That said, he did carry that form to the next level, with 34 in three seasons at Coventry, Inter and Leeds. In fairness, I don't yet see Ferguson coming near to Robbie's final international figure, but I can see him becoming our second highest scorer, by some margin - I still think we could be looking at the 40-50 range for him.
Meanwhile, Parrott and Idah are both on track to surpass Niall Quinn's total - so if we can sort out our midfield, perhaps there's still hope for the future
 
			
			 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
				
			
			
			
				 
  
 Let's not go down the embarrassment of the embarrassment of riches thread again...
Let's be honest, if we're too come close to qualifying for anything again, the likes of Idah need to get phased out for someone else. (But who that man could be I just don't know)
 
			
			 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
				
			
			 
			
				 
  
 Not even brought on when Dovbyk was subbed off today.
Will be interesting to see if he even gets a few minutes near the end.
Update - he didn't.

 Manager said he had ankle issue, deep breaths his career not over yet.... but now I worry about will he pull out of Ireland squad
Its really not that complicated!!!
 
			
			 
					
						 
					
				
			
			 
			
				 
  
 I will repeat my previously voiced assessment that I think Brighton badly managed his ankle injury a couple of years ago. Hopefully this is not a reoccurance and it is something minor - because this kid still has the potential to be the best ever to play for Ireland.
 
			
			 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
				
			
			 
			
				 
  
  
			
			 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
				
			
			 
			
				 
  
  
			
			 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
				
			
			 
			
				 
  
 Doesn't start for Roma tonight even though Dovbyk isn't starting either. Will be interesting to see which of them is the manager's pick to come in off the bench. A bit concerning if he's now down to third choice at centre forward.
 
			
			 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
				
			
			 
			
				 
  
 In a difficult position now, falling down the pecking order. Needs a goal or two to get back in the mix, but isn't getting enough minutes to have a realistic chance of scoring the goals he needs.
 
			
			 
					
				
			
			 
			
				 
  
 Not surprised Gasperini picked a more experience forward in Dybla for such a big game. I think Evan will be grand, new league, doesn't speak the language, he'll need time to settle. With Eurpe and the cup, they'll be playing 2 games a week for most of the season so should get his opportunity. Hopefully he'll start against Pizen thurs and open his account.
 
			
			 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
						 
					
				
			
			
			
				 
			
			 
			
				 
  
 Something to note. Evan had his 21st birthday yesterday. Already has the same amount of International goals as Damien Duff, and has dealt with a serious injury that ruined a season and a half for him. Roma fans online love him from what I can see, he's doing fine
Its really not that complicated!!!

 He got kicked in the ankle in 1st minute and he has to come off already. Hes been carrying that ankle all season, I wonder will it lead to being out for a while now to fix it properly. So annoying
Its really not that complicated!!!
