Still don't get the Connolly thing. 

He's not in any kind of form for seasons now. And he has no credit in the bank as an international. 

I wonder what the perception of Connolly would be had he not got those two goals against Spurs.

This can be applied to idah too, if he doesn't get that goal a couple of weeks ago what has he done... 

It would take very little to have a player considered for the seniors if we're being honest. If ferguson scores a couple of goals for Brighton there will be an argument he should be fastracked...

The bar is low at the moment... very low. 

True, but Idah has at least shown something at international level. I think there's the Connolly of a few years ago frozen in some people's minds and not the current one. 

Connolly like Idah are part of a group somewhat lucky to have had Kenny at underage level. He knows their potential on their day, which is grand if that day ever comes.

I think you could add Hogan and Long to that too.

The difficulty is that we have the wealth of development in defence, even with setbacks offset by positives or new developments. In attack, it’s either options that we want to push on from that are performing (or sorts), to those players we want to progress to not really performing.

Ah stop. In no way are Ogbene & Collins interchangeable.

Robinson is a nailed on starter, no question. Ogbene pretty much is too, though I know you have some odd dislike of him.

Parrott, Connolly & Idah are all more useful than Collins too. Keane, remains to be seen, but he's at least more mobile & better on the ball.

Well Robinson is on the bench again tonight, ogbene was on the bench for Rotherham yesterday. Although both have been good for ireland, difficult to rate ogbene on 2 games really, but both are not always first team players for their clubs...

If our ambitions are to qualify for world cups then maybe we need them both to do better. (Same can be said for all to be fair)


Yes, the mighty EFL Trophy match that Rotherham looks as if they rested their first team.

Don’t listen to Left Foot he has some weird agenda against Ogbene, even said publicly he would rather Ronan Curtis in the squad ahead of him.

100% agree. In reality Connolly, Parrott should be no where near our senior team. It’s seems a combination of media hype (eg. the likes of OTB need content above anything else) & general lack of first team players has pushed them into squads. Undeservedly IMO.

Well Connolly didnt make the last Ireland squad.  Parrott will need to pick up a bit to make the next one.

Both should be included with the 21s...big games for that squad on the horizon

Yes. Might be the type that would turn down an under 21 call up though.

A bit like Obafemi yeah, wouldn't be surprised if he thinks he's too far along in his career now to play Under 21 football. Odubeko a slightly different case though.

If your going to post something so definitive, surely you should say why it's not going to happen. 

Giving them a game in the u21s might be seen as better than having then on the bench in the seniors... 


Ok so on a practical level, players dont normally jump up and down all the time between seniors and U21's. Even if Connolly or Parrott dont start the senior match v Belgium, they get to spend a week in around the camp, working with the senior players and coaches. They benefit from that. There's every chance then that they might see game time against Lithuania.

And if they were dropped to the U21's, then what happens to the strikers in that team? Evan Ferguson has been promoted up from the U19's. Does he get booted out of the U21's and back down to the U19's? Kevin Zefi was promoted to the U19's. Does he then get shifted out of the U19's to cater for Ferguson coming back down? How does this help all of the internationa coaches?

Realistically this isnt gonna happen. Once a guy gets established into the senior squad like Connolly or Parrott, they dont go back down a level.

I think dropping down to u21 is realistic for parrott, he is just 19 and is a fair way down the pecking order at senior level. He  is also struggling for goals/form. It might do him good as long as handled sensitively. Connolly is a different kettle of fish, he's almost 22 and is going to play Ch'ship ftball, hopefully successfully. We need him to find form, he should defo be in the senior squad!

Zefi will more than likely be with the U17s, same with Sam Curtis that was with the U19s in November. The elite rounds for both age groups clash in March whereas qualifiers were held in different months.

Man of the match yesterday for MK Dons and seems to be coming back into form. Developing as more of a playmaker than a goalscorer at the moment, but seems to have re-established his place in the first 11 there now.
