There are only 3 James McCleans , 3 James McCleans.............
Him and Obafemi brought the team together. With just attitude
Keane playing very well. Created another chance too that Wigan should absolutely have scored as well.
Good finish from James McClean ~ He’s looking fit.
Will Keane ~ One of those players that ya always wonder what might have been if he did not have all those serious injuries. Hope he has a good run at it, from here on in.
Still getting sectarian abuse from the stands. Only this time it’s some home fans. Shocking and shameful that it’s not a bigger deal, really.

Anti-Irish nationalist / anti-catholic abuse is widely tolerated in the UK. Sure they burn effigies of the Pope in the south east on Bonfire Night. West Scotland is riddled with sectarianism. If any of that type of abuse was directed at black/asian/muslim/jewish/LGBT+ it'd be denounced loudly
and immediately.

Wigan have been late paying wages for the third time in six months, and rumours the owners are looking to sell. Can see Derry make a good offer to McClean in January. Especially if funds at Wigan are tight and the club are willing to not stand in the way of some high earners leaving.
McClean did post a picture of his "last (for now) Derry jersey" on Instagram the other day.
If he were to come home, he'd need to be of an age to provide some level of value to Derry, at least. Turns 34 next year, and if Derry want to push on to the next level, then now is the time to get him rather than a year or two when he's lost his burst of pace.

On the other hand, if I'm James, there's no way I'm coming home as long as I'm part of the international set up. he's playing well in the championship and probably starting on merit. Can't imagine he's selected for a squad if he drops to LOI
he wont be dropped if he moves to derry now.
He'll probably play out the championship season and join Derry in time for European games next summer. He'll have a few international games under his belt by then anyway.

Has assisted both of Wigan's goals today, both corners.
Got booed a bit today and after a foul on Okoflex, the commentator annoyingly referred to him as the "pantomime villain" for the Swansea fans
Himself and Keane will likely return to a new manager after the internationals after Wigan sacked Leam Richardson. Though they'll likely promote from within too.
