The England manager and two of his assistants were at Molineux last evening and must have been impressed with Conor Cody.. There were not that many English players on show and Sturridge did not exactly set the world on fire.
The Daily Mail is now running the story that GS was at Molineux to watch Connor Coady.
Conor Coady still not named in the Southgate England squad.. What has he got to do to get a cap?
Everybody but Declan Rice have capped for England before, so I'm sure he feels comfortable with those particular players. And all those players have been playing in the Premier League for more than 7 months. I don't think we should be shocked that Coady hasn't been picked in a Euro Qualifier squad. I think we can be annoyed and question why he wasn't picked in the Nations League and friendlies over the past 6 months. Rice and Mount are young players, and those kind of players get callups from smaller clubs a decent amount (though Mount is a Chelsea player, just on loan to Derby). Coady is 26. I think he's playing better than Tarkowski and Maguire at this moment, but those players have capped previously.
I'm not surprised that Coady hasn't been selected. His role at Wolves in our set up compliments the way Wolves play. But the way England set up means there's no way he could fit into the line up.
Being selfish, i'm glad he hasn't been picked as Wolves get to see the best of him.
