both foster and robinson refuse to play. foster has probably had the first decent season in his career.
third place will probably go to a championship keeper in which case kelvin davies would deserve it ahead of robert green based on this season. stockdale played a few games for fulham this season but was mainly out on loan at a much lower level. i expect green to nab the third place though.
Hart, Foster and Ruddy. Martin Keown has a write up in the Daily Mail making a case for Grant Holt to be in the squad at the end he say's Ruddy should go as third choice.

being on loan in the championship is not really 'a much lower level' was a class act Stockdale and i think he deserves his chance as number 3.
Surprised frank fielding hasn't been mentioned on here.
There is a worryingly lack of quality English 'keepers playing in the top league in England, aside from Joe Hart there are only 3 English Goalkeepers playing regularly in the PL, and none of them are top quality, Foster at WBA, Ruddy at Norwich, and Robinson at Blackburn.
With no disrespect, when keepers like Ruddy/Kelvin Davies are being mentioned something is up, there needs to be serious development in this field, Germany and Spain are miles ahead in this, churning them out regularly.

Foster first decent season? Come off it! He was brilliant for Watford in his 2 loan spells as well as doing very well for Birmingham last season. Player of the year award backs that up. This year he's been one of the best keepers in the Prem. Hodgson will definetly talk him out of his 'retirement' and so he should!
Stockdale has been playing at a 'MUCH' lower level? The same level as Davies and Green. Didn't really like Stockdale when at Darlo anyway but he's done decent since joining Fulham when he's played.
It's a shame we don't have 3 really top class keepers but sayin that who has? Spain probably the only nation that does and Reina is a dodgey tit!
We'll be fine with Hart and Foster, they won't both get injured ;)

Totally disagree about Foster. I think he's the perfect example of how this country has simply accepted a lower quality of player as good enough for the squad. You say player of the year awards back up that he's a good keeper? Well what do his relegations say? Like Matthew Upson, he is incredibly overrated (I only use him as an example because he's also almost always been a relegation player).
*quick edit* Just noticed you've also suggested Reina is 'dodgy' in the same post as praising Foster...wow.

Germany have some top class goalkeepers too, watching the Bundesliga regularly there is some great young talent, almost the whole league has a German in net which is how it should be.

So because he's been in 2 teams that have been relegated that means he's a low quality keeper? He won player of the year becuase he was stopping a poorish team conceeding even more goals. Relegation isn't down to one player and I'm sure if you asked b'ham or watford fans they'll stand right by him. Doesn't mean it was his fault! He's not a Champions League keeper but he's certainly good enough for a top 10 side as is being proven.
Reina has certainly been dodgey this season, he hasn't been as good as he has been in the past, the Ramires goal on Saturday was poor goalkeeping as well as poor defending. Not his first mistake this season.
