Carson devastated by England snub

Scott Carson, the West Bromwich Albion goalkeeper, has vowed to regain his England place - having lost it to Robert Green for next week's European Championship qualifier against Montenegro. Carson, 25, was part of the squad for the two qualifiers against Bulgaria and Switzerland last month. With Manchester City's Joe Hart now established as first-choice for the Three Lions and Birmingham's Ben Foster installed as his deputy, it leaves Carson and West Ham's Green battling to be third choice. "Getting the recall for the last qualifiers was a big boost. I was delighted to get back in, but I needed to leave after a couple of days," Carson told the Birmingham Mail. "The club had a fax through to say I was in this provisional squad so, to be honest, I thought I'd be okay and be in the squad because I was in the last one. So I was really devastated to find myself out this time. "I got back in last time and I thought I'd carried my form on in the last few games. Being forced to pull out last time was for personal reasons and things seemed to have gone against me. "It's how I react to this that's important. I have to keep performances up and get everyone talking about me again in a good way. I won't sulk, I won't throw my toys out of the way - I will let my performances get me back in."
