Well done to James on his call up. I make it five current CCFC players from the academy\graduated through the academy who represent their country at youth level - James Maddison (England U20s), Cian Harries & George Thomas (Wales U19s) and Darragh Leahy & Kyle Finn (Republic of Ireland U17s\18s).

It may just sharpen James Maddison up for our last few games hopefully

Not really. The goalkeeper plays for Southend and the majority of the others are out on loan at League 1/2 clubs.

Maddison qualifies for the Republic of Ireland too so looks like England are making the first move to get him to commit to them.

Only because Maddison has signed for a premiership albeit about to be relegated has he got a call up.

He won't be missed. Either will Armstrong on current form. Stephens maybe.

You do have to laugh. Since he signed for Norwich his form has gone downhill so he now gets picked for England!

Hope that means we get a bit more money out of them.

Is Armstrong still a youth loan? If not wouldn't it not make sense to request a postponement?

Why is there an under 20's game is there any age group that doesn't have a team now a total waste of time effort and money, the players in this would be far better off playing league football than pissing around playing the world powers that are Canada may as well be playing England ladies.

Not sure what I'm more surprised about;

1. After the start he had to the season, I'm saying he (Maddison) won't be missed
2. He's been called up after such poor form!

If he hadn't signed for Norwich, would he be getting called up? I'm not sure, especially since he's been in much better form and not been called up

is the much vaunted 'add on' scenario relative to the number of prem games JM plays ? in which case, are we gonna have the McSheffrey scam, whereby a player is not selected because his appearance means a payment clause

What about bringing JOB back for the last ten games still think we miss his energy I no him and MOGGA don't get on but he is our player missing 3 starters is going to be tinkering again with th the team.

I hardly think a manager is going to bring back a player he 'doesn't get on with' is he?

Think we need to move on and just accept JOB has gone and doesn't play for us anymore.

I said we'd lose Arma and Stephens (and Cargill if he had been fit) for the 2 Easter games on last day of the Transfer Window and noone was overly fussed at that time. Admittedly, the Madders call-up is a bit of a surprise otherwise we could have been 4 players down.

And does anyone else find it slightly amusing that Madders wasn't worth a callup before he signed for Norwich. And now he's a "Premiership" player though still playing here, the Powers That Be deem him suitable to call up ?

He was going to be called up before his injury. The last squad included:

Ted Smith (Southend)
Aaron Kuhl (Reading)
Jermaine Anderson (Peterborough)
Reece Brown (Birmingham)
Demarai Gray (Birmingham *before his move*)
Che Adams (Sheffield United)

So, I don't think there's any real Premier League bias, probably checking out what a young promising player can do in a friendly game.

Yes it's ridiculous and it happens all the time. I do hope nobody is going to suggest it's a coincidence?

Before he has even kicked a ball for them he is suddenly worthy of a call up, it's nothing short of unprofessional.

Arma played the full 90 mins for England U-19s in their 2-1 win in Georgia but he wasn't on the scoresheet. Jack Stephens was an unused sub in the U-21s draw vs Switzerland.
