Don't think he has his own thread on this site, apologies if there is one already.
Kept his 6th clean sheet in his last 6 games tonight for Barnsley.
I don't know if Ward should start against Trinidad, I think Davies deserves his shot.

Agree. Deserves 45 at least.

Only saw the last 30' but the commentator was raving about his first half and the manager said he was their MoM.
Giggs himself has scouted him twice back in Dec/Jan - so I expect there to be healthy competition for the number 2 spot.

Think he did a Larry Lloyd last night.
Will always be a Welsh international now, congratulations Adam.

Just signed for Stoke City!
Hopefully Butland heads to the Premier League and he is #1

Butland dropped but still no place for Davies in the first team.

No game time in the cup either, should have stayed at Barnsley.

Finally makes his debut for Stoke today. Absolute waste.

Given that Butland has the worst percentage save ratio in the Championship this season Davies must have a decent chance of starting soon. I can't help wondering if Butland is playing so badly to force a move, or is just demotivated. In any event Stoke need to cut their costs to satisfy FFP so it wouldn't be a surprise to see him go in this transfer window.

Had rave reviews again today. 2 penalty saves in the shootout in the EFL Cup and a clean sheet.
Admittedly Hennesey hasn’t put a foot wrong for Cymru. However, I wouldn’t mind if Davies was tried vs Bulgaria. I think he deserves a shot considering he’s playing. Perhaps it might give Hennesey and Ward a kick up the bum to find game time.

Wouldn't be against rewarding him with a start against England - if only to give Ward a kick up the arse

Getting rave reviews yet again. 5 clean sheets in 6. Deserves a game in the upcoming matches. Leapfrogs Danny Ward imo.

A good performance against them could see him challenge Hennessey. Selection should first and foremost be on merit - and on merit he's earned the chance to show what he can do for Cymru. |

I'm not saying he doesn't deserve a chance, but I think the goalkeeper's role has evolved in coaches/managers' thinking in recent years more than fans have cottoned on to. Pep, for example, never gave Hart an opportunity because he failed his test on distribution and quick feet, so he brings in Claudio Bravo who's good with his feet but not a great shotstopper. It seems that being good with your feet is almost as important now as shotstopping.
From what I've read, Davies seems to be more of a traditional keeper with a preference for lumping it forward? That might be one of the reasons Giggs doesn't particularly fancy him. Having said that, Hennessey's hardly a great distributor himself.

Seriously who is the more deserving of a starting place, out of the 3 GK's? It's a no brainer. Has to be given a chance very soon. What more can he humanly do to stake a claim?

It won't be because of distribution, as like you say it won't be worse than Hennessey's. I wouldn't say that we know whether Giggs fancies him or not, he's stuck with Hennessey in the competitive games which is fair enough as he's not done much wrong for us in the last couple of years. Davies only broke in to the Stoke side in July, so this is the first friendly since then, and we'll see whether he gets the nod. |

This is certainly true for some sides, but it certainly doesn’t hold true when Hennessey is the first choice! His footwork, both distribution and movement, is severely limited, directly leads to conceding goals, and has hampered his career in my opinion. |

True, I was just trying to make the point that purely looking at Davies' cleansheet record misunderstands what coaches look for in a modern day keeper. But I accept, given his competition, it's unlikely to be held against Davies. |

If that's the case regarding Davies then you have a good point. His credentials should be compared to his rival for the reserve goalkeeper slot - and that's Ward. On that basis Ward is supposed to be a good distributor, which strengthens his case if we're looking to play out from the back. Perhaps they can be given a half each against England. Nothing like a bit of direct competition. |

I think Hennessey has the biggest boot I've ever seen, when it comes to a route 1 hoof he could be one of the best in the world!
