Thought it was strange how a few are calling for Bulka to be given a chance. I haven’t seen him before pre season and honestly I think it would be daft if we gave him starting spot.
He has looked impressive in pre season, but let’s put in perspective, Pickford looked impressive at World Cup too and he ain’t all that either.
He has had plenty good games for the youth team. However, it's true that Bulka will likely need a loan spell. I'm just not sold on Butland; he doesn't fill me with confidence.

This is not a dig at all but I am comparing it to my experience when you go from youth football to reserve football at semi pro level the difference is large when you go from youth team to first team at that level the difference is worlds apart. I don’t think people understand this unless you have played any sort of level of football. That’s why most guys need sending out on loan and only a very small percentage actually come straight into the first team unless they are built like men. It’s not football manager you can not just be thrown in and everything is fine. You need easing into a squad over a season.
I read a lot on here that “well he’s played well for the youth team”. Our youth team win almost every game 3,4,5-0 It’s easy for them at the moment.
