Confident lad .

Guess it’s his shirt to keep for now .

Bit dodgy at times on Saturday but probably doesn’t help with the fact he gets put under pressure when we pass the ball around the back so much .

Done well shot saving wise

Not sure i agree with shot saving...some that he has conceded i would expect him to have saved - Norwich's 1st a case in point went with one hand - could have (should have) gone with two... there are others...As part of the GK Union, I want him to do well but if Selvik is out long term, i feel we need a better keeper to come in - perhaps on loan

The problem is, do you throw promising youngsters in a bear pit to see if the can turn the season round, or do you rely on proven players to get their acts together and turn the season round?

If getting the sack was not the first option available you, then you try the younger players in games to test their potential, if getting sacked is the first option you stick with the experienced players and play around with formations and tactics

If Javi was guaranteed next season regardless then the option of blooding younger players would be good for the fans and long term for the club

If he is not guranteed next season his ONLY option is to stick with the current players and hope he can get a better second half to the season

The answer is solely down to our owner, if failure to get promoted results in the sack, no youngsters will be fully blooded, just tooooooo risky

The other issue is that Managers are forced/coerced/encouraged to play the "promising" youngsters brought in by the scouting network above our own academy players
