Coventry City fans are reacting to the news their on-loan Birmingham City goalkeeper, David Stockdale, has had his deal extended by another seven days.

Stockdale, who has found himself frozen out at Birmingham this season, kept a clean sheet on his Coventry debut last week.

And in the eyes of some Sky Blues followers, the 33-year-old has already done enough to warrant a permanent contract at the Ricoh Arena.

This is what they are saying about their side’s Stockdale announcement earlier…

This is Stockdale’s third emergency spell this season, having previously helped out Southend United and Wycombe Wanderers amid goalkeeping injuries.

The experienced shot-stopper still has 15 months left on his contract at Birmingham, who picked him up on a free transfer at the end of his Brighton and Hove Albion deal in 2017, although his reported high wages could hinder any chance of a summer move.

He had previously helped Brighton to their first-ever promotion to the Premier League as it is now known, having also played for Fulham, Darlington and York City.
