What a fantastic keeper we have here. Doesn't seem to get the same high praise as Danny Ward got.

 

For me he's as good if not better than Ward , I don't think he's put a foot wrong since coming here.

 

 

Hes a good shot stopper,commands the box vey well and he's a very good kicker..

 

 

What's not to like

 

 

 

 

 

WOuld have been a hammering today if not for some superb goal keeping from Lewis this afternoon.

Class act, can see this fella becoming a real fans favourite.

Agreed, see my comments in match thread

Last night, imo, he showed what we've been missing for decades, in particular at tynecastle. Coming out for balls that previous keepers would have been too scared or incompetent to collect, and most importantly, winning them. That save from the farts guy, at the near post yes, but he needed to get down quick and boy did he. What a guy. Deservedly getting his name sung, extend his deal!

That save at the end was far from straightforward too, came trough a crowd and he did well to spot it and get down early... sign him up.

Aye, he's fucking ace. Not quite sure how we've got him. Best keeper in the league in my opinion. That free kick in the first half by Walker (I think) was straight at him, but it was similar to the pish that Scott Brown spilled last year in the equivalent fixture. Alexander is actually a better keeper than we've had in a decade too, I feel a bit sorry for him sitting on the bench.

I cannot believe we picked him up on a free. Really rate the guy as a goalie and seems to be a decent guy also and as posted above it is reassuring having him between the sticks after some of the outright garbage we have had in that position over the years.

 

Our previous custodian, Scott Brown left us and went to Wycombe Wanderers and is now currently on loan at Eastleigh.

Him and O'Connor have both been great finds this season, Most consistent keeper in the league this season.

Apologies for the source lads

This is a deal that appears to have worked for both parties.

Time to get a sneaky wee contract extension on the table for him

I agree, I would love to see Joe Tied up on a long term deal.

As I said after the hearts game, get him tied up asap. We've waited so long for a decent one, I want him to stay as long as possible!

I like him but I don't think I like him as much as the rest of you seem to. I still think Ward was the better of the pair but I do agree he's substantially better than anything we had for the decade prior to Ward. I'd be very happy for him to sign a contract extension.

Well, based on the season to date I'd say Lewis should be the next one after Hayes and Shinnie to have his contract extended. Have to think he'd be happy to do so and show some gratitude to the dons for helping revive his career. Worth doing now before the attention to him increases and championship clubs come sniffing. Given the keepers we've had definitely worth the club investing. Best in Scotland in my biased eyes.

I think he is a class act and will be very surprised if no bids for him in the summer.

Said the same in the chat, need to sign him up!

The last proper keeper we had, who wasn't a loanee was Kjaerr, get Joe signed on a longer deal , no brainer

Looks like both parties up for this.

Let's get it done with minimum of fuss please.

As I've said many a time, I really wanted him to get a new deal, fantastic news that this could happen. Thoroughly deserves it. As you say, heres hoping achieved with minimum fuss 

 

Great to hear,did well to find him in the first place.Keeps us a good core for the next couple of years.

Said a few times to mates that I thought he'd be one who might show some loyalty as we do seem have pretty saved his career.

 

Really hope he's here for years to come.

Great news!

 

I know it goes without saying (i'm going to say it anyway) but a good keeper is so vital to a good team. If they defence don't have trust in the keeper it really unsettles them and restricts them from venturing up field which in turn hampers the attacking side of them team.

 

Get that contract signed Joe! 

Joe has signed a new deal.

 

Will remain at Aberdeen until 2020.
