Jakub Stolarczyk

[Noahfence]

He’s a good keeper. Won’t get drawn into Hermansen comparisons but i feel safe with him in goal (ignore his malfunction at Preston  )

[STUHILL]

I am just happy to see a keeper come and claim the ball in the air, without flapping or punching it away. 

[BrilliantFox]

Good shot stopper, but he really needs to become more comfortable at playing out from the back.

 

You can see the nerves on him when the ball is at his feet and the opposition striker is running towards him. 

[LCFCJohn]

Needs a new contract or he’ll be off next summer…

[Dunge]

I really like Stolarczyk. Perhaps it’s an easy opinion from someone who was never entirely convinced by Hermansen (At least not believing the hype he received from some quarters) but Stolarczyk looks a really solid keeper and actually better with his feet than I expected.

 

He reminds me of Nick Pope, and I’m a fan of Nick Pope too.

[ALC Fox]

This guy really cares, you can see it, especially when he made that late save from close range at 1-0.

 

Like Okoli celebrating a block at Charlton and Fatawu screaming at Soumare/Choudhury yesterday. Those three in particular give me hope for this squad if their influence can grow.

 

Stolarczyk is such a good shot-stopper as well and he just looks confident. Having a keeper like that must be so reassuring as a defender.

 

I'm trying not to exaggerate, but we do goalkeeping legends here. He could be the next one.

I can't see that tbh, it seems to me that his confidence is sky high, if there is pressure he just gets rid of it which is fine as we seen how many mistakes Hermansen made with his passing last time in the Championship, Jakub has made one error and it wasn't to do with a pass.

nerves for me as well

I’m absolutely delighted with his start to the season and I have every confidence in him as our number 1  all season. 
 

i think we have to remember this is his first season as a number 1. He’s clearly  got talent and I think every professional footballer should always think they have areas for growth and he shouldn’t be an exception. I think he’ll begin to settle down and he’ll get used to having the ball at his feet and strikers rushing him.  I’m confident we’ll see improvement in this area.

Absolutely. Decent keeper this lad

[sharpylcfc]

He's been brilliant so far this season, give him a new contract.

I have no idea what he’s like as a person but he seems to have some leadership qualities, which is something this team massively needs. A calm presence which is something Mads never had. 

[Jimmy]

I wonder how close to a national team call up he is, none of their keepers have that many caps right now?

[FoxinNotts]

Be interesting to see what his win percentage is with us. I'm guessing it's actually quite reasonably high.

[Nalis]

Alternates between prime Kasper and Danny Ward

[Claridge]

Can’t see him lasting long as first choice, he isn’t very good

[Soar Fox]

He’s just not very good. The odd good save here and there but makes plenty of mistakes. Also he’s terrible with the ball at his feet.

[STUHILL]

Possibly another player that we thought would be good enough, but is a position we likely could have upgraded for not much money. 

 

A good shot stopper and like the way he claims balls in the air, but is showing a glaring weakness with his feet and kicking. 

[MPH]

Good grief. One slightly less than very good game and people want him replacing.

He had a rough day, but so did most of his teammates.

[coolhandfox]

People wondering why we bought in a keeper.

People... well those people anyway...are morons.

Let's not brush over the Preston mistake.

 

He's doing OK, but has to be a little sharper.

[adam]

If your prepared to play a young lad in goal then you have to be prepared for mistakes. Needs games and time. 

[Miquel The Work Geordie]

I think he's fine. That second goal just makes him look like he can't swim but I don't think there's much he can do about it. First was a mess.

 

But as much as it's okay to say "I want my keeper to keep the ball out the net ! I don't care what he's like with his feet !" it's such  an important part of football now that a keeper has to be at least semi-capable on the ball – if not for the way sides press nowadays and squeezing out of trouble. He doesn't have to be Andrea Pirlo but it does need working on.
