LONDON, Nov 25 (Reuters) - England goalkeeper David James has described Steve McClaren's decision to hand Scott Carson his competitive debut in Wednesday's 3-2 European Championship qualifying defeat to Croatia as "ludicrous".

"One major problem was our goalkeeping situation." the Portsmouth keeper wrote in his column in the Observer after a Carson error led to Croatia's first goal. "At the last hurdle we switched goalkeepers and heaped pressure on ourselves."

"In the meantime the number-two goalkeeper sitting on the bench rotated between five of us. It's ludicrous."
