good call

Whats happened to Ian Lawlor this season. A quick look at their EDS team shows he hasnt even made the bench for any of their games this season. Is he on loan somewhere ??  Wiki says he returned to City in June 2016 from his loan spell at Bury

Yeah, injured, which is a shame. He went on the pre-season tour along with Angus Gunn, another young GK. Gunn has now firmly established himself as the No 3 keeper, Ian wasn't included in the squad photo the other day, so he'd be best to get himself out on loan or permanently again when he returns from injury.

I based it on the fact he was ahead of Lawlor in U21 setup...which was more likely due to injury my Football Manager experience has nothing to do with it...if my football manager view was swaying it I'd have him nowhere near the team as he moans when he was left out of my World Cup squad despite him carrying an injury and then decided to accept a call up to USA!!

I said I haven't seen much of him bar u21 games  and FM

who from League 1 made the squad?

Called up to replace Westwood

Neil O'Riordan saying Lawlor is set to join Doncaster Rovers on a permanent deal

I don't think that's the worst move. They look very likely to bounce straight back up to League One and they were in the Championship recently enough.
