With Nick Pope hopefully being back fit in March, does he automatically retain his No.1 status? Or does Martin Dubravka deserve to remain in goal?

E goes straight back in no disrespect to Martin. But he's miles better
Absolutely Yes, we could do with a GK who is good enough to challenge Pope for Number 1.
Most definitely.
Pope walks back in, hopefully in good time for latter stages of FA Cup and to stabilise the defence in the crucuial run-in phase of EPL season
We'll need him to play upfront at the rate isak and Wilson are going.
But yes, straight back in for me. For the forest first goal alone.
Same back 4 that last season was joint best defence in the league, now look nervous as hell and unsure whether the keepers staying on his line or inexpicably flying out the box. One difference, goalkeeper.
Without any doubt His Worship Nick goes straight back in when he is fit.
Yes, immediately. It’s not even a question for me
I can't wait for pope to be back dabravka is so bad now compared to when we first signed him. So many goals conceded since pope got injured.
ermmm.. yes, without a doubt! stupid question!!!
no doubt pope is nr 1 he doesnt hesitate when going out and commands the box
Stupid question, asking the obvious. Question for discussion should be when do we sell Dubs
Nicks sweeping skill makes a massive difference in our defense
The holy father Pope retains his place, yes.
There's no doubt about it that we have missed Nick Pope.
Yes for me straight back in goal
Friend of mine attends all games, he says the biggest difference is Pope shouts ALL the time helping the defence out!
My worry with pope is he's dislocated his shoulder twice now how is this gannin ta effect his game mentally in respect of diving to save shots very worrying!🤔
Definitely goes straight back in
Nothing wrong with Martin's shot-stopping, but he is glued to his line. The rare time he comes out (against Forest) he gets it woefully wrong. You can see Botman's fustration with him in recent games.
I love Pope, but to say he's a better "sweeper keeper" is crazy. Neither of our keepers are. Pope is a better shot stopper, Dubravka is 300% better with the ball at his feet. I would let Dubravka move on but I'd keep Karius, we don't want to waste money on a keeper we don't need to sign
Pope must miss the extra income he got from selling pies
Hopefully we buy a new keeper in the summer.. Popes dislocated shoulder twice now.. Wil happen again.. Needed a keeper b4 his injury… As he cant kick or punch… Id clear all 4 keepers out in summer
Yes Nick straight back in.
No brainer of course pope goes straight bk in goal
For me yes I think dubravka been looking suspect lately. Think pope would have definitely saved a few ..
That analysis is too linear…Newcastle had plenty of screw ups starting with Trippier…you can blame dubravka…if you are blind
I don’t think he should I prefer Martin I also worry wen pope has the ball at his feet, and as for the graph by sky our defence hasn’t been as solid as last season
Definitely…….Yes
Late March ffs….23 goals leaked by Dubz? Jesus wept….😮Get Pope back NOO
Sharon Stone 😂😂
No question when Nick is fit he is straight back between the sticks
Honestly he's the first choice but he'll have to work hard and improve on flexibility around ball clearence and accurancy, its an area of confidence in Martin dubravka👌👌🖤🤍🖤🤍
Pope is very important we would be letting in so many games
Pope is miles better than dubs, look how many goals he's let in, and how many pope let in all last season, straight back in for me, but at the end of the day, it's up to Eddie,
Pope is back in as soon as ready when you have a keeper like pope behind you the defenders are more at home this is probably the reason for are defensive frailties. Since he’s been out
Be interesting who the opposition was in the comparison?? Pope for me but is it a permanent on off injury??
