Conor Coventry

[Dick Plumb1]

Conor Coventry has been called up to the Republic of Ireland squad for their upcoming UEFA Nations League clash with England at Wembley on Sunday (KO 5pm GMT).

The 24-year-old is yet to be capped at senior level, but has been called up to the men's squad previously.

Coventry is Ireland's most-capped player at U21s level with 28 appearances and captained the team on a number of occasions, scoring three goals. He was also named FAI U21 International Player of the Year in 2021.

The midfielder, who has also represented his country at U17 and U19 level, was called up on Friday following Ireland’s 1-0 win at home to Finland.

Ireland must be hard up. Coventry has been another disappointing signing for us.

Ireland’s arse must be hanging out if CC can get a game for them. He’s ****e.

I was expecting a lot more from him. Perhaps he’s one of those players that adjust better at a slightly higher level. I’m saying that with an embarrassed look on my face.

He can only pass the ball sideways or backwards. He has got no pace. He’s hopeless on corners & dead balls.

Apart from that, he’s the complete midfielder.

Seeing as you’ve put it like that l guess he’s a suitable member of our horse and pony show.

A third division footballer playing international football, he must be better than we think.

He gets stick for passing sideways and backwards, but if there is no movement in front of him he's often got no choice.
