Town Pair in Action
Tuesday, 18th May 2010 09:00

Midfielder Liam Trotter and striker Connor Wickham are in action tonight with loan club Millwall and the England U17s respectively.

Trotter’s Lions face Huddersfield in the second leg of their League One play-off semi-final at the Den, the first game having ended 0-0 (Sky Sports One, 7.30pm). The winners will meet Swindon in the final, the Robins having beaten Charlton 5-4 on penalties last night after a 3-3 draw.

Former Blue Scott Barron is also likely to feature for Millwall, while ex-Town men Jordan Rhodes and Gary Roberts are regulars in the Huddersfield side.

Wickham and England begin their European U17 Championships campaign in Liechtenstein with a game against the Czech Republic (Eurosport2 UK, 7.30pm). The youngsters subsequently take on Greece on Friday and end their group games when they face Turkey on Monday.

Elsewhere, West Ham are reported to have ended any interest they had in Wickham, who is understood to be the subject of a £5 million offer from Spurs, a deal the Hammers are claimed to have been unable to match.

West Ham, Fulham and Spurs are the clubs who have been keeping closest tabs on the 17-year-old striker this season.

Why is it that Lennon "setting alight the 3rd tier of English football" (see EADT) is now what we need when last year a certain Jordan Rhodes won Best Young Footballer and he was shipped to Huddersfield before being given a chance?

What a load of *! Does Keane have any idea?

We need to build a team. Haven't we learned from this year loanees do not work. We had Collback all year, now he has gone and we're stuck with a hole in midfield. Guess what let's loan in a new untested guy and then next year do the same again?

Crazy!!

Barhamblue added 21:57 - May 18 Tell you what everybody. Keano got it right with that Rodes boy. £250000 ! Mot worth half that. Just wached the Millwall game, he looked lost, ineffective and with out a doubt playing at the right level! Was trotter playing? Another spot on decision from keano. Keano keano keano!
