I am also massively happy with Franco as a backup - we have had a lot of unproven #2s, but he is a quality option with a great attitude and now some vital experience including Wembley!
Yep. Stockdale was on very low money for the portion of time we had both. This is the first time I think we’ve put a bit of extra cash to having a backup goalkeeper.

Don't bash him if he gets off to a slow start
We should get an immediate indication of intentions when the #1 shirt is assigned. I assuming Bishop, but you never know.
When he comes off his line does he only move diagonally?
#1 assigned to Bishop. No offence, but it was never in doubt
That's good news to me!

Bishop seems a likeable lad based on his first interview - not surprising given we go for character!
@DevC made that joke ages ago but in a much cleverer way.
Just need the Harold Bishop reference and we've done the full set again.
I mean he did get mysteriously lost and then turn up again few years later.
Completely agree. Good goalkeeper for a second choice option at this level. The best we’ve had for years.
Cool. Good of you to let me know
Since Stockdale and Allsop three years ago

I tried doing the song and it got deleted, fair enough.
Lets go with: Hopefully he makes good sandwiches
Wonder if @wingnut has his "Bash the Bishops" hat still? Finally gets to wear it a second time.
What if we made a Bishop chant to the theme tune of Neighbours?
