Oh come on: "miles off the standard required"? There's simply no evidence for that statement. I'm not saying that he's definitely already AT the standard required but there is a little evidence that he might be, not least the fact that he was offered a new contract by the management team (who must surely be able to judge his merits better than any of us).
He's only started like eight games and already been on the end of two absolute pastings, 6-0 and 5-0 (both at home!), and directly cost us multiple goals... This season v Portsmouth (too weak contesting the header at the far post) and Crewe (winger cutting past him far too easily) and then last season diving in for a penalty v Sunderland (he did the same thing v Oxford this season, fortunately the player was offside but Law didn't know this at the time).
More generally, he struggles to compete physically and still looks surprised by the speed of pro football, frequently getting caught in possession or trying to take on players who prove much quicker and stronger than he is.
That sounds harsh but just wanted to correct the assertion that there is 'simply no evidence' that he's not the required standard when unfortunately there is quite a lot.
There is also some evidence to the contrary. He's taken a couple of goals well and seems to have a decent ball on him. I don't even think it was a bad decision to give him another contract, just that it would be to put him in the team. Right now he looks like the sort of player (lightweight and inexperienced/error prone) that I'd associate with sides that get relegated.
