John Egan

And these are players that I've seen finishing somewhere between 12th and 18th in the championship.

We are talking John Egan, Semi Ajayi, Louis Coyle, Ryan Giles, Regan Slater.

I

love the contempt with which you say these professional footballers.

Defensively, they're going to be hard to break down.

So when I was speaking to a Hull City fan earlier and he was just sort of saying that, Yeah, it's just been surprising to see even them, especially, as AJ said, for them to still play a lot of their team who got them promoted in the first place.

Players like John Egan and like Louis Coyle, who, of course, is like a whole city lad, which I'm sure is what a dream come true for him.

Boyhood player and coming through the ranks and now playing in the Premier League.

But we see you in the live chat evening to Philip, who's with us.

John asking the question that a lot of people will be chatting about, Seb, is it must win? Both Hull and us town fans know that three points give us that.

Breathing Space, you mentioned that.

Evening to Rob, evening to Streaky.

good

evening to you let us know if we go wrong if we uh if we're misquoting or we're getting anything wrong on your team um but yeah i'm sure whole fans would love it you know hello to lynn uh collins here please do not lose town he says are we fine um yeah and other neil is here are you going yes sorry me and my son are there on saturday Never mind.

But yeah, here's John.

Bring on the Mark Noble, Cameron Stewart Derby.

JL Pedro obviously with zero.

Vardy with one and John Egan with four.

And I did think about Egan and Calafiore, but going into the weekend, that was never going to be...

Yeah, I was never picking Egan over him, but slightly annoying still when you've worked out what's happened and then you're like, I could have been over the safety score and really green-arrowed.

But we weren't absolutely kind of like showering him with love.

He wasn't winning promotions and having that feeling of being a Sheffield United legend or anything like that, like a Chris Basham or a John Egan or a Billy Sharp or a Didzey.

He didn't have any of that.

So two years at Sheffield United, I can see why...

Seamus

Coleman and all that sort of stuff too there's a reason why Jimmy Dunne is always in the squads there is a reason and he's a good footballer he's a decent footballer good defender very good championship defender that's what he is and could he make a step up maybe he's no nonsense he's a bit of John Egan do you know what I mean do you know what I mean when John Egan goes up to the Premier League and he doesn't look out of place because he's a proper defender and that's what Jimmy Dunne is and that's why the QPR fans love him so much and he does a lot of work actually as well around the community in London and all that sort of stuff as well so he's a lot of attachment there but there's a reason that he's in the squads and it's because he's a good personality and he's a good body to have around the place and when he's not playing that many minutes he's still someone who's in there and I say not that many minutes he's always playing minutes for QPR but he's been versatile enough for them as well a little bit at right back he's a lot better at centre half I think we've seen that with Ireland as well we came on right wing back I think in the game over in Czechia which It's a little bit bizarre and I think maybe if it hadn't been a penalty shootout, the loss of that game, that might have been a decision made by him or Algrimson that would have got a lot more question than maybe it did.

But it's great to see him doing well.

And as you say, he's a no-nonsense defender and he's also very good in the air.

also Slater Slater had some balance problems

it wouldn't have been overturned if he'd have given that but the interesting one was Tiago absolutely thundered into I think it was John Egan and I winced and I waited for the yellow card and I think it could and should have been a yellow card and certainly it was certainly a Tiago yellow but nothing happened.

He gave them the free kick and no yellow card for Tiago.

And I, and I thought, you know, had it been Pawson or Brooks or, Um, we'd have had a sending off Tiago would have been booked and they'd have had at least two penalties.
