Scores again. Easy enough close range finish this time though.

Key for Idah is he’s playing games regularly. Just needs to see out the season. He’s getting plenty gametime which is good to see.

On the management front they do seem to be favouring experience. Giving Hernandez a new lease of life Hanley seems untouchable regardless of how bad he plays.

Even Ramsey on loan from Villa was terminated by them which was ridiculously harsh very promising player.

Idah's been written off/back on a few times already, like every other young striker we have. I would say Cannon won't have to wait too long before the same things are said about him.
We're decent enough..

Idah is still working his way back to full fitness, people are too quick to write lads off, still looks a bit off it to me, but I suspect he'll make the squad. Cannon has started well at PNE but he's played less than 10 senior games and given he is U21 eligible. I'd expect him to be the main man for them for now. We can see where he is at vis-a-vis the competition come the start of the 2023/24 season.
Idah Dream!

He def is. I don't think Kenny will call up too many new faces for this.
It is a shame really he has had such poor results that he is pretty much under the cosh every game now.
It might actually be better to move Kenny on if we don't qualify even if he does well enough for this reason alone. He is in the "decisions being made to save his job" zone now rather than decisions that benefit the future.

He loves Idah though... could well see him in the squad. Idah particularly annoys me because he completely lacks any aggression and is prob one of the strongest physically we have.

Why do we continue to second guess ourselves when there is no good reason to? There's been no indication from anywhere that Cannon wouldn't accept a call up.

Well we second guess ourselves because the lad has options to play for different countries. But I do agree there is no suggestion he wouldn't accept one. I would say again for sure I would call him up over the Collins, Hogans and Keanes of the world and even as a supporter of what Kenny is doing I will judge him harshly on decisions like this where he could add a talented young player to the pool that is good for 10 years and not just the week in hand.

I would agree with this

Apparently he's in a WhatsApp group with Evan Ferguson and Joe Hodge discussing England callup strategies.

If Brennan Johnson had an Irish granny instead of a Welsh one, there'd still be public discourse on will he, won't he with England. But he's Welsh, so he has 18 caps and it's not even a point of discussion. 

That is absolutely not what Wales do. They happily let players jump between Wales and England and only cap them if and when they want to be capped.

Incidentally, for all the talk about Wales, Johnson aside they seem to have absolutely f**k all talent coming through at the moment. The only other one is (Irish eligible) Luke Harris who apparently has his sights set on England to the point that he declined any involvement with Wales at the World Cup a few months ago.

We'd never find out if he accpeted a call or not. The FAI would ask, he'd say no and then would either be left out or put in the 21s and the discussion is never mentioned publicly.

Parrott is tall and naturally quite good in the air, as he fills out his frame he could become quite good as a link man/target man type striker. He has no pace to trouble defenders in behind so he's going to have to adapt himself somehow to make it any higher than the Championship in his career.

If this lad is interested he has a good argument to be called up instead of some of the usuals.
said it when he signed, by end of season he will be in senior squad and parrott be back in under 21s

Parrott unfortunately lacks any real elite physical gifts the 9's need at the top level. He will prob never be a 9 at that level. no Shock to see him playing deeper as his career goes on.
Whilst I agree, you could argue that Harry Kane isn't exactly physically blessed. He's strong enough maybe but he doesn't have much pace. The fact of the matter is that Troy is not good enough technically to make up for his lack of physicality. 

His ball striking is great. Needs to add more though. I do think he will be a long term international though. just will prob really only see the best of him in a few years if he can graft. I am not sure he has it upstairs though.
