The loan signing from Newcastle United has had to be patient but made his debut in the 4-2 victory and looks set to be part of the training camp in Spain and push for inclusion in the competition again, when we return to action with the home tie against Burnley before Christmas.
In a recent interview with club media, he discussed his goalkeeping style and why the region seems to be producing so many talented stoppers, with Matej Kovar, Ondrej Mastny and Radek Vitek on the Reds' books.
Kovar is currently on loan at Sparta Prague in Czech Republic, his homeland, while Under-21s ace Mastny and FA Youth Cup-winning no.
