Makes sense if Rocky is to be number one, about which I have no complaint. The reserve will get almost zero game time and we have the young lad we signed at the start of the season to fill the bench. Gets a bit of salary off the books and the squad size down, which I believe may have been necessary.
It’s not done based on age but on experience. Must have started five games to prevent an emergency loan.
Have to admit I had forgotten Anderson was a GK. As an U21 player likely to be no2 GK next season? Bad news for Yates though.
Bearing in mind Stockdale was a premier league player, and i can't remember if he got a cap, but was at least in an England squad, it is a bit disappointing he didn't come close to making a stake for the position.
Some horrific mistakes in his 2 or 3 games and that was that.

Might only have gone for a week or so, may benefit us if he does ok and comes back

Hope so.
I wonder what Stockdale thinks about his whole experience.
Is he just happy being amongst it and being a pro footballer still? Surely he would still want to play every week?
Someone I think said he lives in Birmingham. Surely he can't be driving 200mile round trips every day just to train?

Don’t understand the emergency loan stipulation. Stevenage have an adult keeper on the bench.
