Talking points from Irish football
David Forde was awarded Player of the Year at Millwall, but is he the long term solution between the posts for Ireland? As it is,Robert Elliot and Keiren Westwood are the only Irish goalkeepers in the Premier League, with only a handful of appearances between them this season.
On that note, Manchester City's EDS keeper Ian Lawlor faced his compatriots Sean Long, Shane Griffin, Pierce Sweeney and Liam Kelly of Reading FC in the U21 Premier League Cup, with the Royal contingent coming winners over the two legs. Who of these do you see playing for the senior team in the years to come?
Shane Long had to come off against Arsenal with a calf problem, if this persists who should start up front in the May/June friendlies?
Anthony Stokes scored his fifth goal in five games against Motherwell, to take him to 16 for the season, is it enough to bring him into the squad?
Kevin Kilbane is reportedly in talks to join the coaching staff at the FAI, should more be done to encourage former players to take similar roles?
Joey O'Brien made his first appearance in a matchday squad for West Ham since January as an unused substitute against Crystal Palace. Should he be considered for the troublesome left back position, or is he another square peg in that round hole?
Despite Norwich City's troubles, FA Youth Cup winning captain Kyle McFadden has been awarded a one year extension on his contract, do you think he'll make an appearance for the first team next season?
With more promotions secured over the weekend, Brentford FC will be in the Championship next season and Burnley will be playing Premier League football next season. Which Irish players from their respective squads can make the step up to the next level?
Stephen McLaughlin made his debut for Nottingham Forest in central midfield and marked his debut with an assist. Can he progress to the international side, or are the established players too much of a barrier for the former Derry City player?
