Well, with Harty injured, surely there's only one... only one man to be called up as 3rd choice keeper? Step forward... Stocko :albion2:

Massive shame Wayne Hennessey is Welsh, that's all I can say.

In front of Carson?

No way does Carson deserve to be back in the England fold. I'm not suggesting Stockdale is next in line, but Carson has done bugger all this season and has played behind a Derby defence that have repeatedly let their club down for three months now.

Completly tongue in cheek, he'll never get a cap. After this season I'd rather give Stocko a call up over calamity Carson and flappy Foster. Only other I can think of is Ruddy


Maybe they'd give somebody like Jordan Pickford a go in the squad for experience? Thought he was absolutely superb for PNE when they were at the Amex earlier this season. Realistically, with Butland and Forster in the squad for the next game, a third keeper is only there for experience & "just in case".

Hodgson's third choice while Forster was injured was Tom Heaton from Burnley, so wouldn't be surprised if he was called up. Gut feeling is that Pickford will be called up for this one as the u-21's don't have any matches lined up for this break.

Heaton is a good shout. Quality keeper.
Carson's completely hopeless with the ball in the air. No chance.

I forgot about Heaton, however I'd hope Pickford gets a call up for experience

Unfortunately it's long been the case, that as far as the England set up is concerned, however good you are, or however much you might warrant inclusion, if you don'y play for a club in the Premier League, you get overlooked.

Tom Heaton has been called up.

Tom Heaton has been called up.

I hope he lets in SEVEN in his half against the Germans, suffers a massive* loss of confidence, and spends the rest of this season rooted to his goal line, hugging a security blanket, whimpering and covering his eyes every time a ball comes near him**.

*but temporary - just for about six weeks.


**a bit like Graeme Smith

To think that Heaton used to be 2nd choice behind Marshall at Cardiff!

Rightly so, too. Marshall is an EXCELLENT keeper.

Tom Heaton really isn't. Watch the highlights of all Burnley's games this season - he's been responsible for a good few of the goals they've conceded.
