Not sure keeping Marshall is essential. Great keeper for us last year. However he is, I believe, an instinctive shot stopper, and one of the reasons he was so successful was because we were under lots of pressure in many games. This may not be the case in the Championship.
Not saying I don't want him to stay, just that it won't necessarily be a disaster if he leaves.

He kept us in hell of a lot of games the year we went up which turned out to be vital points.
