Another week with zero minutes played. What a waste of time the WBA move is looking, he needs to play.
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
[Football] Jayson Molumby
- Thread starter BHAFC_123
- Start date
A pattern that is unfortunately at some point stopping to be a coincidence.

He was always going to have to bide his time to get the chance to get into that midfield. It was a poor choice imo as they really only needed cover.

Molumby will play at WBA - you really can't expect him to jump straight into the first team in a very good squad. Also - remember that he played in both Irish games last week - so he has had some playing time.
If you’re loaned from a Premier League club to a Championship club to get games, you’ve got to be very disappointed not to play a single minute of football for them one month into the loan.
A young player who bossed the midfield for a whole season in The Championship (just missing the play-offs) deserves a little more respect than that - he wasn't played at Preston by a manager who didn't want him. Looks like Ismail at WBA has the same reluctance. Many of us thought it was a good move for him, but some warned it would not be successful, as he wouldn't be picked ahead of their existing CMs.
Looks like they got it right, and us optimists got it wrong.
The more people play for Ireland the worse they seem to get...

That is a lot of bullsh*t - Idah has been a revelation in the past 3/4 Irish games - Bazunu has shown all the potential he undoubtedly has - Omobamidele is going to be a star - Egan showed that he is a PL quality defender (and showed it again yesterday) - Cullen is quietly improving. Molumby id clearly lacking in confidence and during the Irish games was actually trying to hard to make an impression and he ended up running around like a headless chicken - If he gets into the right situation (and hopefully WBA is the right situation for him) then I could see him bouncing back.
Like with Molumby - the issues with Connolly are far more to do with their club situation / other issues than with the Irish team.

Egan is terrible. Seriously ? Worst Irish generation of players in 40 years.

Clearly you have a lot of insights into how good the Irish players are
Irish teams tend to come through in waves - the team of the late 1940s - the team of the early 1960s - the Giles team of the mid-1970s - the Charlton team of the late 1980s and early 1990s - the team at the time of the 2002 World Cup (the one that McCarthy f*cked up). Since then they Irish team has been bang average to poor (although if Brian Kerr had been given a proper run at the job, including the FAI accepting his plans to develop the underage set-up, things could have been different). The Irish team is currently going through a generational shift - and there is a fantastic crop of young players coming through - the like of Bazunu, Kelleher, Omobamidele, Knight, Idah, Parrott, Smallbone, Ferry, O'Shea, Collins, John Patrick, Johansen, Garcia, the kid at Inter, Zefi (who scored 2 goals and had 3 assists on his debut for Inter's academy team this week) - and not forgetting the likes of Moran, Furlong, Kavanagh and Ferguson - and this is far from an exhaustive list. The future of Irish has never been brighter than it is at the moment and if even only a handful of these players develop (and the prospects are good for a lot more than that) then the Irish team will improve significantly in the next 2/3 years.
As for Egan - at the time Hughton was signing Duffy I was advocating for Egan. He is as good a defender - in fact he is better because he see danger more quickly - and he can do two things that Duffy can't - he can pay a high line and he can pass the ball. Egan is a much better player than Duffy and he has shown that in all recent Ireland games. Indeed, when Jokanovic took over as manager of Sheff Utd and was told that Ramsdale and Berge could be sold, while he accepted that both of those could leave, Egan was a player that Jokanovic apparently insisted could not be sold.

I don’t think you could argue against the first one. The second one was soft but he gave the ref a decision to make, which when on a yellow, he maybe shouldn’t have gone in so hard.

Not sure who you are confusing him with but he joined our academy from a team in Ireland.

I doubt it.
No he didn't.
