Real shame that but if needs must....

 

[whitelion]

Wonder how serious is Maenpaa's injury?

 

[sparkie]

Good move.

 

[LamieRobertson]

I imagine Luton will be gutted

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

The right decision. Just a shame for the lad, especially as we have no cup games for him to take part in.

 

[Marshy]

Sensible and correct move.

Highly rated goalkeeper recalled makes perfect sense, could he break into the first team I wonder.

Good move.

I'm not so sure, he was playing week in week out for Luton and thus gaining vital experience for the future. Warming the bench till Maenpaa recovers then being surplus to season end is not great for him, but needs must for the club

Exactly. Not great for him, but important to us. Glad he's managed to get so much first team experience at Luton. It means if he ever is needed it'll be less daunting.

Good move by the club, if needed he will make a superb replacement for Stockdale.

I'm sure he'll be back out on loan next season to league 1 or the championship.

We clearly need him if Maenpaa is injured and no decent loans available.

Good move, pleased with this. Decent backup for Stocko. Casper I think proved he's not the keeper he was during the cup game - having said that, he's not played a competitive game for some time...

Had to be done-Caspar is a bit too long in the tooth.

It's just 3 months. He'll be training with a happy group, and back to playing regular football next season.

 

[RandyWanger]

Smart move. Hopefully he won't be tested, but I'd feel more comfortable with him as a backup over Casper.
Any new on Mäenpää?

 

[Austrian Gull]

Feel sorry for Nathan Jones but our club's needs must come first.

Casper on the bench on Thursday would have been reckless.

 

[Marshy]

We simply cannot run the risk of even a small injury to stockdale keeping him out for 2 or 3 games and having to play Casper.

The only sensible solution
