hogso Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Ruddy has broken his finger, so is out of Euro 2012. Congrats to Jack Butland, who is now on the plane! Whoever you are! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 25, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted May 25, 2012 He's a Blues player. Our lack of depth in the goalkeeping department is the worst I've ever known it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 02/03 season had Enckelman in goal, Postma on the bench and Wayne Henderson waiting in the wings. Lerner will have to go some if he's to beat the thrill of having Enckelman in goal.

BOF Posted May 25, 2012 Moderator Share Posted May 25, 2012 Ah right, yeah, England have one keeper. Luckily, all going well, that's all you'll need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted May 25, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted May 25, 2012 yep. On the flip side of having no depth, our number 1 is (or could be) the best we've had since Seaman I reckon. Just hope he doesn't get injured! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Not having a clue how he was getting on, I did wonder if Carson could have a genuine grievance about his omission. I did wonder, until I watched this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 Carson is a terrible keeper. Was awful in 07/08 at villa, and before and after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted May 25, 2012 Share Posted May 25, 2012 I think Hart is a very good keeper but he does seem to have an error in him. Seems to parry a lot of balls away and not get distance on them e.g Bent goal last season or Gomez this season. Gets away a bit as plays in good defence like City but might get a bit exposed against better penalty box predators like a Klose, Huntelaar etc. if England were to get that far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VILLAFC2000 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Injured, unfit or suspended Wilshire ( out) Ferdianand ( 50/50) Bent Walker Parker Rooney (2 games) Smalling Barry Parker Huddlestone Dawson Wellbeck Johnson Now not all of these players would have neccsasry have been good enough to go. But still 13 players is stilla heck of a lot of players who are nursing injuries, suspended or are not fully fit! Does any one know how this compares to others Countires zee Germans much have a few injured the Bayern Munich players have player about 50 games. What about Italy, France, Spain and Portuagal ECT?

mikeyp102 Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Ruddy has broken his finger, so is out of Euro 2012. Congrats to Jack Butland, who is now on the plane! Whoever you are! In my eyes this is a ridiculous call up. It now means that he can't play in the olympics, which would've been more benefital for his long term benefit than being 3rd choice (and nver playing) in the euros Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRS-T Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 I remember when Carson first came to us - he was quality! He was wearing a grey kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I was Hodgson I wouldn't have picked any player who is younger than 24 years old. Butland, Jones, Walcott, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Carroll and Welbeck - I would have left them all out so that they could play in the Olympics instead.

The_Rev Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Why? So they can gain "experience" for a tomorrow that might never come? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRS-T Posted May 27, 2012 Share Posted May 27, 2012 Because how often do we get to play in the Olympics on home soil? Keep all our best young players available for that and put the older players (Richards, Bent, Lennon, Johnson, Jagielka etc) into the Euros.

ml1dch Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 So make it policy not to pick any player under the age of 24, but instead take 23 year old Micah Richards? You've not really thought this through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 didn't Barry get injured just before the world cup as well A player rarely injured in his career and he seems to get cursed when the big tournaments come around Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
