Has anyone been watching him? Three appearances since he joined, got an assist in the 8-0 cup win and got a start today (63 mins) in Blackburns defeat to Plymouth.

He excellent in the 1st half for Blackburn tonight. Looks like he'd instantly be our best midfielder in senior team

I’m sure he will be and it’s another reason why persisting with Kenny for the next three games, rather allowing a proper manager start rebuilding, is madness.

Kenny could give more players debuts / chances. Mind you if they played well the question would be asked ~ Why did he Not give them chances sooner. So, from that point of view, is it likely that Kenny will give new players chances at this stage ?

Missed a great chance to score but seems to be getting good reviews and in a position we are lacking. Personally think he has work to do on the physical side which regular play in the Championship will help with. But if he gets on the score sheet, expect an onslaught of Kenny-out tinted posts crying despair at his absence from the senior squad.

In good times - "He's a gentleman. He's a class act. He's a rebel. And he stands up to bullies"

When it turns sour - "He's the guy who ran away and left his wife for a young one."

I watched the full game yesterday and honestly if he continues like that over the next few weeks Id absolutely be starting him against Greece. He offers us what we dont have in midfield. He was so positive on the ball. With this campaign over its time to start building around Ferguson and Moran.

But to your other point, it wouldnt be a case of why wasnt he in before, hes just started playing senior football.

Edit: Sammie Szmodics didnt impress me at all yesterday. He absolutely should be in squad over McGrath or Hendrick but hes not drastically different from Alan Browne standards

I think Alan Browne is playing well at the moment.

He is, and theres no doubt he should be in Ireland squad like I said Szmodics should be.... but neither are going to change us too much are they?

nothing will change as long as SK is in charge. i was thinking the other day that if he was in charge of say holland, how long would he last? he'd have the players to play his system but his limitations go well beyond the players.

i'd say he wouldn't last 6 games.

i was referring more to the tactical naivety and culture of losing he has introduced rather than the player selection, as in it doesn't matter who he chooses really. he could have the best players in the world and still be found out. a disaster of a manager.
