They'd be just as good but no better for me. I'm not saying they're bad suggestions but they'd hardly massively improve the squad over what Roy went for. The Ox and Townsend are of a very similar standing in my eyes.

Chamberlain is of a far higher quality to Townsend for me. Got much more to his game.
 
Dawson is 31 and hasn't played for England for over 4 years. He's had a good few months for us but was never going to be called up.

Last year I berated Hodgson for the inclusion of Smalling and Cleverley, but don't think he's got a fat lot wrong here.

I don't actually think the squad is as poor as some are making out. 6/7 really good and in form players in there, just lacking a tough holding midfielder I think.

A tough midfielder, a centre half and a right back I reckon.

John Terry should never have been victimised by the twaterrazi and condemned in his media trial, forcing his premature retirement. We might have done a bit better over the last two tournaments.

Ox is way better in my opinion, but it's a shame he is injured.
 
I don't think its a bad selection either, it's as good as he has to go on at present if Chamberlain's injured as mentioned.

More stating the fact that he's got **** all to work with.

Smelling is a bit iffy as he's a tried and tested disaster, Stones looked an incredible talent last season, but I think he's gone right off the boil presently.

When people like Delph, who I think is a decent player but lacking by England standards, are making the squad and starting games, we know we're light on the ground.

Austin is a decent player but he's nowhere near good enough for England.

I'm with you on that.

I know goal scoring is the most important thing, but at international level you need more then that.

It'll be interesting who signs him when DQPR go down.

You could argue Bertrand for Shaw but I'd say leave Baines out personally. I think he's a terrible footballer. I dont know who would warrant a place over the rest of your list.

Interesting isnt it - not long ago everyone was creaming their kegs over Townsend and Shaw. Who was it on here who posted about Shaw potentially being one of the worst signings in the past decade and one that would be looked back on and laughed at.....?

One of the many problems I have with Woy is that he keeps picking Baines who has proven himself to be nowhere near international class for years now in big tournaments as well as normal internationals. Also why do the Man U defenders get picked regardless

Agree that Austin should be in the England squad.

Disagree that it should be in place of Welbeck.

It's not really fair on players like Ings/Berahino aren't in the squad when Sturridge has just come back from injury. Same applies with Walcott, why can't we just give in-form players a chance. You could unearth a gem, instead of just playing the same players who haven't succeeded.

Ings will easily get in the squad next year.

Once he's a Liverpool player.

Say what you like about Woy but his non selection of Curtis has been shown to be correct. Yes he had a good season last year but the pressure of an international game might well have made him revert to type.

Mind you Hodgson didn't avoid selecting Davies for the right reasons(he's not that good) but because he plays for little Hull City.
