KidWatch, GK Special

In July this was NCFC’s GK situation (* = Out of contract 2023):
1st - Krul, Gunn, McGovern*, Barden & McCracken
DS – Berry*, Blair*, Mair, Rose & St Paul*
U18 – Aziaya (prof), Ansen, Giller & Trueman

Since then Trueman has been transferred to Liverpool (!) and five others Loaned Out (McCracken to Bohemians, Dec; Berry to St Albans, Jan; Blair to Wroxham & then Kings Lynn, Jan; Rose to Cheshunt, ?;
Aziaya to Faversham, Jan.)

For training the First Team squad uses Krul, Gunn, McGovern, Barden & Mair, with matchdays seeing three of these on active duty.
Recent U21 fixtures have seen Norwich play without a sub GK.

Going ouot on loan is not always a doddle, as this genuine example shows (names withheld)
Tues – GK X sent out on Loan
Tues eve – GK X plays for new side, concedes four by HT, subbed off
Fri – Loan club signs another GK
Sat – GK X not named in matchday squad
[It is possible that injury played a part in this scenario]

And finally, in the month of November, the official site finally got around to updating the squad pages for U21 & U18s. Go feast your eyes.
