    Three games into the season in Switzerland, and Ronan is still to make his debut for Grasshopper. They're also taken another Wolves player on loan, Brazilian striker Bonatini,

    They’ve taken a few Wolves players, have any of them in the match day squads yet?! Don’t think I’ve seen any of them. Strange one

    Yes saw he scored, I was thinking about the earlier loans. Looks like Dadashov and Gomes also went with Ronan. But I see Gomes has been playing (I had been looking for his first name Toti), but can’t see Dadashov. Looks like they signed another guy Yang from Wolves too. Seem to have flooded Grasshoppers with young Wolves players. Appears to be poor planning on the face of it, especially if Ronan is fit

    Ronan just tweeted that he's just back from injury and delighted to be back in time to make the u21 squad, which explains his absence for last few weeks.

    https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=3ukYOikE_Sg Ronan’s assist at the 2:20 mark. Multiple substitute appearances. Should be nearing a starting berth hopefully. Grasshopper top of challenge league

    You want to:
    Give Ronan his senior debut in what's probably going to be the most important away game in the qualifiers
    Play a defender in centre midfield, ahead of actual central midfielders Molumby, Knight, Hourihane, and Byrne
    Play a full back in central defence, ahead of Clark, Collins, and Lenihan
    Drop Hendrick completely (who's been good for Kenny), along with James Collins, Hourihane, Travers, Browne, and McClean

    Did you not read the incessant rambling in the Dara O'Shea thread? Despite never playing there professionally, he's basically the best defensive midfielder in the world.

    Also Conor Ronan's 10 games in the Swiss 2nd tier has over prepared him to play as a 10 in a World Cup qualifier if anything.

    a) When you choose a team you choose the best players who can play together and are compatible (see the trouble of gerrard and lampard) and fit your system i like to play with a # 10 to roam around.
    b) Of course on Ronan I would have given him this 7 matches before to win the spot, I watched him in the Toulon tourney, best player, and him O'Connor and Connolly were outstanding. Plus he is a real number 10, (another option there, could be Callum O'Hare who isnt available yet, and the Johansson kid who is the same case). Or Jack Byrne, but Ronan is more agile as at # 10.
    c) Molumby, Knight, Hourihane cant play the holding midfielder role, O'Shea can play there in the position is as a libero / sweeper but placed further on the pitch just ahead of the back 4, and when attacking he covers the spots, we defend with a back 3 with Coleman and Stevens in attacking positions.
    d) Play a full back in central defense, ahead of Clark, Collins, and Lenihan ...... Yes, Doherty is better on the ball than any of them, can make a great partnership with Egan, I think Mick McCarthy did the same with Kenny Cunningham. Clark is cover for any of them.
    e) Drop Hendrick completely (who's been good for Kenny), along with James Collins, Hourihane, Travers, Browne, and McClean. Yes our problem is in midfield, we need one of James McCarthy / Hendrick / Hourihane, McCarthy for me is an exceptional player to play the role of the experience mid, next to him a young midfielder to add hussle and pressure, could be Molumby, Knight, Browne but for me Cullen is the better of them all, plus he is very tidy to keep possession.
    Travers or Kelleher and an experience playing keeper.
    McClean sadly is not fitting my system, only as a left back. but we have cover there. James Collins or Sheridan, I like Sheridan more because he played C.L and in europe, better player. Experience is important.

    dont be rude! Check Marcelo Bielsa pocket book, His players have to learn up to 3 different positions besides their current main posiition. Today henderson played as a centerback.
