Let's be honest loses concentration, weak hands, flaps at crosses cost us the title last season. Had his moments but would of got slaughtered in the PL.
Too tall.

Yes, but he could have warmed quite a lot of the bench!

So, based on what we know now, had he stayed he’d have been our 2nd keeper with no premier league games and a years contract. Just because Birmingham want him sold, doesn’t mean he has to leave - he just has to sit tight for the next 2 years of his contract and take the cash. Quite sure he won’t be coming back, as great as he was for us during hit time with us.
Agreed and was sorry when he left so wish him well. Very happy with Mat Ryan though.

I was no great fan of David Stockdale, but l think that is a trifle harsh. It certainly wasn't that one mistake at Villa Park that cost us the title, more our inability to get the required extra point at Norwich, and then at home to Bristol City the week before.
Either way we have come out of it well, we now have a far better goalkeeper in Maty Ryan.

He was a great keeper for us at that time, a key part of promotion first 11.

Never a 'great Keeper' the back four made him look better than he was. I did say he had his moments of alrightness.

He made dozens of crucial saves, that must've somehow got through that back 4
Nah. Double pen save was all his work.

If he was that amazing as some fans think he was I'm quite sure the club would of done more to keep him, they didn't.

No one said that at the time. We were all very keen on him stayed.

The club behind the scenes, not the lay view of fans, thought we should upgrade.
Exactly. Not brilliant, but more than capable and pivotal in our promotion year.
I like Ryan but would have been happy for Stocko to have stayed, still probably the best ‘passer’ of the ball I’ve seen for a goalie.

As speculation grows Stockers might also be 'coming home' (or 'going home' to Leeds), a Brummie fan put this up on twitter.......................

From that video, it doesn't look like he had a very good season.
We might have dodged a bullet there.
