    That's 3% more possession than we will have against Switzerland so it's an e excellent rehearsal for his Ireland career

    Yeah, the stream I was watching must be in house Brentford channel because there was pretty biased commentary, but even they picked Crowley out as Birmingham's best player by a long way

    Is Crowley 100% confirmed as our player? His situation seems identical to Johannson's.

    After the paperwork is concluded by FIFA, it's not confirmed 100% until he is capped by us at competitive senior level, and that ball is in Mick's court. I'd say Mick is partial to a talented attacking midfielder and will come around eventually.

    Yeah and Mick is dragging his feet on Crowley. He should have gone to the Portugal training camp just to get in and around the squad. Mick took time out to go to Holland to see him play and for some unknown reason decided not to bring him to Portugal.

    I think we all need to remember that Mick has one goal for his tenure - get us to Euro 2020. Right now that probably means getting seven points from twelve in the remaining qualifiers). Currently, the next real window for experimentation is next year's Nations' League (unless we either qualify directly this Autumn or fail completely, in which case there will be an opportunity in the spring or summer). Sure, we have two friendlies coming up but we also have about a dozen outfielders who are likely squad candidates with fewer than a dozen caps each. If we assume a fully fit complement of midfielders, then five places will surely go to our Premier League players (Brady, Hendrick, McCarthy, Arter and Hourihane), James McClean will likely still hold his place in the squad (especially as he's one of only two active players who has hit double figures for international goals), while Browne (about 150 league games) and O'Dowda (90 league games) both have extensive Championship experience, whereas Crowley has only played once at this level.

    And if we're looking for a technical, ball-playing midfielder, then surely Alan Judge would be the more obvious option, given his experience and recent exploits for us.
    I think Mick should only be bringing in players who will obviously improve our squad immediately and make qualification more likely. Now it may be that, by the time the October qualifiers roll around, Crowley will be tearing it up in The Championship and will merit a squad place, but I wouldn't call him up based on a few games at that level.

    He was 22 yesterday if he lives up to his potential and shows he has matured he will start for us in the euros this summer and be in the premier league this time next season

    I respectfully disagree. Alan Judge is 31 this year and is a squad player for a League one team. He should be nowhere near our team.

    Crowley comes across as a clown and overly cocky so can understand why Mick doesn’t like him. He’s probably improving in this respect as he matures. But he is an excellent prospect and his current ability is ahead of any center midfielders we have. He only turned 22 and has amassed 92 games of first team football (half of which was in the Eredivise top division), close to Micks magic threshold of 100 games which automatically turns you into a “proper footballer.” From what Ive seen from his time at Willem II he is quality, and has continued his impressive form with Birmingham seamlessly. If he stays injury free he will be a premier league player next season, no doubt about it. Crowley would definitely be a positive addition to our international side, and Mick needs to stop being so stubborn for a change and give him a chance, especially given our paucity of talent in this area. It will be for the betterment of his one aim - to get us to Euro 2020

    Emmm isn't Judge trying to force through a move to QPR and back to the Championship? Don't let facts get in the way of a bit of solid negativity though.

    I'd imagine Jack Byrne is ahead of Judge in the peckin order

    It was judgy that was brought on and did the business against Denmark. Jack Bryne wasn't even in the match day squad.

    In the pecking order, A n Other (Shamrock Rovers) is behind A n Other (QPR).

    Judge changed the game in Denmark as well as putting in excellent free kick for the goal

    Assuming the paperwork came through ok, Mick probably looks at it like this for the Wes slot:

    1) Judge
    2) Crowley
    3) Byrne
    4) Ronan

    Judge was great against Denmark, although he didn't track his man for the Danish goal. Judge getting a move to QPR would be big for him in terms of keeping that spot.

    Judge is now 30 years old , has been very unlucky in the past not to receive more playing time but for me Crowley is the man we need to see in green , big season ahead of him needs to take his chance , has something to prove to alot of people.
    I feel that Byrne would need to move back across the water to be considered by big Mick

If he goes well tomorrow I'd say he'll have a good chance of a call up (assuming his paperwork has indeed gone through - but the way the FAI are directly mentioning him in their press releases suggests it must have done.)

    I see that it's a league cup game in Portsmouth. That would be a long drive for Mick, assuming he lives up north inbetween coalmines.
    What type of car would Mick drive, a BMW 7 series?

    Something steam powered with iron wheels, able to make steady but stubborn progress. Doesn't carry passengers. Probably has a large boot, filled with coal.

    Seems Mick may get more than he bargained for.
    Sean Raggett(Portsmouth), Ryan Burke, Corey O'Keefe and Joe Redmond(Birmingham) are all on the bench as well as the 3 aforementioned starting.
