Ruddy hell, there's a Wright Turner up for the books...

Everton's Scottish international 'keeper has had a great time at Hillsborough, keeping three clean sheets and helping the Owls produce an 11-match unbeaten run that has put them to within touching distance of the play-off positions.

But he has been recalled from that loan spell, presumably, to play in goal against Man United on Saturday as Tim Howard is ineligable for the game.

There's been a lot of confusion as to whether or not Howard would be able to play against United as the news broke, back in February, that we had signed him from the Old Trafford club.

All that had actually happened though was that we had agreed a deal with Man United to make the move to Goodison a permanent one.

Which means that we can't actually sign him until the transfer window re-opens in June and, therefore, he is still just on loan from United and so can't play in goal against them.

But, the prospect of seeing Richard Wright face United's strike force was obviously giving David Moyes the sort of sweats normally associated with Steve Watson stepping off the bench and so he decided to recall Turner.

In other goalkeeping news, John Ruddy helped Bristol City to a 3-1 win over Carlisle on Saturday after signing for the West Country club late on Friday.
