Anthony Scully

Left foot wrote: Playing devil's advocate, He's been a consistent goalscorer and assist maker last year without being selected to start for Lincoln every game and he would frequently be subbed off too when he did start. This season he's not only starting games and finishing games but his fitness has seen him become a 90minute player, I dont think he was last season. He looks to have taken his football up a level this season and has earned an ireland call in my opinion. I think he'd find the championship a place he can score and assist in equal measure. At 22 the premier league might be a good target for him. 4 weeks till the next ireland games and Scully, Bagan and kilkenny need to in that squad and play in the Qatar game.

Why does Bagan need to be in the squad? Stevens, Doherty, McClean & Manning are all there for the LWB spot. Also, Kilkenny was left out of the Bournemouth squad entirely yesterday, so his chances of being called up in October took a hit.

If scully keeps this form up then I'm sure he will make it into the next squad he probably just didn't make the cut this time because of the other options available versus some general issue that Kenny has with him

I'd say he has more change for holding out for a hero than an England call. Agree but there have been some daft ones over the years (liam kelly and scott hogan)

It is an odd one - Kenny never capped him at Under 21 level either, although he was with West Ham Under 23s at the time and a lot has changed for him since. If he didn't impress Kenny back then you'd hope he's not judging him on what he saw at that time and is taking account of his development since. He's quick, a good passer, knows where the goal is and is only 22, what's not to like really? It's League 1 that he's impressing in, but we're picking players who aren't impressing at that level so why omit someone who is standing out in the same division.

Kenny didn't pick players when they were scoring in the EPL  (Obafemi), so it will be a case of whether Kenny thinks he can fit into his system.
