Matt Doherty

 

agreed

Its a long season but they're playing unreal stuff from what Ive read and spent loads of money over the summer too...You'd have to imagine a playoff spot is guaranteed at least

Wolves are 1/10 to be promoted!! Terrible odds considering the nature of the championship as you said

Not too bothered about Ireland, mentioned when he was first called up a year ago, he was told to go away and improve on fitness, defending, and for some reason, defending at the far post. Seemed to be a bit underwhelmed by his latest call up this time around too. His attitude seems to be ' I'm playing well, there isn't any more I can do' 

Maybe he is just being honest and that's fair enough, but I think sometimes it isn't any harm for these lads to indulge in cliches in situations like this, the interview won't endear him to the manager (particularly one as prickly as MON) when it was as easy to say 'I am getting closer to the squad/team and hopefully if I keep me head down and keep playing well the gaffer will give me a chance'' type thing, then nobody is any the wiser. 

Spot on in affecting to be indifferent about whether he plays for Ireland or not ?? Can't see how that works in his favour. Some people are realistic enough to know that for some players, playing international football isn't all that big a deal, but it isn't exactly a great message to send out to the manager or fans, I don't see any positives in it from his point of view. Should he be called in to further squads, I'd say the next interview will be another one from the footballer's book of cliches ''I never said them things'' ''I was misinterpreted'' type one.
