    All those players played for their respective clubs at the weekend. I can only assume Preston, Burnley and Watford have training camps on or around the 9th October.

    JJ went off injured against Reading on saturday, and did not play against West Ham on Tuesday night.....that said I think his injury was no more than a dead leg or similar

    Reading that it seems Stephen Ward is being picked as a defender. Must have really improved since his move to full back. Good luck to him

    Lads the one thing that should not happen is that managers slagged over players who they call up to the B Squad and then they turn out to be rubbish. If that was the case then managers would make conservative calls all the time. Staunton did far more damage then calling up those two guys. Ho harm in it at the time.


    Also in relation to the call for Eircom League players. I do not think that Pat Fenlon would be too happy if Murphy was to miss the away match to Drogheda the next night due to this game. The Eircom League is not set up for the players to play international football as there are not international breaks.

    Maybe he feels that McCann, O'Toole and McCarthy have platforms to show what they can do at U21 and that the like of Potter, Houlehan, Andrews don't????
    I pity the fool!.... But suggest ways that he might improve himself.

    The problem is that Mc Cann does not get on with Givens really and does he even play for the U21's at the moment.

    Hard to know what he expected to see playing a Championship side & seems unlikely they would play a strong team.

    Does Trappatoni watch club games live?

    Nice that the tickets are cheap. Would have liked to have seen McCarthy included too.

    Btw it is Nottingham Forest. They do get picky about the Notts thing. Nottm is OK for short.

    I was actually being serious when I said I wondered what happened to them.

    well yeah I understand the league is more important than a match against forest, but still they deserve the respect of at least being told they would have been selected had they not been in the middle of their domestic campaign.

    Rubbish. They'd have taken it as the tokenism it was.

    A couple might be good enough for the B squad but as Neil said, league football is far more important
