Unfortunately I think a lack of proper competitive football on a weekly basis dulls the sharp instincts of any keeper, and you'd see the mistakes creeping into Krul's game as they have with Myhill's.
On a side note though, it only feels like five minutes since that first Championship game of the season in 2009 when he came on for the second half and scraped a point for Newcastle. He only looked about 12!
I was at that game too Ska'd and by rights Albion should have won it about 4-1. Krul was what, 19, and he was magnificent, and you really couldn't begrudge Newcastle their point that day. I think it was also Jonathan Greening's last game for us (or one of them) before moving to Fulham.
