Hope Ryan is watching.

Probably doesn't even know he exists. Same with Lee Evans. Until Wigan & Millwall draw United in cup competitions, of course.

Second goal tonight

Might not be that popular at the CCS ;-)

[robin1864]

Wouldn't matter if he scored 30 this season. Apostle has spoken, he's not good enough.

[rico]

Goal machine! Has to be picked ahead of Tyler Roberts next squad surely.

[cadno]

"Tom Bradshaw has the third best minutes-to-goal ratio in the entire Championship this season - 120."

Call him up!

[robin1864]

Eye for goal. The absence of his doubters tonight has not gone unnoticed.

[richierich333]

Deserves to be in the squad for Azerbaijan, at the expense of Tyler Roberts or Vokes. We do not have any other finishers.

[welshiron]

He is just back from a long injury so it is great to see him banging in the goals.

If he continues he will have earnt a call up. Not sure who you would drop but on current form I would have him ahead of Tyler Roberts.

Personally dont think he will get many caps but if he does it's because he has done well and that will be good for us.

Hope some of you haven't got too over excited last night it was 2 goals against Cardiff.

On another note not a welsh player in their match day squad

Never been given a chance

[johnoster]

Definitely deserves a chance. Have we got any friendlies lined up?

3 caps and numerous call ups.

Maybe he hasnt done enough when called up.

Also first time he has been fit and in form since Giggs took over

[joio]

Seven goals in 9 games for a team 16th in the league is a good return especially as the goals have come against good opposition such as Leeds, Brentford and Cardiff. He's clearly a natural finisher but not sure where he fits in. He's probably a better option than Tyler Roberts as things stand. Great comments about him on social media as well. Reading through some of their forums it seems that Neil Harris just didn't give him a proper run last season.

"My ST money was worth it just to watch Tom Bradshaw play. Best forward & goalscorer we’ve had for many years. His work rate is top draw."

"Tom Bradshaw won everything tonight. Great performance well happy for him. I’d rather Morison than smith at the minute though."

"Tom Bradshaw is the nuts, how was smith ever starting over him"

"If Tom Bradshaw isn't named as the Championship player of the month for October, it'll actually be farcical."

[fiveattheback]

He deserves a call up

He's not going to be facing defences as bad as Cardiff's at international level though

[johnoster]

Are Cardiff better than Azerbaijan?

[welshiron]

No

[Deleted]

But Azerbaijan have more Welsh players

[welshiron]

At least the same😎

[johnoster]

Could Warnock do a better job as Wales manager than Giggs?

[cadno]

I remember he looked lively when he came on against Ukraine, injuries have played a part in him not getting much of a look in so far.

[iot]

He's scored 7 in 14 this season. Vokes had a couple of seasons in the championship where he was more prolific, but hasn't repeated that since. I also don't think Vokes wins half as much in the air and holds up play half as well as moore. On that basis, I would include bradshaw over vokes in the next squad. It depends, however, on how giggs wants to play - if he's decided we should start with a CF from now on irrespective of Moore's form and fitness, then he may well decide to pick vokes ahead of bradshaw to have that second option. Tyler Roberts can play across the front 3 and as a no. 10, so I don't expect him to be dropped.

[1gwaunview]

Certainly deserves a call up consideration for the next games.

Personally not convinced by Roberts in his Wales appearances to date.

[johnoster]

Roberts is only 20 though to be fair to him.

Didn't realise he had scored that many! He definitely merits a place in the squad, I would expect Giggs to call him up as an extra player though, rather than dropping someone out for him. 

I can definitely see him having a role to play in the squad, as he'd be valuable in a game where we need a goal, and we are regularly putting pressure on teams in and around their box. The old big man-small man routine with Moore may be a work of genius against the likes of Azerbaijan etc.

At this rate, no.

[holmesdaleultra]

At least Bradshaw is playing regularly and scoring.
Roberts is young and at the moment a poor imitation of Hal.

[robin1864]

Roberts should still be in the U21's IMO as he's not ready to make the leap up yet, but if he's playing alongside Johnson, Levitt, Vale etc. then we could have a talented generation stepping up who are all familiar with each other.

We need that level of familiarity back tbh.

[nwcherries]

Think some of you are being a bit picky about this guy. It's not like you have loads of top quality strikers banging the door down for a place is it? I don't have any context on this guy really, but with that record this season it would be a complete joke if he didn't get called up IMO. Especially if it's to accommodate players like Roberts and Vokes; the former barely even qualifying as an out-and-out striker, and the latter being complete past it.

[allezlesrouges]

I do think people are being a bit pessimistic about Roberts though. He played really well for Leeds before his injury, and was one of the first off the bench for us regularly. His versatility means he's almost a certainty to make the squad.
Vokes vs Bradshaw is another question entirely though, and tbh I'm leaning towards Bradshaw at this point in time. All in all though I think Vokes will still go along as well as Bradshaw, for the squad morale rather than anything else.

I think most people on here have sensibly come to the conclusion that he needs to be in the next squad. The debate surrounding this guy and his squad place has been going on since before the Euro's (namely Church v Bradshaw), it's nothing new.
