Playing now at home to Millwall, having a good game, 1 nil at ht. McNamara having a bit of a nightmare for Millwall, still looks well off international standard to me.

Very solid today, didnt put a foot wrong, much better than his partner Gibson. Dont agree with those writing him off at all, still has plenty to offer!

Hoping Kenny has taken note (I suspect he is). The Fulham move was a setback, especially after Diop signed.

Probably should start against France. Backs to the wall is his game.

Watched him last week, still a huge goal threat. 7 goals in 55 international appearances, not to be sniffed at. Even if he doesnt start, he can still be useful off the bench if we need a goal.

Egan is on two yellows also and will miss the Dutch game if he gets booked vs the French - I'd start Duffy for that reason alone.

He's one of the best centre backs we've ever had. Got himself back playing regularly, one of the first names on the team sheet for France

Ah, I dunno about that. He was shocking vs France at Euro 2016. I'm not sure he'd be as highly rated if he wasn't such a threat from set-pieces. We've had one or two world class centre backs and a few who had very good PL careers for top 10 clubs.

I love Duffy but f**k me he’s back playing for Norwich a wet week again. As for his overall career let’s chill out before comparing him to Paul McGrath etc.

I agree, to describe him as one of the best ever is way ott, but he has certainly been influential over the past decade. He's back playing regularly and I was impressed last week. he's not as bad on the ball as people make out, but he does have a mistake in him. However he's a great last ditch backs to the wall defender and a huge goal threat which more than makes up for his (overstated imo) limitations on the ball. 7 goals in 55 caps is not to be sniffed at. Great character also, I love the guy and I would start him vs France (due to Egan being on 2 yellows).

Duffy. He's an old school centre half. Car crash waiting to happen when he starts trying to pass the ball. First game of the season he was nervous on the ball and Delap stole in and scored.

Collins, Egan and OShea who are much better all round players who are comfortable on the ball and playing a level above Duffy. Hes a solid player and should be back in the squad, but I wouldn't be starting him.

To be fair lads, his first game of the season was his first start in the best part of a year. He played very well last week, I saw the game and I assume he did well yesterday given they kept a clean sheet and the fans are singing his praises.
I would start him vs the French as Egan is on the cusp of a suspension and the Dutch game is critical.

Duffy sadly just isn't a viable option in any game where we want to play on the front foot. He just hasn't got the game for it. However there is an argument that he could be useful for a backs to the wall effort away to France - provided he's told that all he's allowed to do in possession is either pass it five yards sideways to a teammate in open space or (if that's ever not an option) launch it as far up the field.or as far off the field as he can. Because as soon as he starts trying to be anyways clever on the ball it will be a disaster.
