He had incredible ability from 16-18, such a wonderfully skilful player. No idea how the injury has impacted his development but you’d hope there’s still a player in there, cause he was in that real top tier of talent…

The 21s have plenty of No.10s. There’s Smallbone, Noss, Tierney, Watson, Grant and Kavanagh - and yet, McEneff is probably the most naturally gifted. Anyway, would be great if he could have a season at Shels like Devoy had with Bohs and use that to springboard his career

Yeah absolutely agree. Bit unwhelmed by what duff has been signing at shels but excited hopefully to see him give mcenneff that creative role.

In recent Premier League Cup action:
Eiran Cashin opened Derby's account in their 3-1 win over Reading. Louis Watson also started, while Cian Kelly Caprani was a late sub. Kian Leavy played for Reading: https://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/2022/02/...-february-2022

Thanks. Leavy has been injured for a good few months since he was involved with the reading first team early in the season. Good to see him back and on the bench for readings first team during the week

Tom Cannon is starting to find form after taking a while to get scoring this season, adding a brace for Everton against Derby at the weekend: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...erby-v-everton - that's six in seventeen appearances for the season, but all have been in the last eleven games. If he can continue to build, perhaps get a loan next season, he might come into the picture as a striking option within the next couple of years

Cannon is only just turned 19 as well, born in December 2002, so he's one of the youngest players in the PL2 this session
If he was three days younger he'd still be eligible for the under 19s!

Yeah very unfortunate for him. Given his unfortunate date of birth and covid he really hasn't been involved much with us so hard to have an opinion on him. Is there a sense that he hasn't pushed on in the last 2 years as much as might be expected?

Nah, I wouldn't say that - sure, he got 16 goals in 15 games in 2019/20 at U18 level, which is stellar, but his 10 in 20 last season is perfectly reasonable, plus he got some time at the U23s, mostly as a late sub and added a couple there. He did take a few months to start scoring this year, which is is first full year at U23s, but he's on a run of six goals in ten league games. If he finishes this season well and hits the ground running next season, then a January loan might be a possibility.

Can't remember ever seeing Michael Harris in an underage squad. He's signing for Colorado Rapids

He’s from the North I believe.

From Convoy in Donegal according to this
https://www.donegallive.ie/news/socc...-mls-move.html

Transfermarkt reckons he was born in Letterkenny which isn't too far away from Convoy and would maybe the nearest maternity hospital that side of the border or fairly near anyway: https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mich...spieler/746571

And his Linkedin states that he went to school in St Columba's College, Stanorlar, Co Donegal which is 10 minutes from Convoy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-harris-89a0791a1

Jeez ~ Ye are like the FBI only an FBI that works ! !

All three goals in the Fulham v Norwich game scored by Irish underage internationals - Oliver O'Neill scored Fulham's goal while Tony Springett got a brace to win it for the Canaries: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...lham-v-norwich

Elsewhere, Okoflex was credited with an assist for West Ham against Chelsea: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...sea-v-west-ham

Two more goalscorers to report tonight:

This is very interesting - Joe Hodge came on as a sub in the 87th minute of Wolves' 4-0 win over West Brom and scored one minute into injury time: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...-brom-v-wolves

Meanwhile, Dara Costelloe was put up front for Burnley against Reading and scored: https://www.premierleague.com/match/...ding-v-burnley

FYI Lee Harkin was an ireland u16 - he’s often listed as N.irish but he’s only ever played for us

Dara Costelloe has shown some decent form since Burnley have started playing him as a CF the last number of weeks.

Arsenal played a friendly against Brentford B earlier this week
Mazeed Ogungbo start for Arsenal, Brentford had Alex Gilbert, Nico Jones, Val Adedokun, and Deji Sotona in their side
