    Will Keane - four senior goals.
    Scott Hogan - one goal in his last 17 league games.

    Ross McCormack, who in my opinion is a better player than Scott Hogan at Championship level, has struggled with the step up to Intl football. Not to mention Jordan Rhodes and Chris Martin.

    Before Hogan, there was unreasonable expectations placed on Arter. Three competitive games have completely passed him by. McGoldrick is even worse. Christie's performances are more committed but by god he's a limited footballer. O'Dowda can't get near a poor Bristol City team.

    Expectations really need to be tempered but I fear for the likes of Declan Rice and Liam Kelly when certain quarters are already asserting that they are the bonafide heirs to Whelan and Hoolahan's positions.

    Can't believe nobody is hailing Conor Ronan as the Messiah cause I'm pretty sure he is

    Nigel likes to say "Scripture is a mirror and not a sword." When it comes to Conor Ronan. Incidentally my (real) name kind of rhymes with his.

    I've heard very good things about him, but are you being serious?

    Hogan, Declan Rice, Liam Kelly and Alan Judge. There is hope for the future there.

    Not McGeady he played for Ireland from when he was 15 or so because the Scots had a weird system even though they wanted him. Houghton, yeah, was overlooked until he was in his late 20s.

    What's the story with Chiedozie Ogbene? I'm guessing he'd have dual nationality.
    Surely he'd be close to an U21 call-up given our lack of depth in attack.

    Fair enough for the lad to prefer to play for Nigeria, at least he's being honest about it.
    I wonder would he turn down an U21 call from us? The possibility of switching to Nigeria would still be there I'm assuming.

    Yeah, he could even play in a senior friendly for us and still switch to Nigeria, so he wouldn't be closing off that option (assuming it's something he wants to keep open) by accepting a call-up by the FAI.

    Not sure why we would bother. I really don't think we are that badly stuck.
