QuoteHaven't heard anything about Luca Connell for a while. Anyone got any updates? I know the Scottish season ended ages ago. Was he in the most recent underage squads?
It looks like one West Brom had done their homework on. Somebody or a few of that defence were sleeping.Originally Posted by nigel-harps1954
Good to get that header on target with that much power.

Cool little picture here demonstrating the level of experience Bazunu is getting at City, working so closely with two experienced and/or quality keepers like Ederson and Bravo. Amazing to think he only turned 18 in February. Fingers crossed on this lad.
the point still stands, but that is Scott Carson in the photo, not Bravo...
Good spot. They don't look too dissimilar - I had assumed Bravo! For 'quality', just read 'experienced'!
He's been training with the Celtic first team in preseason, he's in a few of their instagram photos
The least he could do is quote the source, or at least link to it https://www.instagram.com/p/CCjqEQSp5SP/
I might be off on this but Guardiola must really rate him as he has been calling him up to the first team squad for training and tours pretty much since he moved there. Is there any chance he gets a few minutes in the last few games?
As an aside, KennysKids is a great twitter account for staying on top of the irish players week in, week out.
right, but i am talking about signs from long before the comeback from covid. He was brought on the pre-season tour of China and has travelled with the first team squad to premier league and FA cup games. Wouldnt seem at all necessary unless the coaches already saw certain first-team attributes in him.

Trying to watch the United match but I've gotten lost in this list instead..
You might have missed Obafemi get an equaliser. Not the hardest finish but did well to not be bullied by Lindelof and to be the first to the ball.
Irish under 21 player Danny McNamara has moved from Millwall to St Johnstone on a season long loan.
His last loan was to Newport County in League 2 so the SPL should be a small step up in standard for him.
Nice to see Coventry on a strong west ham bench
Dara O'Shea has popped up with another goal. A crucial equalizer as WBA were 1-0 down at Huddersfield. They shouldn't be dropping any points here. If it stays a draw then Brenford leapfrog them into the automatic promotion spots if they beat Stoke tomorrow.
Disaster for West Brom at the end there. Potentially looking at the playoffs now. O'Shea played left back for most of the second half.
His versatility makes him a particularly interesting prospect, especially as we don't have a huge amount of cover for Stevens at left back. Similar to John O'Shea in that regard I suppose.
Good to see Coventry on the bench for West Ham, hopefully he might get a few minutes depending on how the game goes.
As well as the other goals and appearances for us at Championship level today, I see Peter Kioso came off the bench late on for Luton. He was born in Ireland and says here he is from Ireland: https://www.lutontoday.co.uk/sport/f...n-move-1379718
Brentford lost to Stoke today so it’s still in West Brom’s hands.Be great to see O’Shea in the PL next season.
I see he was highly rated at Hartlepool. Voted into their team of the decade:

Only 21 too. Hopefully Luton stay up and he gets a run out for them next season in the Championship. Anyone know anything about this lad?

Threw his lot in with DR Congo a few years back but never played so presumably still eligible for us.
Aiden Keena on the move again, this time heading to Falkirk in the Scottish third tier.
Has been prolific at this level in the past, but it's a very low standard
