No Delap :( on 10:02 - Mar 14 with 1528 views | FrimleyBlue | It's not a shock, he will be in there at some point, but since the chelsea game, there's more chance of him still being with town regardless of league next season than anything else. Lots of promise, but still incredibly raw, England u21s is the right level. |  |

No Delap :( on 10:10 - Mar 14 with 1488 views | LankHenners | Always an outside shot to be honest (although with Watkins injured thought he'd have more of a chance) but apart from that, it's a very, er, interesting selection. |  |

Yeah, fully agree - what an absolute horror show. Hardly any new ideas, and lots of old, bad ones. Henderson ffs, absolutely berserk selection. Still, having Kyle Walker in the squad is a nice 40th birthday present for him. |  | |  |

I'd say not picking Wharton and Gibbs-White is completely unacceptable. The FA shouldn't let him. |  | |  |
No Delap :( on 10:30 - Mar 14 with 1385 views | Pinewoodblue | would love to see who Kieran McKenna would favour if asked to pick an England XI. Doubt he would include Delap. |  |

Whilst I disagree with his selection, I am not sure I would advocate giving Adam Crozier, David Davies, Bert Millichip and Graham Kelly the right of veto. |  | |  | Login to get fewer ads

apparently the palace manager and tuchel have been in close tough, 'managing workload' one of those excuses |  | |  |

Hasn't Wharton only just come back from injury? |  |

….already. Henderson ahead of Wharton is the most baffling of a number of baffling decisions. Gonna be a painful wait until his contract is up and Howe gets the job. |  |

No Delap :( on 09:48 - Mar 14 by pointofblue | A lot of Town fans have been calling for Delap to be dropped for Hirst. Yet he's supposed to be good enough for the England squad? Some of the other decisions are puzzling though. Walker, Henderson, four keepers, no Gibbs-White... |
Probably not the same people... |  |

Yeah, I read somewhere Palace were keen for him to stay home. Which is fair enough. Picking Henderson isn’t though. Unless he just needs someone who can shout at everyone for him. |  |

Clearly this is boIIocks as Wharton has been called up by the U21s. |  |

No Delap :( on 18:13 - Mar 14 with 804 views | TheBoyBlue | Hopefully it'll spur him on to round off some of the rough edges. He's been fantastic this season, but we all know there are elements of his game that needs improving, like the silly yellow cards and the need to do everything himself when there are better options on. If this helps him realise that he needs to improve on those elements now, perhaps it'll be a good thing for us this season. Or maybe I'm clutching at straws! |  |

No Delap :( on 07:24 - Mar 15 with 709 views | ringwoodblue | I totally get that it would be great for a Town player to be in the England squad but even if in the squad Delap wouldn’t play any part in the games and it would take his focus away from his task of helping us stay in the PL. Whether we stay up or not, he won’t be a Town player next season so frankly who cares. Tuchel seems to favour the old guard or players from the bigger clubs so our players won’t get a look in now or in the future. |  |

Looks to me as if the FA are keen to retain the U21 UEFA title this summer. Delap & Wharton's chances will come for a full England Cap. |  |

Wharton had a full England cap already. |  |

No Delap :( on 13:45 - Mar 15 with 541 views | franz_tyson | Tuchel has a 18 month contract. He's here to win the WC. He's not looking any further than that. If he can squeeze enough out of older, experienced legs he doesn't have to spend any extra effort on younger players. Why should he develop younger players? Besides, now that Rashford has an arm around him and been given a bit of love, he's started to track back. It's not all about 400k a week |  | |  |
