McBurnie excellent, didn't see anything special about Roberts. Only played a handful of games so he didn't have time to make a lasting impression. He must have something about him though as Middlesbrough took a chance on him in the summer and he was named Yeovil player of the year before he joined us. It sounds like he made a similar impression at Boro as he did with us: "On 14 July 2017, it was announced that Roberts would be joining Championship club Middlesbrough on a season-long loan deal. After making one league appearance his loan spell was terminated and he returned to Swansea City." |

Sadly this is just another reason why players leave clubs like BRFC.
Bodin sets Lge 1 alight = no call up
Bodin moves to Champ and after 10 games gets a call-up.
Meh.
Fail play to Giggs for giving him the nod though - he could still have overlooked him as much as Coleman did.

Bodins hardly set the Championship alight but suddenly gets a call up. If Harrison was with a Championship club or one of the L1 'big boys' then im sure his chances would multiply. I would of thought it fairly obvious that the higher level of competition you play, the more chance you have of getting selected. Bodin has been performing more consistently over a longer period of time to Harrison, so even if Harrison ended up with a Championship club in the summer I suspect he would have to prove himself at that level before becoming a permanent fixture of the Welsh squad. It'll be the same for Sweeney and pretty much any young player wishing to make the grade in international football, fair enough to Bodin for furthering his prospects quite considerably. Really? BB is almost 2 years older but only has 42 more appearances than Ellis. Both have 52 career goals. Ellis has more Lge 1 appearances than BB. I'd suggest that is pretty equal. |

Played in their televised FA cup games was very impressive. Excellent motor in him, played as an attacking back very high up the pitch, but was able to get back to defend very quickly. Another like McBurnie not given enough time on the pitch. |

Was there a clause in the bodin deal that gives us extra for a international call up ?

Conner Roberts has played two league games this season, so he has hardly been picked as he's been performing consistently at an higher level! Locks is the only Div 1 or lower player picked by Giggs, which just shows how hard it is to get a call up if you play outside the top two divisions. Although on a positive note at least Ellis won't miss the Peterborough game. I can understand why Roberts was picked because he's got into the match day squad of a premier league squad on occasion so it is natural Giggs would want to have a look at him. Locks being the only L1 or lower player picked by giggs is credit to the hard work that Locks has been putting into to improve himself and get recognised in the national team setup. If Ellis was called up to the national team, we could of got the Peterborough game postponed as I presume Sweeney will get selected for the Irish U21's, who have got a couple of fixtures coming up. Don't think loan players count |
