Lawrence Vigouroux

Trying to pour cold water on yesterday’s incredible performance by our keeper, doesn’t do your credentials as a supporter of the team as a whole, and the players individually any favours.

They’re trying to be all edgy, lot of it about.

Class.

The one good thing in our favour is his age. I can't see many "bigger" teams ready to splash a cash on a 32 year old keeper.

Van der sar left Fulham to join Man Utd at the age of 35. Worked out pretty well for him.

True.

Always a chance and you can never say never.

I think he’s been our player of the season so far.

Best we’ve had IMO since fabianski.

He was our best player last season as well. Arguably played even better than yesterday, when we won at Bristol City.

As Smurph said, I don't know how the hell we managed to pick him up but I'm very glad we did. He's been worth about 20 points during his time here and I don't think that's an exaggeration.

His performance yesterday was simply superb. I’ve watched a lot of games and can’t recall a goalkeeper’s performance like that.

Robert Hatch against the Germans comes close.

Blimey, I always assumed he was a bit younger than that. Mid-late 20s.

32 isn't old for a keeper, many go on until 40 and quite a few beyond that.

I like Vigouroux he has done a fantastic job for Swansea (and we would be screwed without him). When he first came I wasn't so sure (1st game I saw him in the flesh was against Cardiff at the Swansea.com) but he has won me over and is a good keeper at the Championship level.

Shot stopping is excellant, however his kicking leaves a bit to be desired and his command of the area also not the best, he is not the biggest, yes he's tall but quite thin and this I believe is why he does not command his area the best as he maybe lacks the strentgth to truly dominate his area.

For the aforementioned reasons I don't think we need to worry about losing the Vig and that he has found his level (i.e a good championship keeper)
