raoul duke said:I think Hughes is giving Ireland a break as his early season form wasn't great by his own high standards and then he got that thing against Fulham with his head. It happens with all young players doesn't it? lack of form, rest then ease them back in. I'm just glad we've got players who can come in when things like this happen. I'm convinced Ireland will come good. It's just a matter of being patient. We can afford to now!
The 'problem' with Ireland's play has been in games where he has come on as a substitute. In the games he has started he has created goals and given our game a more attacking flair. When he has come on as a sub, he can't make an impact for whatever reason and its viewed as a loss of form...but he's been in good form when starting and as above, we have been winning.
