Evan Ferguson

I doubt there will be an international window in his entire career that I'd be less bothered about him being missing for than this one. Would be nice to see O'Mahony get on today for a few minutes. If Moran is called up for the NZ would like to see Ferguson and Moran as the 9 and 10 so hopefully he's fit. It's the 9 and 10 combo I hope whoever the next manager is builds the Ireland attack around.

We've gone from a dearth of viable #10 options to having Moran, Azaz, Smallbone and maybe Szmodics as pretty serious contenders. It'll be interesting to see which of that bunch will be able to provide the goods at intl level.

Going by his assists for Szmodics goals and especially the one Monday night I hope it's Moran. Don't think Smallbone or Szmodics can pull off the pass for that assist the other night.

Smallbone's best game in an Ireland shirt was when he played deeper in a midfield two with Coventry. Would like to see him play deeper next to Cullen and have Moran playing behind Ferguson.

Maybe he was missing today to watch Bohs and Pat's? Oh eh ya ive eh got a sore back. Think ill go home for the weekend

Scores a cracker. Perhaps there's hope for him yet. 

Were dragging him down at the minute in green

Brighton are such a different animal to Ireland at the moment.  The qualify of passes and the pulling of the other teams back four left and right means he gets opportunities to score which he doesn’t get for Ireland.  Although to be fair with this goal it’s less than a half chance.  Decent ball into feet on the edge of the penalty area and two touch finish and uses to centre half as a disguise.  I love the fact that he passes so many goals into the net.  Sign of absolute quality.
