All keepers have a howler in them. Look at the likes of De Gea and Allison, they're at the top of the game yet can still make them. Good to see Phillips is cementing his place when given the chance. A touch of good fortune for him with Smithies being injured but he has made the most of it.0

Mistakes that result in a goal are all part of the territory. It's just that, unlike outfield players, more often than not it results in a goal. And people always remember them for those errors. Those that are old enough will recall Gary Sprake throwing the ball into the back of his net against Liverpool. He earned the nickname "Careless Hands" because of it. Over 500 games for Leeds and 37 international caps suggests he was decent enough though.
As for Dillon I think he is a top keeper. But I bet you that he will make a few more mistakes in the course of his career. Because that is what keepers do.4 -

The latter option will be entail good wages, unfortunately in L1, he can improve his skills with our excellent goalkeeping setup, and earn the club a good fee aswell as a salary rise or move for himself next season.
These traits do not look like those of a Club hero/man/face to me.
As far as I can see over 50% of the squad are due to be out of contract at the end of this season but for some reason Phillips is being singled out.
Maybe I misunderstood at the time but I don’t think Bowyer got this one wrong if that’s the case. I’m not sure what good having Dillon for a few games early on would’ve done for us. It’s hard to imagine the defensive lapses being any worse than they have been this season...
Either way it’s worked out for him and pleased to see him getting wider recognition. He felt a little bit like a CAFC secret last season.1 -

He's played 12 games, they've won 8 and he's kept 7 clean sheets. Pretty decent record really.0 -
I've watched the clip 5x and I actually can't tell what the hell he was trying to do.

He is a very good championship keeper and might develop and get a premier league gig one day but to say he is better than Pickford is rose tinted1 - Sponsored links:

Don't laugh... He's gone to Belgium on loan... Has joined KV Oostende for the season

Wow, that's a random place to go. Out of contract next summer1
-
Probably not the career he expected since leaving us after seeing out his contract. He's made more money since leaving the club he supports but career has not progressed for me.

Hope he comes back to us.4

Thought that the club he's going to might also be owned by Vincent Tan. It isn't but it is owned by the bloke who owns a number of clubs including Barnsley:
Barnsley F.C. (England)
FC Thun (Switzerland)
K.V. Oostende (Belgium)
Nancy (France)
Esbjerg fB (Denmark)
FC Den Bosch (Netherlands)
1. FC Kaiserslautern (10%) (Germany)

Interesting, his competition at his new club is a goalkeeper linked with us before, Guillaume Hubert who used to play for Standard Liege.2
-
I really liked him and how he bided his time with us and became number one. I had hoped he would go on and do well at Cardiff, but this is a backward move. Expect he’ll be back in League One or even Two next season when his contract expires, unless he likes it over there

Wonder if he went quietly or with a Twist and Shout?2
-
Would take him over any of our current keepers6

Rose tinted, good shot stopper but his distribution was mediocre, dunno if he’d suit our style better than wollacot3

He'll still get the same big money every week and presumably thinks he will play every week (we will see).
Players don't normally give a shit about how big the ground is, as long as the pitch is ok and they can have their own creature comforts.0 -
Career is going backwards - thought he'd do better.2

The Eurostar from Brussels is a long way from Oostende1 -
