Paul Robinson believes Scott Carson should be back in the England squad.

Carson was a shock choice in the England side for the disastrous 3-2 Euro 2008 qualifying defeat to Croatia in November, when the then-Aston Villa keeper was blamed for at least one goal.

But since his move to West Bromwich Albion in the summer the 23-year-old has rediscovered his form, and now his Baggies team-mate has tipped him for a call-up to Fabio Capello’s squad.

"Without a doubt Scott is in the right sort of form and, if he is not in the England squad, I will be shocked,” said Robinson. “If Scott is not in the England squad, I will be absolutely gutted for him.

“He has been first class since coming here. If England are going to keep looking back to what has happened before (against Croatia) it will be their loss as much as his.

"Him coming here has been to our gain and it would be England's loss if they leave him out. What happened against Croatia is in the past. For players like Scott, things like that are over straightaway.

"That's the way it should be. Mistakes happen but you forget about them and get on with things. By the way he is playing, you can tell Scott is confident and enjoying his football."
