Played full 90 mins as Vitoria II lost 1-2 at home to Sporting Covilha.

It's puzzling his continued omission from AWs. Cameron has hardly played any minutes this season for Blackpool (English 4th tier), but Boyd is pretty much a regular for Vitoria II (admittedly often off the bench) in the Portuguese 2nd Div - and scored 4 goals this season to boot.

Then Thomas pulls out and rather than select a like for like player as a replacement (eg Boyd) - AH selects Fenton!

Pretty sure Boyd hasn't been in a Vitoria first team squad this season to date - so don't know if he is that close to the Div I action. I'd just be keen to see him in a AWs shirt, re any visible improvement from his days at the Nix.   If he has made himself unavailable for AWs to concentrate on his club football - why hasn't AH said as such?

Does AH just not rate the lower leagues in Europe, like Scandinavian or Portugal Div II?

Boyd has already played for AWs a few times, his last time in the squad being the 0-1 loss to Korea (March 2015) - so surely he can't be looking to try to switch to USA now?  Realistically he's nowhere near good enough to ever crack their ranks anyway.
