Forde,Coleman,Wilson,O'Shea,Dunne,Walters,McCarthy,Whelan,Long,Keane & McClean Hopefully Brady and Hoolihan get on but God help us not Sammon.I hope the centre-halves are ok they would be my main concern,is Dunne ready and O'Shea still able?
Dunne's been playing very well for the greatest team in the championship Mick; three clean sheets on the trot and only 2 conceded in five. I'd say he's still not 100% fit though but not far off. He'll keep Ibby in his pocket for the ninety no doubt. I can see us getting all three points in this one.
Yeah heard he was playing well,as Redknapp said about him: “People thought because he was a big lump he wasn’t quick. He’s not quite as quick as he was then, but people use to amaze me when they would say: ‘he can’t run’. I would say ‘sorry, but you must have the wrong bloke.’” I'm getting nervous already,big game
It won't necessary be up to Dunne to stop their big striker , it will depend on the ability of the ROI team to stop Ibr . From getting good service . The question has been asked is O'Shea still able ? I don't think he was ever able , however he just about does enough to keep his place
Great start from us! Bad mistake from Micky Lustig. The keepers starting position wasn't the best either. Great play from Keane. Typical of him really.
Lustig redeems himself with a great cross for Elmander I score. He did really well to get across Dunne. Sweden well on top all of a sudden.
......an old man ran away from our midfield and beat the keeper at his near post. A terrible goal to lose.
Not good enough. We needed to play our best players. Even then we ain't good enough.... But hey ho. Really disappointing.
Too many not good enough. The team tried hard but lacking in any creativity . Too many long balls from own half . Actually when we got the ball even ten yds into their half their defence found it difficult to deal with the angled ball in but in the second half we were reduced to lofting the ball up from deep in our own half not pretty, not effective. M O'N should get the job now. It would suit him perfectly and he could do a very good job, could at least speak English.
One consolation , Whelan is out of Tuesday's game . The only problem is that Trap will probably pick Green instead.
