Old Trap was apparently at the Wolves v Palace game yesterday. Foley was his usual reliable self, whereas Keogh apparently showed a few touches of sublime skill when he came on (although increasingly true to form missed a sitter on a one on one with the keeper). Unfortunately Ward was injured.
Also had the chance to see Scannell & Stokes, although assume the former didn't perform too well being replaced by Stokes in the 2nd half.
I wouldn't read too much into Scannell being substituted, he's only completed 4 games all season.Quote:

Also good to see Wolves back on the winning trail.
kitson gone back to reading surely have a negative effect on the irish strikers there
Long and Hunt, moreso than Doyle. They had a very effective partnership the last time Reading were in the Championship, so he's hardly likely to be dropped.Quote:

Long did score twice today though it was against bottom club Charlton. 4 of his 6 goals this year have come against the 3 teams in the relegation zone.Quote:

No Kevin Doyle or Noel Hunt in the Reading matchday sixteen for the game at Coventry today. Stephen Hunt named on the bench. What's going on here? Are they too knackered to play?
Irish Abroad Statistics for March 2009: http://www.chatsoccer.net/irishabroad/march.xquery
Paddy Kenny, Chris McCann, Kevin Foley and Stephen Quinn tied for the most wins. Each player claimed three points in four separate games in March
Coventry players Kieran Westwood and Michael Doyle topped the biggests losers table, both players lost the same four games
Alan Judge and Anthony Stokes were both substituted more than any other player. Both were summoned to the bench four times
Conversely, Andy Keogh was introduced more than any other player. The Wolves striker was brought on five times in March
Another sparse month in front of goal for Irish players. Shane Long was top scorer with just three goals
Unless I'm mistaken, John O Flynn doesn't seem to be included in that site.Quote:
