He’s been criticised a lot mainly on this board despite being fairly solid with our poor defending, but for me he commands the box, isn’t afraid to come out and collect the ball or punch it away, made some great saves today especially the long range one. And he knows when to waste time and slow the pace of the game down when we need to. The fans in the ground clearly rate him as he has his own song now, not many Boro keepers have had that in recent years.

Keep it up Joe 👏🏻

How does the song go? ;)
 
Agreed, I wasn't convinced and there is something awkward about his kicking that I'm sort of getting used to but he has made the spot his own. Well played lad.

Bang on mate. Took the words out of my mouth. People are so quick to judge too early.
 
He has been superb for the last few games. Decent away at Derby / Cov and Reading. He looks a very good shot stopper.

Definitely an upgrade on last season. He's made a couple of mistakes but who hasn't? He's not been one of the major issues. To be fair he's had some stick from a few on here but the fans at the matches seem to be backing him and he appears to buzz off it.
 
He's only had one truly poor game in his time here.
Had plenty of decent, comes in for more criticism than he's due for sure.

Made some important contributions today.
