The keeper situation is interesting. I don’t know maybe I’m over complicating this but here’s my thoughts.
Griffiths being recalled seems to indicate we would like him involved for the rest of the season.
Button got the nod for bench duties yesterday, I do wonder if this is because CC wants to keep him ‘sweet’ for any cup games - whether that be starting or on the bench. This due to the fact that Griffiths is cup tied.
I also think that if Griffiths wasn’t cup tied he would play on Tuesday.
I think (or hoping more than anything) as soon as we are out of the cup then Button would get bombed from the squad for the rest of the season and Griffiths would get valuable time and experience around the first team. I mean why else would we recall him in the first place?
As I said maybe I’m reading far too much into this
Bottom line is for me Palmer has to start on Tuesday.
