Only other discussion point for me was the constant bickering between Casement and Duffy - their lack of communication and Casement's refusal to even pass the ball to Duffy didn't help when we were being hit on the break. I think Casement was poor overall, picked as captain presumably for his experience but didn't seem to know what to do and his distribution was shocking. Ironically, I think the disagreement between those two was caused by Duffy yelling at Casement for not picking up his man - Personally, although he still has to mature a bit,
Duffy looks like a leader and potential future captain of the under 21s to me...
He was the only one who seemed to be shouting and trying to organise, reminded me a lot of how Jonny Evans had no fear about pulling up his more experienced team members for their errors when he made his debut for the under 21s against Germany back in Sept 2002..hopefully a good sign but he does need a few more seasons in the under 21s and to play regular first team football before he is ready for the senior squad.
