    A decent 3rd choice, but what about our young Swedish keeper? Jury is out!!!

    Think he's still out on loan for the Swedish season?

    Elliot has agreed a new 2 year deal to extend his stay at the club.

    It takes him up to his 80th birthday, so he should be cool with that.

    So Dahlberg is either going out of loan again or leaving for good. No point him hanging around to be 4th choice keeper.

    He's too young to have earned 5 years.

    I'd like to think Dahlberg will get a loan in a better league, ideally the championship. Would be another damning indictment on the owners if he left the club permanently.

    I reckon Ben could be on his way. They are keeping Elliott as experience in the changing room, then looking to get Bachmann as no.1 with Dahlberg as his backup. Parkes out on loan?

    Wishful thinking maybe, but Ben’s days as a starter for us are clearly numbered and I think he will want to finish his career playing.

    Why? Is he that good? I have no idea. This is a genuine question.

    He had the potential. The question is, have we helped him to squander it? He's still young so, I imagine, the potential is still there. By most accounts he's done well on loan, he needs to be tested at a more competitive level.

    Confirmation of his 2 year extension snuck in at the bottom of the Fletcher announcement.

    This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

    I’m sure I saw him in a sleeping bag in the subway by the Cassiobury estate.

    That's concerning from a fulltime professional footballer of any level let alone Premier league.
