Bosun Lawal

Vata is still a kid only 17 so not that alarming for him! Lawal surely they loan the lad out now. Kenny will be spending a 2nd season playing Lowlands League football when he could be starring for Sligo Rovers having a 20 goal season and as a consequence attracting high profile interest.. 

Utterly ridiculous situation Kenny and Lawal are in. Luca Connell finally got out and already starting for a side in League 1 who will be pushing for promotion and that's with him having gone backwards the last 3 years.

Would love to be fly on the wall when it comes to why players are convinced Celtic is the route to take when recent history shows you get very little to no opportunity to impress there.

Ali Dia (pretend cousin of George Weah) showed in 17 minutes he wasn't very good at football

Also, not helpful from an Irish perspective that they're developing him as a centre back - when he moved there he played both centre back and as a deep midfielder.

I'm not sure a year playing in the Scottish fifth tier has done much for his development either, probably just a lost year playing at that level against amateur players. Fine for a younger player like Vata as a stepping stone but Lawal came in with a decent reputation as the best young player at Watford so it was probably a step down for him. A loan would probably just send him off the same path down the Scottish leagues as Connell and Afolabi, but I suppose it would be marginally better than playing another season in the Lowland League.

I haven't seen him play, but in general, if you were to lose the ball continuously in that 17 minutes. Make poor challenges, constantly losing your man. Players can make a huge positive impact in 17 minutes. Don't see why the opposite wouldn't be the case.

Kenny and Vata were unused subs.
