We had all this with Nicky Weaver when loads of people thought he was a world beater and sadly he wasn't. Hart needs to learn his trade and I think he needs to do that as understoody to Shay. If he comes back to City next season he will get game time as we will have far more games to play but he needs to be patient.
I do rate Joe i really do but I don't won't him being throw into the spotlight where he could make mistakes and affect his confidence in the long run. If he made mistakes cetain posters on here would crucify him like they do with most of our players. You only have to look across the road at what's happend to Ben Foster who is a decent keeper. Confidence shot to pieces.

understoody? :D
They are being asked to do different jobs at the moment, Shay has a very good 10 in front of him and is called into action at max, half a dozen times a game, he has to be alert while doing nothing and be very quick to spark into action. Hart is on pretty much all the time, Birmingham may have done very well but he is constantly exposed and there is no surprise that he was named Goalkeeper of the Year and Birmingham have done as well as they have.
Whether Hart can do Shay's job is a matter I think for the early rounds of the Europa, League and FA Cups, we have enough games for them to both put to work next season.

If Given remains unready, then Hart gets the nod initially. If he does the job, he keeps the job. If he doesn't then back in comes Given. I think it is as simple as that.
Regarding pressure Sis, I think that is part of the job description and comes with the territory. If Foster failed to deal with it, it makes him a poor keeper. Keepers have to be technically good while under pressure. Joe has to be tested.
