Van Stap never filled me with confidence.Guess our current number two will go on loan as once Annisi recovers we'll have four.Good signing.

I think "Van Stopashot" has done OK, he wasn;t at fault for any of Saturday's goals.

JAMAL CLINT-ROSS BLACKMAN
Born 27.10.1993 Croydon
GK Height 6’ 6”; Weight 12 st 7 lbs
Career: 2007 Chelsea (professional, 1.8.11); 31.8.14 Middlesbrough (loan); 18.3.16 Östersunds FK (loan) [12,0];15.8.16 Wycombe Wanderers (loan) [42,0]; 27.7.17 Sheffield United (loan) [31,0]; 16.7.18 Leeds United (loan); 3.9.19 Vitesse Arnhem (loan); 22.1.20 Bristol Rovers (loan).
With Finnish goalkeeper Anssi Jaakkola side-lined, Rovers loaned Chelsea’s Jamal Blackman for the second halfof the 2019-20 campaign. First named on the bench for a Premier League game in October 2011, when Chelsea played Arsenal, Blackman was an ever-present as the Blues won the 2011-12 FA Youth Cup and was subsequently sent out on a series of loans. At Boro, he made a last-minute save from Raheem Sterling to take a League Cup-tie with Liverpool in September 2014 to a penalty shoot-out in which he scored, only to see his side lose 14-13. He was to keep three Allsvenskan clean sheets after making his Swedish bow in a 1-1 draw at Hammarby IF and he was named Wycombe’s Young Player of the Year for 2016-17 as the Chairboys missed the League Two play-offs by one point. He also played as Wycombe, 2-0 up at Spurs in the FA Cup in January 2017, conceded two last-minute goals to lose 4-3. Despite a groin injury, which kept him out for six weeks, Blackman enjoyed success with the Blades in the Championship, and was sent off in a 1-1 draw at Brentford after fighting with Ryan Woods for the ball after the equaliser. His Leeds career comprised League Cup-ties against Preston and Bolton and, having broken his tibia against Birmingham City’s Under-23 side, he did not make Vitesse’s Eredivsie side. Of Jamaican heritage, the tall shot-stopper had represented England at Under-17, Under-18 and Under-19 level, representing his country in the Victory Cup in 2009 in the youngest category, and was selected for the England Under-21 squad in 2014 ahead of the Euro qualifiers against Lithuania and Moldova. Jamal Blackman started up his own clothing line, Prodigieux, in 2016, selling snapback caps before venturing into the world of bikini fashion.
He sounds like a great character and we all wish him well.
