Steve Harper: “The club made the decision to start with Tim Krul at the start of the season and he has been outstanding.
“You can’t take that away from him.
“Some games he has been quiet but against Fulham, the cup game against Forest, and Wolves he was outstanding.
“He has played a big part in the start to the season and I will continue to help him.
“I know he’s said that. But I will help him as much as I can.
“He is a big player for the future and if I can help get the best out of him then it will only benefit the club.
"This is my 19th season as a pro.
“At the start of the season it was obvious the way it was, I had a few chats with the manager and he told me he wanted to bring somebody in with Fraser Forster being on loan, and that may become permanent, who knows?
“It was important to get somebody in. He’s got Rob in now and when you are a young lad it is important to get involved as soon as possible.
“I have no problem with the rota system.
“Everybody knows I have a million T-shirts for sitting on the bench.
“It is good for Rob and it’s good for the club to get him involved and immersed. It’s a big jump from League One to this level.
“The manager has been first class. I read somewhere we have had a fall-out. We haven’t had a fall-out.
“I’ve had several discussions with him and every one of them has been amicable.
“We have come out very positive and I fully endorse what he is doing regarding the bench.”
