Neuilly Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 (edited) Anyone know why Max is not in the squad? Thought he had become a regular of recent. 3 GK’s selected not playing regular football for their respective clubs… *edit Bazunu is, correction Edited November 9, 2023 by Neuilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelRobartes Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 It's because Kelleher is back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

devoncider Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 all three also born in Ireland, so that *may* give them the edge... just a hunch 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahamC Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 He’s their 4th choice, that’s why. Good luck to him but sadly I think his chances of ever earning an Irish international cap is slim. Suppose the other way to look at it was if he had declared for his country of birth it would be less than one in a million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the case of MOL vs a Travers/Bazunu or Kelleher, the fact he's a bit older and probably not as good is the driving factor I suspect. That being said if you had identical players and the only distinguishing factor was one born in Cork vs one born in Bath, as an Irish fan I would hope the Cork lad gets the nod Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not where he was born. That I now understand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Port Said Red Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 Glad to see Sykes back in the squad, seemed a strange omission before. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The chief Posted November 9, 2023 Report Share Posted November 9, 2023 It’s good he’s not been called up. Can get on with training with the new coaches and be focussing on our defensive shape and play. Needs some work in his decision making and distribution - the one or two really dodgy passes out per game will cost us sooner rather than later!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
