Henderson got injured in his first or second game for Coventry and hasn't played since.
I think, and I could be very wrong, but did Barton sustain a long term injury recently?
That was last year when he was at Preston, he got a nasty case of ankle knack that probably led to his being sold.
It turns out he and Henderson are just out of favour:
Conor Henderson: “Conor’s career has been hampered by injuries but he’s somebody I like as a footballer – he’s athletic and he’s got great ability. He’s had a couple of cameos and it hasn’t really worked out for him yet so, again, it’s a case of trying to fit him into what we’re doing..
“I think the pace of the games surprised him a bit because you tend to think it’s quicker in the Premier League. It is in terms of thought, touch and passing, but it’s a different game – here they’re in your face, stopping you from moving so you need to know where you’re going with the ball.
“Given time he he’ll master that because he’s a really good footballer."
Adam Barton: “He’s a very good footballer, the sort of player you can build a team around, but at the moment it’s difficult to find a spot for him.
“He’s got a languid style which means that supporters sometimes think he’s not trying as hard as he could, but that’s the way he plays and he did particularly well in the Under-21 game at Leicester last week, finding space in the hole behind the striker.
“There are times when he’s got a touch of the Tommy Hutchison about him, although I wouldn’t want to saddle him with that comparison at Coventry!”

Mason Watkins-Clarke who also played has been called up to the latest U18 squad by Paul Doolin. Watkins-Clarke and Sunderland player Lynden Gooch, who is also in the squad, are both American born

Crowley has picked the dark side unfortunately stll think playing gaelic should disqualify you from lining out for anyone but us!
He plays Gaelic but has chosen Angleterre ? Such confusion in one so young. Maybe a few belts of a hurley would settle him.
Watched young Anthony O'Connor (right) and Damien McCrory (left) both play the full 90 at full back for Burton tonight against Altrincham. Not much to report, both were relatively solid, but after the 3-3 draw at home in the first leg, I think Rowett wanted them to keep it tight at the back, so neither was attacking all that much at all. Too bad, because as I recall (might be wrong), O'Connor had some good attacking sense at the U19 World Championships. John McGrath came on late for Burton as well, which was apparently his first appearance since February.

Eoin Wearen has torn his cruciate and is out for the rest of the season: https://twitter.com/EWearen/statuses/269449757779443712
As expected I have ruptured my ACL...going to be out for the rest of the season!! Have to stay mentally strong and fully focused #Gutted
Watched Tranmere - MK Dons tonight. Not the greatest match in the world, but MK Dons featured Stephen Gleeson and Darren Potter in central midfield and Shaun Williams at centre half (was a bit surprised to see him there). Potter was pretty quiet for most of the game. Gleeson was all over the pitch and popped up with a late winner, just barely poking it over the line after a cross bobbled its way to him in the box. Williams did well at centre half and still took all of their set pieces. Otherwise, not much to report from a relatively boring match.

Posted in Jay O'Shea's thread that Conor Townsend signed with him on loan at Chesterfield: http://www.chesterfield-fc.co.uk/new...an-497808.aspx
From that article, referring to TownsendCan anyone confirm if Townsend is Irish? I can find no mention of him on the FAI's website and according to Hull's site he was born in EnglandThe 19-year-old Irish left-back played for Hull reserves alongside fellow Spireites loanee Liam Cooper in last month’s second-string match at the Proact.

was a little bored tonight, so I went through the history of Ireland games on soccerscene.ie to see who are the highest ranked teams defeated, and lowest ranked sides lost to by Irish managers in competitive games, by matching up the teams with the rankings on fifa.com
here are the results:
Manager Highest Ranked Lowest Ranked Team Defeated Team Lost To Jack Charlton Italy(4) Austria(42) Mick McCarthy Croatia(4) Macedonia(85) Brian Kerr Georgia(84) Switzerland(44) Steve Staunton Slovakia(37) Cyprus(103) Giovanni Trapattoni Armenia(44) Russia(25)
