    He’s a right back (or at least that’s where he played for Bohs - may have been different for Rovers). May have played a handful of games on the left but wouldn’t say it’s a legitimate option.

    He played LWB for Rovers and was top class. More effective there than on the right for us. Could cut in or go wide and was brilliant at linking up with Gaffney or someone in the centre for one twos to access the box. He's got a leap on him as well so scored a few from corners.

    Definitely an option if he keeps improving.

    He really stood out for me in Rovers last European campaign. Great to see him doing well.

    Same as that, liked he'd found his level. He was always marauding up the left wing without neglecting his defensive duties. Be interesting to see how high/far his career can go.

    But with more lads staying home for longer and getting decent European experience the transition gap will be more seamless like Lyons move has been ( and even kelly/mandriou to a lesser extent).

    Think Lyons will be the next FB that's called up. While McNamara is having a good season for Millwall he's more defensive compared to Lyons. Playing in a back four you had Lyons making a near post run for his first goal which you'd never be expecting your RB to make. Think the WB role would suit him down to the ground and is comfortable playing on either side.

    Would love to see it. To be honest I'm a bit surprised he's adjusted to Championship level so quickly. As good as he was it's still a big step up. He's a bright lad though Andy and he works hard at his game by all accounts.

    Agree with this completely, he is the closest we have to a young Seamus Coleman

    From the Blackpool forum: "If it was up to me I'd get rid of the lot of them next season bar Lyons. Absolute sh*te..most barely league 1 standard. A complete overhaul needed."

    Blackpool are sort of a mad club ~ ~ Always ( or very often anyway ) seems to be something mad going on at Blackpool.

    Andy was superb for Bohs as a right-back. Seemed to have taken those performances to Rovers as a LWB (open to correction) and likewise seems to have stayed consistent at Blackpool. An ambitious lad from listening to a few interviews with him during his Bohs time.
    Don't recall him either shining (or starting) that often with the IRL 21s but could be wrong.

    Would agree with calls that he's likely to be called up by Kenny sooner rather than later, but still doesn't explain why Danny McNamara hasn't been brought into a squad before now.
    Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!

    RE: McNamara and it may be splitting hairs, but he has always struck me as more of a true fullback you’d play in a back four, not really as much of a centre back or wingback. I’m sure he could play as a wingback I just think he’d be fairly limited in terms of contributing to building the attack. Open to correction from those who watch him more.

    McNamara played as a right wing back in a 3-4-3 at St Johnstone a couple of years ago and did very well. So I don't think it's that he can't play it as much as he's doing what Millwall want of him by playing deeper for them.

    Shame it looks like Blackpool are doomed to League 1,be ideal if somebody in the Championship came in for him,the best place to be for Lyons development I think…..

    Starts LB again tonight but a pity that Danny McNamara isn't starting. Would have been good to see both lads battling it out.
