    Agree on this and O'Shea still hasn't got back into the WBA team so he won't have many games under his belt come June, even if he does make his way back in.

I like O'Shea but feel Collins is more suited to how Kenny wants his RCB and LCB pushing up into attacking areas.

    Don't see Doherty pushing across while Stevens is fit, and think Christie will be called up in June. Four games in two weeks will test Coleman and Stevens has had his issues with injuries. Think Coleman mainly plays RCB with Doherty/Christie at RWB and Stevens/Manning if McClean is out at LWB with Doherty pushing across if needed.

    Richardson has said there's a very slight possibility he could return before the end of the season and their season ends five weeks before our first game. Won't be surprised to see him lining out for us come June.
    ah Doc has been on fire at LWB for Spurs recently and was instrumental in how well we played in Faro. I think he's a very serious option now at LWB.

    Scores his second of the season and joins Doherty as our joint top scorer in the league.

    Another goal for Collins this evening, against Southampton. Two goals in April, and he's been a fixture in the team since breaking in in late Feb (and apart from when he was suspended)

    Sould have had an assist too, not sure how Weghorst missed his chance. Be a shame to see him playing in the Championship next season. Far from the finished product but looks a natural at this level.

    I wouldnt be surprised to see Man United be linked with him in the summer. Hes been on the radar there since his Stoke days. They will clear out some dead wood like Bailly and Jones and they might look at Collins as a relatively cheap replacement who could be a good squad player.

    They also have a history of signing young players with little Premiership football, like Smalling for example.

    Definitely has the attributes to go right to the top. Himself and Bazunu are the two most likely Irish players to make it at top clubs for us.

    This guy is really good. I thought Burnley were going down for sure when they lost to Norwich but with the win today over Southampton, they're in with a shot of staying up. I don't know if he's the kind of player Manchester United need, but he definitely looks gifted in the few matches I've seen him play in the last few weeks.

    I've followed Nathan Collins career with interest for a number of years now. What he is playing at the moment - for Burnley, for Ireland last month... this isn't news - this is the ability he's had.

    He's big, strong, deceptively quick, agile. He's a heads up player, composed and calm, and he's very aggressive with the ball at his feet, very progressive when his team are in possession, and ultra strong at set-pieces in both boxes.

    I said to a friend who follows the Irish teams more than English football a few months ago - he could be playing somewhere big outside England in 3 years time. He's that good.
    Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!

    I watched a good bit of the game last night and his pace surprised me a couple of times. I'm still not sure he's great on the turn, but in a straight sprint he really covers a lot of ground quick. Would be interested to see him in more of a footballing team to see how he'd get on, and you'd have to imagine he's going to be attracting some serious interest with his current form.

    His height, stature and pace are immense. The turn point is fair. But his pace to size ratio seems very, very impressive for a football player. He looks like he's really. When he strode into the box and gently pushed James Ward Prowse into the ground and earned his bit of hang time.. it was all so graceful.

    He should be starting for us if we're building for the future. Preferably alongside Omobamidele and Egan is a back three. I know Duffy has been a great servant and his commitment and passion are immense, but I don't think he would justify selection in the longer term with the players we have coming through who are better footballers and are more suited to Kenny's approach.

    In terms of June Egan, Duffy and Collins should be the three centre backs. Omobamidele is injured and O'Shea doesn't look fully fit, but can provide cover hopefully.

    And that was only a joint winner.

    Before that, you're going back to Jan 2001 when Keane won again (on his own). That's mad.

    Also - Ireland's complete list of winners is Robbie Keane (three times), Roy Keane (twice) and...Mickey Evans. WTF happened then?!
