Scores again anyway
I'm pleasantly surprised with his prolific form at this stage in his career, and i'd have no issue having him called up considering how light we are at the moment for choices. After Parrott, we don't have plenty of options in form. But has there been any indication he'd even want to return? He did retire to focus on his club career
Not that I'm aware of. But club career is one thing - a one-off return to try end your career at a World Cup could be a tempter.
Has it really gone that bad, that discussion starts around calling up a 38 year old League Two player?
Yeah we are such a low ebb, cant remeber when its been so bad like we just beat Portugal and Hungary, really its such a low we are at right now, two games away from the World Cup.Originally Posted by nigel-harps1954
League One.
But yep. I think it has. If Ferguson was fit the debate wouldn't be had I'd say. But the other options are uninspiring at best.
Looks moot now - there's a provisional squad been named including four LoI players, but no mention of McGoldrick

It was never even a remote possibility. Our striker options are not much different now to what they were in November. Absolutely no need to be pulling a retired veteran out of League 1. The only thing that matters in terms of our strikers is that Parrott is fit. He plays the full 90 provided that he is. Azaz was good today against Premier League opposition and will be behind him, probably along with Ogbene. Armstrong or Cannon or Idah if he's back will offer bench options.
I'd have concerns about Ogbene. I know he gives 110% for Ireland but his form can be really hit or miss and the lack of game time would be a big issue. HH will stop probably start him but yeah...I have concerns
Armstrong's on a good run and brings something different so I'd like to see him in the squad
Not sure how his two hamstring injuries have affected him either
Well well. He's publicly said he'd consider a call up...
"Listen, I would reconsider. I don't know what's happening, I've heard there's been loads of injuries. I don't know, I haven't heard nothing.
I don't want to go too deep into it. I've been watching as a fan ever since I retired in 2020, I think it was.
I'm here, I'm scoring goals, I'm just concentrating on scoring goals for Barnsley at the minute. What will be will be."

Scored screamer today apparently

Call him up Trap!
At this stage is there any harm? We have zero strikers doing well at the moment besides Parrot. Considering HH chose an obscure left back playing in the MLS for the last squad I can't imagine he'd have an issue with it
Doesn’t sound like HH keen on calling him up.
But with Idah and Ogbene on the injury fence I’d call him up.
He bailed on us when we still needed him, glad he didnt get called up today.
Its really not that complicated!!!
That's pretty much it isn't it. Didn't fancy the lean years but a WC shot and his legs suddenly felt good again.
