Not sure about that. The keeper did well to close down the angle. He would have been slated for not passing it had he not scored.
He's going well. He was poor in his defensive duties for the Birmingham goal, got caught in a right back position and didn't really do enough. Great that he redeemed himself.
Nice pass , nice run , lovely simple goal .Quote:

Nice write up in the Guardian.
An assist, a goal.... and an injury for Maguire. :( Subbed on the half hour.
Great to see he's taking the bull by the horns here. If he breaks double figures this season then he will go to the World Cup, provided we get through the qualifiers (big if). Hopefully it's just a knock.
A poster on a PNE forum said he "pulled up" and there are multiple tweets saying he had his right thigh/hamstring strapped as he went down the tunnel at half-time, so sounds like it's muscular.

Importantly for us, whilst Alex Neil has rated Maguire as doubtful for this weekend's game, it's expected he will be fit in time for the play-offs.Quote:

Video of Maguire's goal against Brentford today here: https://streamable.com/mhsoz
It was a super goal; he ran the length of his opponents' half and slotted it home into the bottom corner of the goal from the edge of the box.
Not unlike Michael Owen v Argentina?
Very similar in height too but Sean is an inch taller.
Will he go on to score more international goals too?
Good goal but the defence did not look great, or did he make it look bad?
Unfortunately he ended up on the losing side.
Lovely poise and balance!
Terrific goal and very similar to his first for Preston in a pre-season friendly - this is actually very important as it shows that he's the type of striker who can create his own chances and can repeatedly take on defences with confidence. Anyway, here is the updated list of Championship strikers' goals:
Daryl Murphy: 6 (all league goals)
David McGoldrick: 6 (4 league, 2 EFL Cup)
Sean Maguire: 4 (All in the league)
Scott Hogan: 3 (all EFL Cup)
Aiden O'Brien: 2 (Both in the league)
Joe Mason: 1 (a league goal)
Will Keane: Injured
Certainly an interesting prospect, he is the sort if strike Ireland have been lacking really.Quote:

I think what's good about him, from what I've seen online is that he can score a variety of goal types - fox-in-the-box opportunism; running off the final defender; a decent proportion of headers considering his size; and running at the defence at pace with possession - so hopefully he can keep it up and we can avoid a striker crisis next yearQuote:

Is the Danish manager coming out saying we don't have many players in top 4 premiership teams, and are therefore underdogs, etc etc.
Not yet - probably still busy googling the names of our players. However Danish media is leaning towards a 50:50 tie with Christian Eriksen decisive to the outcome.Quote:

Heard on the grapevine that he's out until April with an injury.
Maguire? I doubt that. Where'd you hear it?Quote:

Same source that sidelined James McCarthy for a few months hopefully.
Either way, I would be surprised if O'Neill have him a shot for either leg.
https://amp.independent.ie/sport/soc...-36289052.html
Seems to be true. What a disaster for him.
**** sake. That's not good. O'Neill probably wouldn't have started him in either leg but it still would have been handy to have Maguire as an option to at least come off the bench as his present form has been excellent.
Hopefully he recovers fully sooner rather than later.
Ugh. He wouldn't have got a run against Denmark, unless O'Neill went completely from left field. Sickening for him though. He'll come back better though. I reckon this lad has the indomitable mindset of Conor McGregor.
Whatever about the Denmark game, you'd imagine he'd be brought more into the team in the friendlies in the new year, whether or not we qualify for the World Cup. You'd imagine that's a bigger factor for his international career, so hopefully he'll be back in time for some of those. We're fast running out of 20-something forwards, and it'd be nice to have someone like Maguire with a few caps come the Nations League or the next qualifiers.
Couldn't see an injury coming for Seanie, could we?Quote:

Considering that eight months ago Maguire was just a LOI striker with one good season under his belt, Scott Hogan looked like he might not declare for us and Aiden O'Brien was only scoring semi-regularly in League One, you could say that we've gained three twenty-something forwards in the last couple of months. We will lose one at the end of the month, though, when McGoldrick turns 30. Hopefully these lads will step up for the next campaign or two, until our younger striking talent starts to filter through to senior level.Quote:
