Prompted by my last comment on the James McCarthy thread I think it's worthwhile having a "form players" thread. Players can be added or taken off.
I'd start with:
McCarthy
O'Brien
Hoolahan
Coleman
Long
Clark
Gibson
Mark Bunn
McClean hasn't had a great season but by all accounts his last couple of games have been much better.
We're clutching at straws a bit for good news on the international front, so "form" is to be interpreted as encouraging form rather than stellar form!
Pilkington too probably. Is form really that relevant 6 weeks before our next game and 3 months before our next qualifier?
Yes, I think so. The above have actually been consistent all season anyway. The likes of Whelan and Walters have been steady but unspectacular. The above have done enough already this season to warrant a squad place at the very least and in my opinion should probably be starting.
Form is definitely relevant, but should be over a certain period of time rather than just current. The other side is however, that club form, doesn't always transfer over to international level as has been proven many times in the past.
O'Shea got MOM against Southampton
Yes I noticed JOSH got a 9 on Sky Sport rating, pretty rare for him to get a MOM IIRC.
Shane Long was drooped for the last match.
Is Robbie taken off b/c the season is over? I mean he was the best player in MLS this time last month.
Looked pretty down alright...Quote:
