He can be the next Rickie Lambert, never played above league 1 level until he was about 28/29

He is young.
He is doing well for us.
He is scoring goals.
Lets keep it that way.
Talk of England is silly. Way too early.
Leauge 1 is massive gap from prem/international quality.

Probably do better than Lambert! (Tongue in cheek!)
Lambert is an average (at best) prem striker and shouldn't be anywhere near the England team! Isn't even like he has age on his side.
I'm a fan of Hodgson, but I don't know why he's picking players who are old and past it, Osman, Lambert, Carrick (good player but why include him in team?) and others... It's a transitional period an young players should be getting picked. We're average with Hodgson, and I think he's the best English option. Rant over.
As for Wilson, lol. Doing well, at L1, and we're only 6 games into the season.

Attacking movement tonight epitomised (alongside many more examples!) the lack of technical ability of pir players and once more highlights the need for a revolution in the culture of English football (it can be done, Spain were once dark horses, and now are the best!) More English players and managers, coaches etc. need to be produced. You think the likes of Germany and Spain would settle for a 0-0 draw!? We're a laughing stock to them.
Team selection has been the most uninspiring for as long as I can remember.

agree with this, every time I see Milner on the teamsheet, I breathe a massive sigh, nothing against the guy, he's just crap

EFF sake, 8 goals in league 1 and people are wondering whether he will play for England...... Saying that, if Moyes struggles at Man U and Pressley continues to impress they might come a knocking....... (Tongue firmly in cheek)

Of course he *might*, but so then might Jordan Clarke, or anyone else. Do I think he 'will'? No - the chances are very small indeed. Very few players who score a lot of goals over the first few games of a season at tier 3 level ever represent their countries. Look at Ian Wallace - scored hatfuls over two seasons and yet never represented England.

we would easily take him no problem i think he would do well
I agree with you Rob.
A difficult fixture in front of a 70,000 partisan crowd, and with so many vital players missing, no wellbeck, no Rooney, no Sturride, overall I thought we deserved at least a draw, and could have won it at the death, when Lampard put a header narrowly wide, we controlled the first half, and as expected they came back at us in the second half, but we held out, with Cahill looking strong.
If it was Hodgesons plan to play for a draw and not get beaten, then it worked well, and I'm not in the least concerned this morning, as I reflect on what I witnessed last night.

It is too early to say.
If he stays with us then the answer is no. We don't have many players that played for England over the years do we? But we do have a few that were good enough after leaving us or that were past it when joining us. Also he has come on very well this season. If he keeps improving at this rate there is always a chance in the future. But he can only score against the opposition he plays against.
It is a big jump from Division 3 to the Championship. Then another big jump to the Prem. If he could manage both of these he would then need to be the best English striker. Will he be better than Rooney?

If Callum maintains his form then I see no reason why he can't push for a place at England U21 level anything above that is a bit extreme and Callum would have to be on fire to consider a call to Southgate's youth squad considering the talent he has assembled.
It's good that Callum and all our other young players have started well, but Pressley you get the feeling will be keeping them grounded at this moment in time.

Maybe he is another one who doesn't like the truth to get in the way of a good story

We missed essentially one position, don't think that lets off what a poor performance it was, Lambert had no service, say arguably, the applies if <insert unavailable striker> played.
I'm going to put into perspective guys: we've only beaten 2 teams this qualification, San Marino and Moldova, that's it.
From a tactical perspective; why are we only trying to avoid defeat? Unambitious game plan vs 3rd or 4th seed team in group away? That's pathetic. Like I said, any team worth it's salt would be laughing at our performance. I wouldn't have minded had we 'gone for it' but their keeper or whatever put in a stormer, he wasn't tested!

I agree with you but its a measure of how shit we have become that we felt we needed to go to Ukraine and play like that
We're getting to the stage now where qualifying for the tournament is an achievement in itself, it's going to take a decade or two to fix English football and that's if we start right now
From the current crop of players we've got to select from I'd be pleased just to get to the last 16 in Brazil assuming we make it

perhaps the fact he is scotish might have had something to do with it.
