    I liked the look of Sels yesterday and am convinced he will now be first choice.
    We have talent throughout that area of the pitch so we are in good fettle.

    That area of the pitch being the goaline - I am hoping its a bit more widespread than that.

    I think Sels will get the nod.

    I cant recall having as many decent keepers at the club at the same time.

    Good to see Freddie Woodman signing a new 4 year contract as well, although, its a fair chance he'll go out on loan.

    We'll be losing Krul either this window or next I predict. Seems a shame for Darlow to be dropped back to 3rd place after a decent showing last season, but hopefully there's competition and opportunities for him in the cups as well. Any ideas on Elliot's recovery? He's down as unknown return date on Physioroom, which incidentally still has us in the PL.

    Krul will be gone in January. He needs to get back to full fitness before we can offload. No great loss for me. He has not developed at all. Good shot stopper, but goddamn awful at commanding the box, kicking and everything else that makes a good goalkeeper.

    I like Krul
    I like Elliot
    I like Sells
    I like Darlow
    I'm Excited by Woodman

    Must litterally give Rafa a headache every day, But ultimatley we have two fit 1st team keeps in Sells and Darlow, Woodman should go on loan and then make a decision come end of the window.

    The other thing that needs mentioning is that we have 2-3 GK's injured at a time and always have to revert to playing a kid or a back up, its happened the last two years, maybe with the amount of games Rafa is keeping 4 and will loan one out.

    I think that's a luxury tbh, a few years ago people were arguing that having Krul, Harper and Forster was over the top, and that was all we had realistically for the position, and considering at the time Forster hadn't played much at all for us. Now we have 3 players who have all done a decent job at one point or another, plus one who we've signed for a not inconsiderable sum of money.

    I'd say it's between Krul and Elliott as to who moves on, but one of them has to for their own career if nothing else.
