TEG - You and I both know the England manager selection process is an absolute joke.

If it wasn't Sir Brian would have been England manager.

McClaren has achieved more than most English managers in the game. Not even an argument

Congrats Frank

Amazing experience for him and I think a huge part of our defensive solidity has been our ability to play the ball back to him, nice to finally have a sweeper keeper.

As much as I've been impressed with him it does highlight a dearth in English goalkeeping talent tho ... not saying Frank isn't the prodigy we know he will be but competition could be tougher.

That said go on "the Field' n hope he gets a chance to have a chat with Scott Parker n let him know that all that long ball Sam Allardyce stuff would never happen at Derby and as he's already in the Championship might as well stick around at a nice club, with excellent training facilities and live life simply on a low wage for a year or two...it would be a great experience professionally and in terms of personal growth.

"Thankfully Fielding isn't going to be No.1"

Not sour grapes at all. Joe Hart is going to be in goal, that's all

Am very happy for Frank, definitely one of the most promising goalkeepers in English football.
