Troy Parrott

That's how desperate we are  Its going to be a long few months until March, then more giving out until the Euros are over and to top it all off having to watch norn Ireland play in the Euros at the Aviva.

I'm away to the pub 

Other than injuries, the only changes Mick has made for the entire campaign has been swapping Hourihane & Browne around for Swiss away, and changing the right winger depending who is (was going to say in the best form, but that's not quite true) in the least worst form at the time. He even avoided making a decision between Hourihane & Browne in the last game by picking both of them with Whelan & Hendrick V Denmark. 

Don't think MON ever really knew what his best team was at any point, but by a mix of experience or luck, got it right occasionally. Mick is as conservative as Trap was selection wise, bar right wing & Hourihane/Browne, everyone else has somehow assumed undroppable status.

I'd have the opinion Connolly would be best suited to us on the left of a front 3 (where Stephen Kenny plays him), but McClean is undroppable, so he won't be going there either. Not aimed at anyone in particular, but I genuinely think people aren't seeing how much of a corner Mick has backed himself in to with selections. 

By the way, in the unlikely event we somehow qualify, we have all of 2 scheduled games in June before the show kicks off, maybe they will squeeze in a third game somewhere at most. For all the talk on here about Parrott, Molumby, Cullen, Connolly etc, what are the realistic chances of any of them becoming first team choices for us at the Euros ? I'd say its a lot closer to zero% than 100% under this manager. 

Crazy. The chaps 17 ffs!

 

People are acting like it was make or break for his career if he got 8 minutes standing up front chasing balls in the channel in a dead rubber of a game against Bayern Munich

 

Parrott has made 2 appearances and apparently he isn't available for loan. Matches Idah alright
