I looked the gift horse in the mouth and got confused
With that squad ,amazed there is not uproar about not even putting some league of Ireland players into it ,there has to be some players out there good enough, mickey Johnson , ??? Who the fook is he ?? Honestly canât think of another international team in Europe that hasnât got any players from its own league deemed good enough to play for the national team

Our squad is a small step up from northern Irelandâs, so Little quality in it .
Wheres the lad from Galway who played for Brighton??
Euros are the best opportunity to qualify for tournaments ,out of 55 teams taking part half of them qualityâŚworld cups are a different story ,look at Italy , havenât qualified for last two , which is astonishing really.

I generally would agree with that. Think we ll have a good group of players in the next few years, good prospects about alright. Sk wont be in charge, not capable of it. Who will is another question.
Agreed, but our poor nations league performance is hurting us in this campaign with Holland, France and Greece in our group. Take Scotlands route, itâs far easier considering they fared well. There is the back door to the euros though which further proves your point.

Iâm not sure on that one . Given their is a perception all the young players are really good
Ferguson and Collins could be exceptional top 4 Premier League players .
We have two very good goalkeepers again Top 4 potential ( can only play one )
Obafemi is decent .
After that not sure to be honest

And Collins canât get in the Wolves team of late. Dropped for Craig Dawson.

Only a few games so far and heâs been on as a sub for 2 of those ( entire 2nd half for one of them). All young players struggle at times. Collins has been on an upward trajectory since Stoke . Bound to be a bump or two on the way.
Yeah he hasnât started a game since 23rd of January. I like him but its worrying he had been dropped for so long . Hoping he gets back in the team

Iâd agree given Wolves are not a great side and the competition isnât like starting for Manchester City
Ah he will at some stage, Dawson is 48.
Worrying overall though a new manager came in and Collins one of the 1st lads he discarded
I thought Dawson was much older but is only 32

Collins might not start against France if Kenny decides to play Coleman as the right sided centre back. Himself, Egan and OâShea are all regulars for their clubs. Collins is better than all three in my opinion but heâs not playing at the moment at club level.
No im sure heâll start. That 45 mins he got couple weeks back makes Kennyâs decision straightforward. The latter, brutal and all that he is, surely has to go with best 11 regardless of club status (within reason, I mean likes of Duffy couldnt start if he was in). Collins may see game time today against Leeds too.

Ah I was joshing, but certainly thought he was closer to late 30s myself. Either way Nathan should be next in line, then again if Lopetegui lasts a few years and just doesnât fancy him what can you do. Though the latterâs comments recently would give you cause for optimism, unless he was just toeing the party line
