So Colin Doyle starts off in goal today meaning JB is more marketable as he isn't cup tied ... suggets, as do all the noises being made at the club at the moment, that he will certainly be on the move.
Firstly, it's no surprise.
Secondly (controversially), in my opinion it's no big loss
Thirdly, it MIGHT mean less exits elsewhere
Fourthly, I just hope to the big man in the sky that we don't, in true Blues style, shaft ourselves.
Going back to the second point, there's no denying Butland is a fantastic keeper in the making and I would love to see him at Blues for years to come. However, Doyle is an excellent alternative at this level. Not only that but JB won't be staying with us if we drop a division which is of course a realistic possibility ... and his market value would be lower.
Moving on to today's game; I wasn't there, but judging by the stats we put in a more positive performance. I've got to admit I quite like the current front pairing and given what we've seen so far this season, why shouldn't they and the young guns get a chance?

Butland definitely off then?

I was there and we played a lot better than we did when I was at eland road earlier this season. Doyle played in the carling cup game earlier this season too and is generally our cup keeper but I don't doubt butland will be sold, maybe we get to keep him on loan maybe not.
I like our young team they give away possession but they hunt it back down, we will get out done like we did against Cardiff and certainly get a few hidings if we stick with these but I'd prefer this team to the one who played the first game of the season.
We're moving in the right direction hopefully we can stay up! But if Davies leaves, butland, king whoever it doesn't matter we will get new players, these players are the 20th best in the league which isn't good enough!

Whos the top keeper in the Championship ,
it aint JB , so anything over two million pounds , would be a good deal ,if you where a manager of an average premier league side ,would you risk 6 million pounds on his current form at the moment , lets face it, he aint setting the house on fire, is he ..kro
