He has to be called up surely. He’s flying 17 goals and he mightn’t be done yet 2 games to go still. 

If Lincoln don’t go up do you think he gets a transfer? Has to be looked at surely considering his form.

I'd say he'll stay on at Lincoln either way. If they don't go up he needs to nail down a first team spot next season, it's unusual that a player who has scored that many goals isn't a consistent starter but he seems to have off days which results in him being dropped. To be fair though, most forwards have quiet days, it's the nature of the position.

There's Sean Roughan at Lincoln as well , who's only 17 but has played in the first team. He looks a good prospect and might have more chance of breaking through next season if they don't get promoted.

Is he the highest scoring Irish player in England and Scotland? Must be.

They have some cracking attacking players too 4/5 of them. If he stayed and like you say started more games it would be very very interesting to see could he match or go beyond this seasons goal tally. 

To answer McG question with 17 I suspect he is. McGrath had 16 at St Mirren close behind.

If we were to play a game tomorrow and go 4-3-3, how many folks would be happy with a front three of Collins with Curtis and Scully either side?
The latter two are in L1 but this is our level for now when it comes to goal-scoring forwards.

not quite sure i agree with that... just because some players are scoring more at a lower level than those playing at a much higher level doesnt make them a better player.

if you put robinson or connolly into league 1 im pretty sure they would be scoring loads of goals. you go with your best players

Played very well again tonight against Sunderland. Fast and direct going forward, but gets back and helps out the defence as well. Played wide right - a position where we're not overstocked with options. Only 22 as well. I could see him going on to have a better career than some of our more highly rated younger players.

Definitely warrants a call up in June.

Training camp begins Friday the 28th, and the play off finals are on that weekend. Don't think anyone that's playing in the finals will be in camp. Unless they fly at straight after their matches to meet up.

First game isn't until the third. Plenty of time for them to get involved, even if they're a day or two late at the start.

He was electric at times last night desperately unlucky not to score early. Has 17 goals and 9 assists this season 26 goal contributions. 

Has all the attributes to develop into a decent attacker the more young attacking prospects we have the better. Hopefully they go up they have a monumental chance of doing so. Would make them favourites against Blackpool.

As a right sided attacker who can hit the net, you’ve got to say he has a good chance of a call up this summer.

Appears early in the highlights here with a nice touch and shot. I think he also got an assist for the first goal

You asked if I'd be anyone from history, fact or fiction, dead or alive:
I said "I'd be Tony Cascarino, circa 1995"

Definitely although if he’s too busy getting promoted with Lincoln for selection it’s not the end of the world. 

Right sided attacker too they are non existent for us. He should have had an assist before they put the ball in the net the 1st time. Grant should have buried the one before it. 

Brennan Johnson looks a fine prospect also will go back to Nottingham Forest next season I suspect.

I would say that Scully has seen the most improvement of any irish player over the last season. Would be good to see this progress continue.

Hes been an agent of hope in an otherwise supernaturally bad year. I would go as far as saying he's been Footballs Best Irishman.

I remember watching an interview with him as a young lad and he had an English accent. A year or two later and he has an Irish one. He must switch accents depending on which country he's representing.


He told SunSport: “Sure me mam and dad are from Dublin, so I picked up the accent. A lot of people find it a bit mad.”

After all, he is London-born, a West Ham protege and played for England Under-16s in between representing Ireland’s Under-15s and 17s.

Doesn’t start in their biggest game of the season yet some were crying about him missing out on our squad.

He must be taking the piss somewhere. 

It would be interesting to hear his parents.

14th goal for Lincoln in just his 27th start to vindicate his place in the starting lineup for the second time this season.
