Hardly tried and tested, so your judgement is based on?
my judgement was based on the suggestion that his Championship goals last year would not have been stopped by a Premier League Goalkeeper.
Hopefully he gets a chance to prove us wrong and right
Far be it for me, of all people, to criticise a fellow poster for clinging onto the former glories of a player.
But Shirley you can see that ship has sailed, and even if it's only just slipped anchor, it's very likely to crash into the harbour wall.

If any of Krul, Maenpaa, Sidwell or Rosenior are staying we could hear of it at any time now.
I expect confirmation that any won't get a new deal to be early next week.

Of that 4 I think Maenpaa is the most likely as he seems happy to be a bit player if needed. Krul and Rosenior will want to play first team football at some level IMHO, and Sidwell seems destined for media work.

Krul looks like he wants a deal.
Option for Maenpaa is available.

I guess the challenge is always having at least 8 home grown players in the 25 man squad. That's where Sidwell helps.
Might as well keep Sidwell then.

Im sure there are plenty of other Home grown players we can sign.....
If they're not going to play, why bother.
I'm all for getting the necessary amount of HGP from Barnet, saving money for the first team purchases.
Sure it'll look a bit bad when in training the captains pick their teams and it's the same faces left at the end.
I'm pretty sure the haggling wouldn't be pretty:-
'You take them all, but we'll give you a 5 goal lead, fair?"

Which is why i'd keep Krul and Baldock.

It may not be that simple as both may want regular first team football which they would get in The Championship and something we cannot guarantee.

It would seem sensible that the retained list is announced before the transfer window opens on Thursday.

Thursday
Thursday.
JUST 4 MORE SLEEPS.
You know we will leave all our signings to the last day of the window. Don't you ??
Making the build up all the more exciting.
Finally, after months of nonsense, the real fun can begin at 17:00 tonight.
.....and Huddersfield will do all theirs on the first day of the window!!
The Large One
Who's Next?
The judgement is based on the fact he has Murray, Hemed and now Locadia ahead of him in the pecking order, and he isn't making his way up it. He has had every chance to impress Hughton to make him selectable and undroppable, and he hasn't done it.
No players should ever be given a chance. They should always earn it.

Even if Baldocks goals wouldn’t have been saved by Premier League keepers, they were created against Championship defenders. Would he be capable of getting into those same goal scoring positions against Premier League defenders?

Interesting to find out if Bjordal signs a new deal as well, or if he's off next month.
