I don’t like this but I guess if we couldn’t justify an emergency loan or get someone then needs must.

Wonder if he'll be on the bench ahead of Blondy (who wasn't named in the 25, but apparently could be added)
Presumably he will be as Blondy is just a warm body at this point and we're just waiting for his deal to end
Blondy was warming up last week before the game, so maybe he had been added at that point as he would've had to have been sub if there'd been an injury.
But Simkin is clearly someone we rate far higher at this point and has been playing regular football, and Neil has said they wouldn't recall Simkin unless he was going to be involved.

Tommy Simkin sounds like a Vaudeville Comedian
The air hostess asked a Jewish man 0n the plane
-are you comfortable?
I make a good living , he replied

Looks like he will be straight on the bench www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/stoke-city-tommy-simkin-coventry-8898994The 18-year-old keeper, who was today named in the England under-20s squad, will be back-up to Jack Bonham in the Championship at Coventry tomorrow following an eye-catching three months on loan at Solihull Moors. Fielding is believed to have picked up an injury in training today and is set for a scan to determine the extent of the problem. |

Wonder if Fielding is really injured or whether the club just wanted to see how well Simkin is training and if he is close to competing with Bonham.

Small sample size - but nearly 6 goals saved on the XG numbers seems pretty exceptional.

I know it was a while ago but wasn't impressed with Blondy whatsoever I think Simkin has probably leapfrogged him into 3rd choice |

Bastards! We’re as bad as Bournemouth😉 This is all on Bournemouth and the weak as piss Premier League 'Exceptional Circumstances' rule. Their stupidity and selfishness is in danger of fucking up two promising keepers. Neither is gaining anything by kicking their heels in the Stiffs. Both need to be playing. |

More beneficial for him to be at Solihull playing games than sat on our bench. I can only assume we really need him and we're not just throwing our toys out of the pram.
Disappointed Bayern hasn't called for him to start tomorrow.

He was always likely to have come back in Jan anyway and loaned out to a higher level.

What I will say is if Bonham goes off injured would definitely prefer Simkin than Blondy
Tbh would be happier with one of the outfield players going in nets old school like as they would at least be less reckless than Blondy
Simkin is a good keeper, hopefully he goes back to Solihull in January

Absolutely ridiculous that you have to have no fit keepers to sign an emergency loan. Instead we’ve had to call back an 18 year old who is nowhere near ready for first team action here.
After Bournemouth blatantly lied about the severity of their situation, it wouldn’t surprise me if Jack comes down with an “injury” after tomorrow, allowing us to sign an emergency loan.

I'd say Simkin is not that far off ready, got all the attributes for a good keeper, wouldn't worry about him if he had to pay a few games |

I a hate it when parent clubs just recall keepers from clubs in a lower league using some questionable injury as the reason.
As for this, it's perfectly reasonable as he's our player and we'd never stoop to such a dirty trick.

It’s no GK on the bench for me and leave him there. So if Bonham gets injured in the first five minutes today and someone like Junior or Laurent has to go in goal you'd still say the same? |
