With Karl Darlow struggling at the end of the season after some great performances putting him on the radar of scouts and England coaching staff, the move to have Dorus de Vries back in between the posts, seemed sensible rather than a point of negativity towards Darlow. Too many times have young talents been burnt out and managing their development can be pretty tricky. Just as John Gibson was pulled in favour of Jonas Hiller in the final game of their playoff series against LA, it allowed Darlow to get some headspace to recover from this major losses. A goalie tandem between mature veteran and upcoming youngster is seeming often missing in British football, and helped Darlow from imploding; confidence issues are major for a goalkeeper as success in goalkeeping comes from the core of self confidence. He can use the break to rest, re-tune and be back at his best in September.
