Had a blinder against Blackpool, didnt have much to do against Reading.
But he has certainly expelled a lot of fears so far, and the defence seems less panicked with him behind them.

Did what he needed to do. He had a hand in the winning goal, the move started with him.

Still early days, but I'm encouraged by Moore's displays thus far. I watched the pre-season friendly against Sevilla and will admit I had my doubts about his abilities. Hope he keeps it up.

He's going to get tested on Saturday against QPR ,they like to play on the counter attack.

Seems like a good goalie to me, potentially the best we've had for a while.

Saves in an unorthodox way with his hands in front of his body. I like it. Watch next game

 

[Speedie's Head]

Who's calling him Fishy Moore?

 

[cc84cov]

Another assured performance

 

[SkyblueDad]

He’s a safe pair of hands obviously going to be times when a goal is conceded he could have done better with but the main thing is our defence seem confident in him. But we still have some odd fans a chap just behind me reckoned he should of done better with the Reading penalty by not diving the wrong way.

It’s what gyokeres should have done against Barnsley

I know although only a point dropped it still niggles me.

Certainly an upgrade on previous seasons and seems a very shrewd signing.

Great to see how confident he is especially considering he’s barely played for two years - shows a real belief in himself.

He’s done everything asked of him so far. If there’s a slight reservation it’s that he’s not been tested for a sustained period of time - he’s not faced a real barrage of attacks. I’m confident he’ll stand up to the test, especially as the last few games will have eliminated any match rustiness.

Good signing in a really important position.

Tbf Blackpool tested him a number of times the other night but yeah, in general he's not had too much to deal with. Cardiff and Middlesbrough will be big tests due to the way both teams play, especially the former.

He doesn't have to make so many spectacular saves as he commands his box and comes out to catch it. Hard to believe we're congratulating a keeper on doing what he should do, but after so many seasons without it's certainly noticeable. Marosi was an instant upgrade on what went before and now Moore is again. Amazing how quickly we'd got used to not even having mediocre.

He went on another mad tear after the winner on Saturday, like at Forest. Love to see it.

I would never knock Marosi he was okay most the time had a wobble or two in him but Moore is better simple as that.

 

[cc84cov]

How good is this man,unbelievable signing

 

[Deleted member 2477]

Yep you can see the difference he makes to the defence. They are a lot more confident with him between the sticks. He commands his area and can pick a ball out of the air which both Marosi and Wilson seemed to struggle with.

just need agent Burge to work his magic now for Sunderlands inevitable drop

 

[skybluesam66]

Remember pre season again - People saying how awful he was . Next year lets have pre-season behind closed doors with no reporting at all on games

 

[clint van damme]

I said last season upgrading the keeper washer number 1 priority and what an upgrade this fella is.

to be fair he could do the Laundry most of the time , our defence let so little through

 

[PVA]

Nevermind the triple saves, it's so good to have a keeper that commands his area and can deal with crosses. Something we haven't had since... Westwood? Murphy?

Also I never panic when he's playing the ball out short like I did with Marosi, he looks so calm and comfortable.

I dont think he even got his shirt dirty last night, he will probably just fold it up and save in for Millwall on saturday!

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Best thing about Simon Moore is how perfect he is as a physical specimen. Will get huge numbers of women up the ground just to look at him

 

[shmmeee]

Top top signing. Commands his area well, smart player as well in terms of game management. Distribution is excellent and a good shot stopper. Real all rounder.

 

[letsallsingtogether]

Just waiting for his first mistake.
This site will go nuclear!

 

[Sick Boy]

And to think that there were some advocating for Wilson to remain number one.

Had a cheeky word with DB last night and confirmed it was a 3 year deal and they feel they have a keeper in his prime who had no weakness

 

[lifeskyblue]

And I thought after that pre season in Spain that we had gone backwards on the goalkeeping front. How wrong I was. I no longer panic when teams lump it into our box, or when our keeper has the ball at feet. I’m sure he will make mistakes as the season progresses but he is a calming influence on those in front…great to see a defence trust the keeper and the keeper having faith in them.

He also mixes it up, If needed he will go long and they are accurate kicks. I don't know if this is a change of tactic from Robins cause with Marosi it was always a short pass regardless of the press.

Great signing though, he makes everything look effortless. Early days but best keeper since the prem for me (if he keeps up this form).

Haha, I got that out my system pre season, what a guy even gave me some mistakes to gloat over when it didn’t matter.

 

[shmmeee]

All that said, the pedant in me feels the need to point out that the man himself said it was a double save not a triple and Fadz got his boot to the last one. Though he would have saved it if he hadn’t so I guess I can let it slide.
