They're not going to start off with Troy Parrott or Finnazaz.

But you have a direct chance to learn and be an understudy to the guy you're going to be replacing off the bench.

A guy who kind of made his first initial impacts for Ireland by being an explosive player that when we didn't have one at the time.

And you're right, it's something that we so lack off the bench to change games.

And when it has happened under Hal Grimson, like I think of Finland away when Fessy Abisela came off the bench and had a brilliant impact because he was explosive and wrecked and getting the ball in the box.

And we probably haven't seen that enough off the bench

And all those lads, Jade Numa, Jack Moylan, Edo Maku, Mili Ali, they're all players who are capable of doing this.

You're not really going to be given a better chance to stake a claim to be an Ireland squad in the future.

I think, sorry, I just thought there when you mentioned League One and Championship, like someone who we've been raving about is Jack Moylan, who is playing League One football.

Like, Jack Wine has never played championship football.

No, I'm just saying for the likes of Edo Maku, like, players we haven't seen that much of, like, this is a chance, like, he's going into next season now with a clean slate and a team, like you said, are going to be pushing for, to get back into the championship.

It's something that, yeah, we, like, I know you've no problem with Ligo and Matty watching Wigan every week down there, but I think sometimes the wider public maybe, I think sometimes maybe the wider public's perception

of League One is to kind of diminish it a lot more.

We know the standard is similar to the League of Ireland and the physicality is probably higher.

So Aidan Amaku is a huge chance to get a running form on the belt.

Look what it's done for the likes of Jack Moylan.

He's heading into the Championship in serious form.

There's no reason why we can't be having these conversations about Amaku in 12 months' time.

Yeah, it's like he's someone who...

I maybe made a little bit of a bold call and jumped the gun by saying he probably should have been in the squad, that he could have been in the squad in March to face Cechia.
