Apparently dislocated his finger. Could be out for a while. Personally I have faith in Butland

A shame, if true. Butland used to be a very good keeper but he lost confidence. If he is back to anywhere near his best, he will be fine.

Not enough credit has been given to him for his brilliant save when it was 2-1 on Sunday.

That save at 2-1 v Everton was superb - and credit also to Joel Ward for having the speed of mind to steer the rebound away from the oncoming forward. But back to the keeper - I'm a big fan. Touch wood, he seldom fluffs his lines. His agility and speed in getting down to low shots is particularly impressive (some less tidy keepers use their feet instead). Presumably a dislocated finger would keep him out at least until the New Year. I wonder if he should have been subbed on Sunday. Must have been a painful injury. I saw him go over to the touchline on Sunday with his glove off... Can only assume the physio popped it back into place but as much as its instant relief when a popped out joint goes back into place its the damage to the ligaments, joint etc that causes the issues post match once adrenalin and movement stops. I would imagine at least 3-4 weeks out... I remember when Nigel Martyn broke his finger in the FA Cup semi final against Man Utd in 95. He carried on playing but I think he was out for the rest of the season, although there was only about 6 weeks of the season left Edited by kennybrowns leftfoot (14 Dec 2021 7.58pm)
Don't waste your time with jealousy. Sometimes your ahead, sometimes your behind, the race is long. But in the end it's only with yourself!! |

If true we will be finally selecting a goalkeeper who can kick properly & hopefully command his area.

That may be when he did his finger as went over to the bench soon after for treatment on his hand.

You can’t really fault him for a free transfer he’s had some great moments the save on Sunday the Spurs 1 1 last season and the great save from vardy when we beat Leicester when we couldn’t win without zaha That was his debut against Leicester in that match.
