Given Hodgson's comments today that he will disregard the last games of the season, has had his squad in his head for a while, and basically will be going on what he saw between November and March, and given that everybody seems to know there is one spot available between Rickie and Carroll, then (see title)........

i thought carroll would come in and score the goals for west ham, given their style etc.

now, it would be a travesty if Lambert is left behind for carroll

"I'm rather hoping we don't get any more examples like we had with Jay Rodriguez. He damaged his cruciate ligament in a game where I was actually watching from the stands. You hope that's not going to happen again.

 

I ma reading too much into this to think he is suggesting that Jay Rod was going?

Would be v surprised if he takes Lambert. Has looked off the pace for a long time. Perhaps he's saving it for Brazil

Yeah, I think you are reading a little too much into it. J-Rod has been excellent this season but he was competing with some established international talent and would probably have been a certain (but late) cut. Still a tremendous accomplishment.

 

Hodgson's saying it could happen to anyone, including shoo-ins.

 

As for Lambert, he brings things to the table that Carroll couldn't bring in a million years - on and off the pitch; some of those things are "key imponderables" in the cauldron of a World Cup. I think he'll go.

I reckon Jay Rod was going. One of the most prolific English goalscorers, plus he'll get you something from nothing.

 

He'll even score on his arse. How many other English strikers are that committed? :)

I don't think he was ever going to take J Rod, his injury means Roy doesn't have to worry and can tell us he might have selected him. I think Rickie's performed better in the last few games, and what other options are there other than Carroll?

I like the fact Roy will name the 23 and the 7 standbys and not name 30 and cut it to 23 before they go crushing some players. I think rickie is the 23rd player on the plane, if not then he'll be first choice stand by, I really hope he goes though. Adam will be a starter.

This is a wind up surely?
