WEST HAM have told England's next boss: Make Robert Green your
No1.
The Hammers keeper has been in superb form this season but was
suprisingly overlooked by his country.
Boss Steve McClaren was axed after England failed to qualify for
Euro 2008 last month by losing to Croatia.
Regular keeper Paul Robinson was dropped but his replacement Scott
Carson made a terrible error for the Croats' opener.
And West Ham assistant boss Mervyn Day insists Green should now be
elevated into pole position.
He said: "I can't believe Robert hasn't got in the England
squad.
"He has been consistently excellent for the last nine or ten
months.
"In the run-in to last season he won us two or three games on his
own.
"You only have to look back to the Arsenal away game where we
scored a very good goal but he got 25 out of 10 for his
performance.
"He has been excellent again for us this year.
"Why not for Robert? Everybody who comes in should start with a
fresh slate.
"Have a look at who's playing well - what they are doing for their
clubs and if they do it honestly then Robert must have a fabulous
chance.
"Robert is very calm and unflappable. He is confident in his own
ability.
"He works his socks off, he is always in the gym doing his weights
but he has got that ability to shut things out.
"If things go wrong for him, he doesn't dwell on it. He gets on
with what he has got to do next.
"He has got a very balanced view of life. He is not obsessed with
watching football outside of West Ham. He comes in and does his job
but has got the ability to relax.
"You can get too wrapped up in things but he handles it very
well."
