Fair play to him. He deserves the call up and it's nice to see a baggie in the squad.
I wasn't a fan at all during our 2 seasons in the Championship. I thought he made too many errors that cost us points, particularly failing to deal with crosses and command the box.
But I call a square a square and he's come on leaps and bounds this year. He's probably more suited to the Premier League when there are less teams laying siege to the box aerially than in the Championship. He was always a good shot stopper, so it's helped his cause that we spent 6 months without a midfielder at the club who bothered closing down shots. At times he's been a battering ram, having to keep us in games.
I suspect he will be one of those sold in the summer to generate some funds for the rebuild, given he's unlikely to sign a new contract. This should add a few extra ££££'s on the fee too, so can only be a good thing.
