Stevens called up

[Trafford]

Nick Montgomery would have got 50 caps for Ireland

Funnily enough, in the run up to the Fulham game I was thinking “we could do with someone to do a man-marking job tonight, it’s a pity we don’t have a Nick Montgomery in the team.....”

Call-up may give the lad his confidence back. Excellent achievement to be recognised to play for your country. GLTTL.

I thought that too.

 

[Fanny magnet]

I thought that too.

Who would he have marked ?

 

[McGrath]

Would Stevens make a better Full Back than Wing Back.

I'm just wondering as I don't think Eire play 5 at the back (although I'm a little ignorant of how they've recently lined up)

 

[Lane Ender]

Excellent player who seems to be massively underrated by many Blades fans. There are few left wing backs anywhere near his level in this league.Oh and GLTTL

That’s a wind up right

Nick Montgomery should have got 50 caps for England.

Can't believe anyone wants Lafferty over Stevens. Lafferty was defensively average last season, better going forward but not better than Stevens. As one or two have said Stevens needed greater protection with a second man behind him and was left one on one for their goal and Ojo is one of the best at this level. Stevens deserves his call up and congratulations. I think bearing in mind this is his first season in the Championship, he is doing well and has n't let us down.

Yes he's made mistakes, got outdone in certain matches but that's the quality that is in this league at the top end. Overall he's been a cracking signing.

Am I the only one who assumed it was for Jury service?

 

[8lade]

Who would he have marked ?

Pre match I would've gone for Sessegnon may have changed it part way through to Cairney or even Mitrovic but as it turned out towards the end we just got over run so wouldn't have made a difference at that point.

I watch a lot of Championship football and can only think of three or four I'd replace him with. An excellent international manager seems to rate him highly too...

Yea he got a great pool of players to pick from

Republic of Ireland

They're both Ireland

 

[robbiez666]

That's smashing news for him. Great to see our players getting international recognition.

Well we agree on something. Ward, Brady, Cunningham can all play there and they play at our level or higher.
