Assuming he stays fit and avoids suspensions he’ll be on around 425 maybe more depending on cups at the end of this season. Would need another 2 full seasons to hit 500? Is that possible? Another 5 seasons to hit the 600 and most apps of all time? He appears to look after himself well and is in as good form as ever. I personally think he’ll beat Mark Wellington’s 460 and possibly get close to 500, which would be phenomenal in this day and age. Nothing but respect for every thing he has done for the club and continues to do. End of this season he'll likely be 6th behind Walshy. 500 is doable which would put him 3rd. I think anything beyond that may be a bit too much.
nabb7 Posted 18 January 2021 Posted 18 January 2021 So was his 400th Southampton or Stoke? Club seem to think Southampton but pundits and Wiki reckon that was 401st

It is a glorfied friendly but i don't see how it can't be included in his appearance list for us.

As our captain, he sets the tone with his consistency and he seems to have that hard as nails mentality that makes him a great leader of the team. I actually don't think he gets the recognition he deserves for his captaincy. One of the top 10 keepers in the world for me. I think he gets underrated a lot on here. When we eventually have to replace him, people might appreciate how good he actually is. 5

Unabomber Posted 18 January 2021 Posted 18 January 2021 BT were going mad how the community shield is a competitive game. Not sure why they were so desperate for the game to be his 401st appearance. They should have had more tact and just gone with what the club and the banners said. 2
whetstonefox Posted 18 January 2021 Posted 18 January 2021 If we’d won the charity shield Saturday would have been his 401st appearance. 😀 1

Most seem to say it is, but the club don't seem to include it in their records. Same reason Graham Cross officially only made 599 appearances for the club and not 600 - because the club didn't count the 1971 Charity Shield as a competitive fixture either. However other clubs include it in theirs. Man United's official website includes Wayne Rooney's, Bobby Charlton's and Ryan Giggs' charity shield appearances and goals in their records for example.

It's classed as a non-competitive fixture by the FA.

I can find sources on both ESPN and Talksport claiming that the FA consider it both competitive and non competitive. However can find nothing on the FA website clarifying it. However UEFA's website seems to have a couple of references to it as a domestic Super Cup, which would make it a competitive game. It would be good if there was an official source from the FA clarifying it once and for all. Edited 18 January 2021 by Sampson
Guest Electric Yetis Posted 18 January 2021 Posted 18 January 2021 I think the fact you can make 6 subs shows it is a friendly with a trophy. It's just a step up from the Brian Clough Trophy

Was about to say the same, when the look at the clangers other keepers make pretty regularly, he's incredibly consistent. 2

It's just a step up from the Brian Clough Trophy You can make the same number of subs in the Spanish Super Cup, which is considered a competitive game though for example. We've been in UEFA Cup and League Cup games this season you could make 5 subs as well tbf. And international friendlies you used to be able to make 11, but they still go towards your goal and appearance records. So I don't think the number of subs matters on the classification of it or anything. Edited 18 January 2021 by Sampson
Corky Posted 18 January 2021 Posted 18 January 2021 I'd say it's a competitive fixture- we had to do something great (win the league, FA Cup or finish 2nd) to be there. I wasn't too fussed about the result but it's worthy of a competitive game tag.
LCFCCHRIS Posted 28 January 2021 Posted 28 January 2021 Just watched a video from tifo that had Kasper as the 4th best at goals prevented in the league in 2020. Pickford on a minus number. https://youtu.be/yYa3qABgRRk 1
urban.spaceman Posted 25 February 2021 Posted 25 February 2021 Could do with losing some weight IMO. 1
Clever Fox Posted 3 March 2021 Posted 3 March 2021 He was excellent tonight and deserves MOTM. He's coming off his line a little more in the last few games which is great to see. I think we're going to need a few more performances like tonight before the seasons over. 1
Steve Earle Posted 3 March 2021 Posted 3 March 2021 Some time pub keeper (unpopular opinion) who has been absolutely excellent now for a couple of months. Hats off to him, MOTM tonight no question.
Bats8711 Posted 3 March 2021 Posted 3 March 2021 He def got us the point tonight - not the first time it's happened. Also I could be imagining things but seemed to have less bridge jump inducing passes today than normal
dylanlegend Posted 3 March 2021 Posted 3 March 2021 Think a lot of our fans underrate him. Overall I would say in terms of what he provides us (good goalkeeper, excellent communicator and role model off the pitch for the younger players) he’s one of the most influential keepers in the league. 1
Hammo Posted 3 March 2021 Posted 3 March 2021 Tested the lace tension on his corset with that amazing save from Wood.
