David Stockdale

[tigertim68]

Stockdale double save was fantastic , the second save was remarkable ,a great penalty stopper

 

[DJ NOBO]

Beeeeeeeeeeney

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Astounding reflexes to get across to save the rebound

 

[The Wookiee]

That save has probably got us promoted !

Relative to the level he played at, I still say Kuipers. But it sure feels like Stockdale is a premier league keeper playing in the championship

Kuipers will always be a club legend as will a lot of the players from that Adams/Taylor era, but he is nowhere near Stockdale in terms of ability, IMO. Stockdale won't look out of place in the top division.

That double save was something else, but it's his character that stands out for me. We've got so many in this squad.

Anyone know his ratio of penalties faced, to goals conceded?
I can think of four that haven't been converted: three great saves (tonight, v Fulham the other week, and at home in that storming 4-3(?) game against Birmingham); and the MK Dons miss away last season.

Bristol City away last season too. Struggling to think of others

Some of the NW were chanting Stockdale for England, Im inclined to agree with them.

 

[Dave the OAP]

True yorkshire grit from dave tonight...what a keeper. The best I have seen in 43 years of supporting brighton. What a series of saves!

 

[Eeyore]

Grummitt was the best I've seen but Stockdale pushes him very close. He was sensational tonight.

Yeah. I think Grummitt was the best.

 

[Paris]

He had no right to get anything on that rebound. NO RIGHT!

 

[jcdenton08]

If I could be bothered I'd name and shame each person posting here who criticised him at the start of the season for mistakes/being fat etc.

 

[Eeyore]

Have we ever had a keeper as good as he has been for us this season?

Corrigan past his best when he got here, always like Digweed, Moseley and Keeley but none of them were in Stockdale's class.

I've supported this club since 1980 and I don't think we've had a better keeper than Stockdale this season.

You would have just missed Peter Grummitt. I think Keeley is up there too. I rate Stockdale highly, but I don't think he quite has the command of the other two. Still, outstanding tonight.

Can't recall last time a Brighton keeper making at least two penalty saves in a season ?

Brezovan saved a couple, but I'm not sure if they were in the same season.

Are you talking about penalties, or just shots in general?

Penalties. I was told he had a photographic memory, so knew every player's favoured side to shoot penalties.

 

[mothy]

Incredible double save. Saw the 1st & was in line with the post for the 2ND. Thought it was in off it & just missed it. Brilliant saves

 

[darters74]

Keeley

To be fair he didn't save that one
