Big well done to Ciaran Brennan and Conor Grant


Recommended Posts

This is how FAI introduced Wednesday boys to Irish fans:

 

15: Conor Grant
Date of Birth: 23/07/2001
Position: Midfielder
Club: Sheffield Wednesday
Schoolboy Clubs: St Ita's, Malahide United
As if by magic, Conor has this incredible knack of breaking free from tight situations with the ball still at his feet. The close control and technical ability allow him to make a big difference in midfield, where he almost ghosts across the grass with his style of running. An excellent connector of play.

 

20: Ciaran Brennan
Date of Birth: 05/05/2000
Position: Defender
Club: Sheffield Wednesday
Schoolboy Clubs: Thorncliffe Juniors
A tall defender who can operate at full-back or centre-back, Ciaran is quick to close space and to react to any potential danger. The Sheffield lad qualifies through his Limerick-born grandparents and has impressed in training with the U19s.

 

Btw. Reminder that first games is against Norway, and it will be played tomorrow, 15.7. at 15:45.

 

No guarantees that either of our boys will start, though.

Yeah playing poor, thought we play better than that, commentator said that brennan is out with illness which is a shame because was hoping to see him or grant play 

 

Don't think he would have started anyway. Shame we didn't get to see Grant, thought.

 

Irish manager set his team to fail playing his best defender in midfield that was already lacking and creativity, and pairing two huge, awkward, clumsy and terrified of pace CB's together.

 

Regba and Afolabi would have beaten Norway on their own if only give their teammates feed them with 50/50 balls to fight for, instead of passing it very poorly between their defenders.

 

Great goal by Hodge though.
