I thought he had a patch around Dukes Mound.
Defoe still being selected shows that with a few injuries how short the striking options are presently.
If Walcott gets more starts for the Goons that will help and if Preston come up, Nugent might surprise a few people.

I like the look of Nugent.
bring back B internationals I say.

i just think he exaggerates alot of saves that i feel he could hold onto instead of putting them out for corners like he did sunday in which Vidic ended up scoring from...
still in the top 3 keepers in the England set up... but i feel the youngsters are definetly closing the gap and putting pressure on him for his position which is all good for English football...

He was going the wrong way for that save!

Either that or be allowed to use 3 over aged players in U21 Friendlies.

also postionally he hasn't been great especially for the 2nd Arsenal goal in the 1st leg of the semi final...

Im his biggest critic, Thats why I said for England.

B Team could work as a stepping stone if they play "lesser" sides such as Hungary again.

The problem is when you get to friendly's for the senior side there are normally so many drop outs that it resembles a 'B' side anyway.
tis true.
How bout we just appoint a manager who knows what they are doing?

yeah can't remember a great deal of mistakes except for the blindingly obvious one...
then again don't remember that many fantastic saves that stand out except the Wales game at the Millenium stadium...
hes a good keeper but good to see him being put under pressure for his place...

Well that would have been silly.
I mean what does Hiddink know that McLaren does not?

How many shots does an England Keeper have to really make in a game?

point taken...
my point is im not convinced he is the best keeper in England and i think with the pressure being applied on him for his number one spot will begin to tell in time...

Of the current crop Gerrard.
Suspect G Neville has the better standing within the squad, but it would be a short term appointment, as he is likely to go after the next Euro's, unless he decides to stick around to try and get to 126 caps.

Agree completely. Woodgate is more mobile, and better on the ball.
Terry is a very good player, especially at club level, but hasnt looked that good for England, where he hasn't got someone like Makelele protecting him.
