays the less money they will make on him, that’s my prediction. Happy to be proved wrong.

Pace needs to stick to share dealing, he’s crap at football.

What’s the name of the guy with a clean sheet to his name this season?

[boatshed bill]

What’s the name of the guy with a clean sheet to his name this season?

Hladky is our 2nd choice, I think that is obvious.

[Row x]

What’s the name of the guy with a clean sheet to his name this season?

Same guy who made the kind of error at wolves that you would have had weeks of posts abusing Trafford had he made it

[123EasyasBFC]

I wasn’t in the muric camp massively last season but now muric has gone and Trafford is clearly the number one and let’s not kid ourselves, Trafford is a better keeper than hladky, he gets my backing.

He flapped at one against Luton and had a lazy clearance at the weekend but overall in the 3 games he’s played he’s been comfortable.

Nobody can question that Trafford wants to be here either, he ran the full length of the pitch for the 4 goal at Luton to celebrate and he also ran full length of the pitch at the weekend to try and help position the Burnley all in the way of rovers keeper as must as possible.

What a load of nonsense. If Trafford has a good season he’ll go for £30m. Man City have a £42m buy back. That’s not for no reason.

Kompany made the decision, you can’t blame the player

We will see a profit on him

Pace appears to be significantly better at football than you

[boatshed bill]

Yeah he’s got relegated twice in four years he’s amazing at football.

He was 17 four years ago.

[Superjohnnyfrancis]

He was 17 four years ago.

I was on about Pace

[claretonthecoast1882]

The Muric lovers are never boring are they with the constant anti Trafford stuff.

The notion we went down because of Trafford is as dumb now as it was last season, but at least they are consistent.
