I think I heard on the Magpie Circle podcast (not sure what episode it was) that Jaros may well be away on international duty with the Czech Republic u21s around the time of the playoffs
If that’s the case then it’s sensible to have got Slocombe in and playing.
I’d say Jaros has been alright, though, not as stand-out as Patterson but a decent young ‘keeper. Think it was definitely worthwhile as Sam looked bang out of form for much of the first half of the season, but has looked a lot more confident and assured since coming back in.
Plenty on here wanted him dropping earlier this season based on perfomances. Maybe he needed dropping for his own benefit.
From my viewings they are very similar in terms of perfomance, not much in it at all. As long as the one chosen (looks like Sam) is in good form it gives us a chance.
