He's played 39 games in the Premier League, eight of those were clean sheets and in the others conceded a total of 66 goals.
Focus shouldn't be on his past experience in that league, but instead what he has to offer.

His wife posted a photo of Stocko with his 3 children taken just before Bristol City match - caption = 'last home match' - so is that ever or 'of the season' ?
Yes. Well, I'm still disappointed that Fred was replaced by Ward. Moving on. . . . .

Yes I quite agree - my point just being that Stocko is not a PL novice

As previously mentioned I think Stockdale is being quite clever...
Dont read too much into posts on Twitter. He's trying to get a point across.

Would have thought DS & backroom staff would/could/should have used state of the art training facilities to work on Stocko's fitness ...

Great post and my thoughts too.

Perhaps his reluctance to make an attempt at "some" saves on a rare occasion at times could be telling us something-fitness covers many things.
All speculation of course..

His wife and a mate of his also posted the Chelsea link story that came about in January. Weird thing to do but looked liked they were trying to get the club to sort of his contract.
Walton needs a full season on loan as no1 in the Championship before being ready as our number 1 in the Premiership.
It could destroy his steady progress if expected to come straight in next season IMO!!!
What about Damian Martinez Arsenal no 3 keeper? been on loan to a few championship clubs and played a few PL and cup games this season!

What about Darlow from Newcastle
Dropped as soon as Elliott was fit and Newcastle have Krul returning

Agree 100%. For me it is lack of agility. The two goals up at Newcastle where he had time to take a step before diving and the headed goal against Leeds he could have taken a step before his dive. There have been another couple like that which I don't recall off hand.
I think he has had a good season and I would be more than happy if he stayed but it would be on the clubs terms and I wouldn't be bending over backwards to keep him. If the likes of Dunk or Knockeart or as is the case with Stephens, they were potentially leaving, I would go out of my way to meet their terms if it was possible but with DS, in my opinion it has to be on our terms because I don't feel he warrants retaining at a high cost to the club.

If Newcastle dont think he is good enough why should CH.? I know different poeople have different ideas
I like him as well when I see him play but a lot of Newcastle fans don't all share that view and they see him more often than I do but I would have Krull if Newcastle were willing to sell.

Fair view really,in reality we will have to pay a signing on fee and so forth i assume all over again and at Premier league rates,so he would effectively be a new signing anyway,makes me wonder why the contract has been allowed to wind down from the clubs perspective too..it's a matter of figures i suppose.

Tim Krul will be Newcastle's first choice next season, otherwise he'd be an excellent addition. I think we need two goalkeepers, let Maenpaa move on to play first team football somewhere and bring in John Ruddy on a free to be back up to a first choice to come in.

Ruddy is probably on premier wages from their time in that league so would he accept being No 2 and would he be an expensive no 2 as we still have to get a No 1. I would sooner agree a deal with Maenpaa and let him and Ruddy fight out as to who is No 1.
