Why has Smallbone come back to training a lot sooner than Bazunu, Stuey, Janny B etc? Did he drop out of the Irish squad early or is he trying to impress the new management? If so, fair play.
I'm guessing because his 2022-23 domestic season finished a few weeks before the others. So he presumably had something of a mini-break before the international matches.
practicing penalties for life without JWP....wait I don't think I noticed JWP at all....Djenepo still can't get pass with stepovers
12th July friendly against Benfica at St George’s Park and then presumably off to Turkey and I guess we will get a bit more of an idea of who is staying/going as they can’t all fit on one plane
I wonder how much the players that are highly likely to leave are likely to feature in these initial preseason games which are mainly about fitness anyway.
Really impressed with the way he talks. I know the proof will be in the pudding, but he gives me so much more confidence over NJ, who was just a chancer and RS who was too eager to please.
