Yeah, think he played under Lambert at Wycombe when he was a kid.

24yr old Derby keeper. Former England U21

Isn't it customary to stop scraping when you get to the bottom of the barrel?

Need some inside info on what's going on.

Can we get General Cacklick back on the site?

Not worthy of you Mark.

Meant to write Ckrulak, but my finger slipped.

Why would it be scraping the barrel?

I know we need some potentials, but we do need soem quality. You're not going to get a fight from me on the point you are trying to make.

I think what we're doing is digging through and underneath the barrel so we can eventually tunnel back up and attempt to climb up the side of it. See Wolves circa 1980s.

For our 3rd choice keeper would you rather have Marshall, 36 years old and never going to be 1st choice or Fielding, 24 years old and *may* still have a chance?  If it strengthens our squad then surely it's a good thing?  Although I'm also hoping for some proven quality before 11pm I see that as a separate matter.

NZonzi in talks with Stoke. Disappointed with that one. Would be ideal for us.

I agree, a swap deal for Warnock would be even more ideal.

Why are we pratting about with 3rd/4th choice keepers though?  The elephant in the room is that our first team squad is absolute garbage, and it doesn't look like anything is being done about it.

According to the font of all knowledge Wiki "Fielding received his first England call-up on 10 August 2010 for the friendly against Hungary, after Ben Foster withdrew from the squad.[24] The decision to call up a keeper whose highest level of domestic experience was in the third tier of English football drew criticism"
