Sullivan for me. Passes the height test. Looks commanding in his area and he is very vocal shouting his orders and also his encouragement. Needs to practice his kicking though.
Very difficult to say given Sullivan has played only 4 games for us.
Not that fussed about distribution - Deano was average in this respect and was an unbelievable keeper. If Sullivan is better at long range shot stopping then he gets my vote.
Most keepers tend to look good when they have a solid defence in front of them, and they tend to look poor when the defence is weak. Elliot has had some blinding games for us, and has made a few mistakes, but also has had the misfortune to play behind the worst back four I can ever remember.
Even at Welling RE was still doing those crazy run-outs and not making it before the opponent.
Just like he did at Hartlepool away last season and numerous other occasions.
I wonder if he is improving ?
Sullivan has a lot to say about his area, and as I said before, I like this aspect of his game. He would be shouting at (former keeper) Matt Taylor, and this could make an important combination.
Elliot is the coming season's scapegoat I reckon judging by the general attitude on here!
Sullivan seems to command his area and boss his defenders which is good but we haven't really seen him as a shotstopper where Robbie can excel.
I'm just pleased we have what looks like two competent keepers at this level or better battling it out and will give which ever CP chooses my full backing.

Sullivan's games for us were also in front of an appalling back 4 though and he still looked more the part. Needs to work on his distribution a bit but then, Elliott tends to wait about half an hour before he distributes the ball so anything's an improvement on that.

You can only give the ball if someone can be arsed to run into position to receive it....

You could be right about Elliot being the scapegoat, but only if he is No. 1, otherwise he'll be bench-warming - unless you think people will slag him off for not doing that right!
As regards the original question, I haven't seen enough of Sullivan to make a judgement - Powell and Roberts will. no doubt, be making a decision based on what they see in training. We'll have to trust them.

If you mean first pick in goal then the guy who's signing when we get back from Spain.
