meh, 3rd keeper is very very rarely used and butland will probably 1 day be either number 1 or a strong number 2, getting him involved and in training/used to the experience is fine imo.

exactly, take him along and get him used to it. but however unlikely it is that the 3rd choice will play it is still possible and he's not ready

think it's fair to say he will be a top level keeper but league 2 football is no prep for playing for england at a major championship. taking him along as a non player for the experience would be fine but surely we should have someone in the squad who's played more/higher than 20 games in the 4th tier

Hodgson not popular with the Celtic fans - as we try to re-sign a 24 year old English keeper who's set a clean sheets record 2 seasons running behind an unsettled defence he's ignored for a league 2 keeper. That'll be him pissing about at West Ham or somewhere next season instead of being tested in Europe.

QPR are planning a £6m move for Birmingham City's England U21 goalkeeper Jack Butland that could lead to current No 1 Paddy Kenny joining Leeds.

have seen a fair bit of butland he is promising

personally the lad who has been on loan at celtic would be for me probably as even second choice.

what is questionable is some experienced journalists on twitter stating butland will be world class. This is just silly playing in league two (were he made a couple of howlers btw as well as some excellent games) in no way shows anybody he will be world class.

The level that a keeper plays at is far less important than for other positions - the lesser quality strikers he's up against is compensated by the clumsier defenders he has in front of him.

What is important for a keeper is that he is playing competitive football every week - better to be playing in League 2 than sat on the bench in the Premier League.

that argument makes some sense

however remember cheltenham are a pretty solid and experienced and very well set up side so i would not agree with that to much

It's a pity Ruddy has had to pull out, he has been impressive this season.
