A small piece on this lad in the Times today suggesting he now deserves consideration for No 1 given recent form and that he is the only Irish keeper getting game time at the top level.
He certainly deserves consideration, Norwich are second top in the current form table
which of course means none of the Irish players at Norwich get a look in!!!
Sign him up Trap, sign all the Canaries up!! Sign up anything that looks remotely yellow including bananas.
He's been getting game time for all of three weeks due to an injury and the next international isn't for 3 months. If he's still playing by then of course he'll be worth a look but it's beyond inane speculation at this point.Quote:

Westwood has hardly played this year, and under O'Neill, will not get a chance unless injury intervenes. Henderson is on loan until January, I believe, and what happens then? We could be back to not having our possible first three goalkeepers playing. It's a worry!
Has he signed up to play for us? Nothing wrong with having options and Westwood has been solid thus far.

"I think every player wants to play international football and play at the highest level and I am no different.
"I believe the goalkeeping spot with the Republic is up for grabs really since Shay Given retired.
"Keiren Westwood is first-choice at the minute, but he is not playing regularly for Sunderland.
"I now have a run of games in the Norwich team and it is a good time for me to show what I can do and impress hopefully."
Republic of Ireland plan scouting mission to watch Norwich's Mark Bunn.
Quote:
Sky Sports understands that Republic of Ireland coaching staff are planning to watch Norwich City goalkeeper Mark Bunn in action over the festive period.
The Canaries shot-stopper has been in inspired form over recent weeks, playing a leading role in Norwich's 10-match unbeaten run.
Good god, he's played 5 games, one of which they lost, and they've conceded lots of goals.
While I would agree the word 'inspired' is a bit of an exaggeration, of course the FAI will look at him, as they are watching Pilkington and Hoolahan as well. However, your post Charlie seems to indicate that he has conceded lots of goals, it isa team game after all.
I'd be glad to have him on board. He looks a good solid keeper any time I've seen him which isn't a lot to be honest. No harm in having him as an option.
Ruddy is back on the bench today. Hopefully Bunn plays well and continues to keep him out.
Ended up conceding five.
Yes he was a not so hot, cross Bunn at the final whistle.Quote:

Yes I think he will stay as their currant number 1 for a while to come.Quote:
