Not a good sign, but I would hope he gets some domestic cup games

Both of them?

Short of club trained players. Anyone else wouldnt have been able to be named in the squad either. I said we needed Cirkin!
Regulion isn't included so it's an extra keeper instead of Spence. It makes no sense unless something has again happened with Spence.

As I put on another thread, this really tells us that Ange doesn't trust Austin and Whiteman to be real backups to Venom. Numerically, it would have been so much easier to have Venom, Austin and Whiteman on the A-List and Gunter and Maguire in reserve as 4th and 5th choice goalies in the B-list. Austin and Whiteman are club trained so nobody could take their places in the UEFA squad anyway.
I sort of feel sorry for Spence.
If he keeps his head down and continues to prove his change in attitude then there's always the chance he'll get in for the knockout phase (assuming we make it!)

Cole Palmer was left out of the Chelsea ECL squad. Then again, he probably could do without the minutes, whereas Djed needs them. Let's see what the next few PL matchday squads look like before we come to a conclusion.This is NOT a good sign, is it?
Muttley
Jamie Redknapp
Yeah, and Gray covers RB as well.
The more I think about it, Ange probably thinks he's too useful to the league squad. It feels like Dragu and him are the 2 primary backups for the 1st choice backline.
We should have a guess how many games this season Spence ends up on the pitch. 20-25 would be my guess.

if he gets a chance to play! so far not much time even with an unfit udogie

Austin looks streets ahead of Forster. The last time we saw FF he'd got so decrepit he needed assistance getting off the ground
Its not just Spence. Its Porro and Udogie who we're going to be burning out into exhaustion and injuries.
Muttley
Jamie Redknapp
Yet, as soon as FF was fit he was back on the bench and Austin was back to 3rd choice. He's now in possession again.
I don't get the Austin and Whiteman thing. They're both 25 and have not made a competitive senior appearance for the club. They've not even had an English loan between them. If they rate their own abilities, why do they keep signing contract extensions and not go and get a first team shirt somewhere? It all feels a little wrong to me. I'm guessing Ange has no frame of reference as their capabilities so can't take a chance on them.
I'm guessing we'll see another keeper in, perhaps as early as Jan.

4 goalkeepers? WTF?

In which case we should have sold him or sent him out on loan
I'd say if Keely has a good loan at Orient he'll be on the bench next season.
Muttley
Jamie Redknapp
Yeah, perhaps. We have been here a few times over the years though. It does appear that the club have really been focusing on the ball at his feet and trying to get him to have that modern keeper feel about him.

I thought Gunter had crept ahead of him in the pecking order a bit? Both are supposed to be pretty promising though. Maybe sweep out all 3 of the poor ones and promote those two to #2 and #3?
I'm not sure how you figure that? Keely went out on loan to Barnet for the second half of the season, it was only then that Gunter was first choice for the PL2 squad.

Isn't it just Forster instead of Spence, and the other two are making up numbers that others can't take?
NaijaSpurs
Les Ferdinand
Exactly, did you not see Forster last season, he was shocking.

I don't pretend to know anything about squad rules but thought perhaps Spence is not in Euro list in case a club might want to loan him.
