Matt BadcockHOST
There was two Tommy Smiths playing the other night, though.
Matt BadcockHOST
That was, uh, Tommy Smith for, uh, Bury-
Mark CarruthersCORRESPONDENT
There was.
Mark CarruthersCORRESPONDENT
There was eight too
Matt BadcockHOST
... and Tommy Smith for Needham Market, so.
Matt BadcockHOST
There were only-
Mark CarruthersCORRESPONDENT
Yeah
Matt BadcockHOST
... two Tommy Smiths in non-league football.
Mikey Pentti-SmithHOST
Uh, right, Daizen, Daizen Maeda is coming back with some, some hardware from the international break.
Mikey Pentti-SmithHOST
He is a Kirin Cup winner after they defeated Henry Grey's New Zealand, coached, or one of the coaches is now Tommy Smith.
Mikey Pentti-SmithHOST
No goal in this international break for him, but quite a few minutes.
Mikey Pentti-SmithHOST
Um, he did get an assist in that final against New Zealand, but I think he was also at fault for, well, poten- a little bit at fault for one of the New Zealand goals.
KevinHOST
The first one is Nando Pinneker.
KevinHOST
And the second one, Tommy Smith, both of those selected.
KevinHOST
So we'll introduce all five of those candidates.
KevinHOST
Otherwise, we just have one candidate at the possible but unlikely level.
8 MINS LATER
KevinHOST
Mind you, Yes, we were concerned about his fitness there but the fact that he was selected suggests that he was fit and actually he did sub into both of the June games, the pre-tournament friendlies there.
KevinHOST
So Nando Pinnaker probably more of a substitute than a starter there.
KevinHOST
Finally, we have Tommy Smith as our last central defender making the squad.
KevinHOST
He's been with New Zealand since 2010, 56 caps and two goals for him.
Riccardo BallHOST
You talk about some of the players, you talk about Dane Ingham coming back and you're like, wow, there's a name that you'd sort of forgotten about a little bit.
Riccardo BallHOST
There's a team with no Crocombe, no Joe Bell, no Ryan Thomas, no Tim Payne, no Michael Boxall, no Sarpreet Singh, no Matt Garbutt, no Chris Wood, no Costa, no Tommy Smith and no Finn Sermon.
Riccardo BallHOST
I mean, there's about two thirds of a squad there that you would probably expect to be there or thereabouts.
Riccardo BallHOST
And, I mean, all due respect to those guys, it didn't feel like you missed too many of them in this game.
Dan BottenHOST
It was kind of a team, it always felt a team in Mick McCarthy's image.
Dan BottenHOST
We had Luke Chambers, Tommy Smith, Christoph Berra, Cole Schoos, some real leaders there.
Dan BottenHOST
Yeah, exactly.
Dan BottenHOST
And that's what I think Mick wanted.
Ivan VicelichGUEST
So yeah, that's an interesting thing to see what will develop in the future.
Riccardo BallHOST
Now, uh, a player that ha- he hasn't announced his retirement yet, but you kinda think he has by proxy in a way with this squad is Tommy Smith, right? He's a guy that at the 2010 World Cup was a teammate of yours.
Riccardo BallHOST
He was a youngster at Ipswich Town then.
Riccardo BallHOST
Uh, now he's part of this All White squad, but as the set piece coach, um, that journey for Tommy's gotta be interesting.
5 MINS LATER
Riccardo BallHOST
And I mean, you know, there's ...
Riccardo BallHOST
We talked about, uh, talked about Michael Boxall not gonna be at the next World Cup.
Riccardo BallHOST
Well, I think it's fair to say Tommy Smith won't be either, right? And he's ...
Riccardo BallHOST
But they've kept him in there.
Dan ClarkHOST
He says Hansel has bottle, which I think we agree does and change the tactic around made a difference.
Dan ClarkHOST
One for us to potentially discuss, Ian Brown, make Tommy permanent.
Dan ClarkHOST
That's an interesting one after a couple of games.
Dan ClarkHOST
So I am going to bring it on to you guys.
11 MINS LATER
Dan ClarkHOST
So, you know, for me, I think it's, With the increasing, you've got to look at it over the last few seasons.
Dan ClarkHOST
And if you see the amount of postponements that have happened and then the backlog of fixtures that happened afterwards, we're going to have to accept that either the season extends by a couple of weeks into May, which for me would make as much sense as, you know, with the playoffs anyway, they can still be condensed.
Dan ClarkHOST
but also have a couple more Tuesday games here and there just in lieu of having an international break you don't I mean apart from I think it was Tommy Smith at Braintree playing for New Zealand during the World Cup I don't think you see too many non-league players unless they're playing for the Caribbean nations and what have you so I don't think you know it's at that point and I think if it became that point you know where a lot of conference teams were postponing games because they had international call-ups and that's a call for the National League to make But for me at this point in time, I think it's a case where the EFL have to look at it and go, actually, the amount of rearrangements we're having to do, this is time now to implement an international break period.
Dan ClarkHOST
It's going to be there.
Russell OsmanPANELIST
Yeah, I'm sending you back a little bit.
Russell OsmanPANELIST
He had a choice of centre-halves from Gareth McCauley to Damien Delaney, Tommy Smith, Darren O'Day.
Russell OsmanPANELIST
I thought he was a...
Terry ButcherPANELIST
Darren O'Day?
AmoHOST
It's Ipswich Town, Brentford, Colchester.
AmoHOST
Is it Smith? It is Smith.
AmoHOST
It's Tommy Smith.
AmoHOST
Tommy Smith.
AmoHOST
That is a point for you, Joe.
AmoHOST
Well
JoeHOST
played.
JoeHOST
Tommy Smith, yeah.
Ivan VicelichGUEST
He needs to, he needs to bring that to the table on the games a- and, and, and perform well, so Yeah, that's an interesting thing to see what will develop in the future.
Riccardo BallHOST
Now, uh, a player that ha- he hasn't announced his retirement yet, but you kind of think he has by proxy in a way with this squad, is Tommy Smith, right? He's a guy that at the 2010 World Cup was a teammate of yours.
Riccardo BallHOST
He was a youngster at-
