The Athletic story about Barden hinted that they might go with him for now
"Norwich had contemplated signing a free agent to back-up Krul following his thigh injury — with McGovern out, that pursuit has intensified. Former Aston Villa goalkeeper Orjan Nyland is on the list of candidates, although Krul’s position will make it hard to convince any potential new recruit they will get game time up in competition with someone Farke regularly labels as “the best in the league”.
This is where Barden has made the biggest impact.
With his need for more experience, a loan move next season is likely. Norwich are conscious they don’t stagnate his development by keeping him away from regular action for longer than necessary, yet Barden’s composure, distribution and decision-making against Coventry have taken the pressure off the club feeling they have no choice but to bring in more experienced cover; any cover.
A few months of him working closely with Wootten and deputising for Krul also has its benefits."
