Stephen McLaughlin

[gastric]

Murray would love McLaughlin to have his loan extended, describes him as 'a breath of fresh air'.

McLaughlin finds himself in an unusual predicament.

[nigel-harps1954]

It annoys me just how many people think he started at Derry and came through their youth system.

Agreed, Clonmany have been completely written out.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Starts today.

[nigel-harps1954]

Played the full 90 at left back. Absolutely wasted in that area of the field.

roberto carlos made it look like a fun position:dance:

[DeLorean]

Badly at fault for the Millwall winner, a carless header back that Fuller intercepted. Stuart Pearce has been sacked as well.

[Charlie Darwin]

Joined Southend on loan.

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Wanted by Southend on permanent basis.

Signed a three year deal with Southend: http://www.southendunited.co.uk/news/article/stephen-mclaughlin-southend-united-nottingham-forest-signing-2653887.aspx

[Charlie Darwin]

Good move for him, it was clear he wasn't going to break through at Forest. Onward and upward from here, hopefully.

on the bench for Southend tonight.
Rea, Timlin, Mooney and Hunt all starting

Phil Brown thinks Stephen McLaughlin and Simon Cox are in with a shout of an Ireland call up.

http://www.echo-news.co.uk/sport/blues/14905649.Brown_backs_McLaughlin_for_Ireland_call_u p/

McLaughlin has a more realistic take on things:


“The Ireland squad is really strong at the moment which is great to see and there are a lot of quality players around so it would be extremely difficult for anyone to get a call up, especially when you’re in League One.”

[Charlie Darwin]

I imagine if we'd had another injury or two in this window Cox could have come into contention. McLaughlin will have to keep performing judging by how long it took Horgan to get a call-up.

[nigel-harps1954]

Goal today for Macca as Southend missed out on a play-off in League One by a point to Millwall.

[nigel-harps1954]

Goal in the Checkatrade Trophy away to Gillingham
