General consensus seems to be that we would need to upgrade if we got promoted.
Personally I think we have far higher priorities to solve rather than the keeper.
Another season where he has been in discussion for POTY.
What exactly can't he do that other PL Keepers can? [Post edited 28 Apr 15:27]

He is a solid championship goalkeeper but notable that he has lost his place twice in the time he has been here.
Having said that though, I tend to agree with Herbie's post earlier about being careful on what is said about those likely to be replaced, as its probably best left until we have played the next two games! [Post edited 28 Apr 15:32]

Yeah, and the two players he lost his place too both ended up not playing PL football...
Don't think it's disrespectful to pose a football question about a potentially high probability of something happening.
I'd argue I'm being respectful by offering positive virtues around Walton and his capabilities. | |

Speaking honestly he is a solid championship keeper. However, for the Prem he perhaps has a few flaws:
- he's very slow to get down and is not nimble for multiple saves
- his parrying is poor. Often parries centrally for an easy tap in
- his distribution, when the occasion arises doesn't allow for counter attacks. It's too slow and conservative
These are to me, what a Prem keeper would be doing every week that Walton cannot. [Post edited 28 Apr 18:25]

Muric is playing top flight football in Italy though and if reports are to be believed, courted by Juventus. So... it's not gone badly for him. |  | | |

Fair enough, good points.
I just look at some of the keepers I've watched in the PL, and I'll be honest, bar Raya and Donnaruma, I haven't been overly impressed with many of them. | |

Not at all, but he lost his place to a guy who also couldn't cut it in the PL.
I'm not saying Walts is Outstanding, but he's had a very good season, currently second in the Golden Glove, I'm just saying it wouldn't be the first or second position I'd be focusing on, and truth be told, wouldn't be worried if he started the season.
He didn't look out of place against Liverpool in that opener. [Post edited 28 Apr 15:44]

Your goalkeeper is such an important position to get right in the PL as a promoted club. Easy to be lulled into a false sense of security by a 'solid' keeper but you need someone outstanding that can actively win you points and that can play out with their feet in a division where the pressing of your opponents is on a different level to the Championship.
Anthony Patterson was arguably considered the best keeper in the Championship last season and he got instantly replaced by Robin Roefs who has been excellent for Sunderland. | | | |

He's been dropped by Sassuolo - I was at their game away to Fiorentina and it looks like he's now third choice, suspect he's fallen out with management.
Do agree that he's likely to have courters this summer but his loan move does appear to have turned a little sour. | | | |

Agree, not particularly strong at set pieces either.
Been great for Champ but unfortunately will face far more shots and at higher quality and I don't think he has the consistency for that level.
A good keeper can make or break a season for teams trying to survive it would be very near the top of the list for me. |  | | |

I agree with you. If we get there he’s one of the last positions we need to worry about. Unless there is a goalkeeper with a proven track record in the premier league, someone like Ramsdale, I’d want us to stick with him. He has been excellent this season. We would be out of contention for automatic promotion without some of his recent performances. | |

Absolutely nowhere near good enough for the Prem. |  |

Last season we had some really good displays from away keepers. Verbruggen was perhaps the best.
I also remember Onana made some mad saves. | |

He’s a good solid championship keeper..
IF we go up, we will have to sign a better keeper. | | | |
