I think our inform keeper is Taznev and should be No.1 in March.

TBH I think Paulsen has had it easy this year playing behind a great defence and he did look a bit wobbly in the derby.

                      Tzanev
                Boxall   Bindon
Kirwin(WB)                  de Vries (WB)
                       Rufer  
Singh          Stamenic          Cacace
           Barbs
                               Wood

Bench:
Crocombe, Paulsen 
Pijnaker, Smith, Payne, Wilkins, Roux
Bell, Just, McCowatt, Rojas
Waine, A. de Jong

How has kirwin gone from not in the squad to above roux and payne?
I also think a bit harsh on the likes of Mata/Rogerson. Especially if the three non-Wood strikers have a combined 3 goals (2 being penalties) from 1,339 minutes this year. Waine has played 49 out of 1080 minutes this year. Barbarouses has played every minute but hasn't scored from open play since last year. De Jong just the one open play goal against an Angolan side in early Jan. Randall has as many as them combined. All in situ obviously, if they get into form in the next fortnight, fair enough.

I suppose Wilkins and Rojas as well; Wilkins hasn't played since November and Rojas is off the injury.

I won't pretend to have watched Tzanev but his stats don't go crazy in League 1: save percentage is 61.3% vs Paulsen's 78% (Sail is 63.5%), goals prevented (xGOT - goals conceded) is -4.13 versus Paulsen's 4.17 (Sail is 2.52) and pass percentage is 31.3% versus Paulsen's 63.5% (Sail is 51%).

I think the form of AFC make Mata and Rogerson look better then they are. I think with both de Jong and Waine you’ll be scoring a lot more in that team then they are.

As to Wilkins and Rojas, yes returning to fitness but I do think versatility (Wilkins) and experience (Rojas) would be useful off the bench.

As to the keeper debate, Paulsen has it easy behind the best defence in the league and Max has good stats as Burton hasn’t had the best of seasons meaning he’s been super busy.

National teams generally pick players that are in form at club level. 
Rogerson & Mata are doing a job for league leaders AFC. 

Waine is consisently being overlooked at Mansfield. He's been in the UK over 2 years now, and done very little. He hasn't really done much for the AWs as well, falcon goal excepted. He's still young, but at the moment others have better justification for being picked.

ADJ has been quiet in South Africa since Christmas.

Rogersons been an all season starter for the best team in the league. I think he's proven he's a contributor to their success and not coasting on the abilities of others. Corica signed him to start in a very strong squad, which says a lot.

Mata has worked himself in to a very good team that was on form at the time. Got his opportunity and took it.

Both deserve AWs inclusion IMO
