Yep, if the two lads are missing, I'd also go with this team.

I'm beginning to think he will go with 442 alright, and it appears Walters is MON's go-to guy so that'll mean Long on the bench. I think he could well go with your XI.
I wouldn't be overly worried by Keogh against a British team but I'd still prefer Delaney.
Good lad, Willo, he's just not a CB, left back maybe?
If we're relying on inside information from Ian St John, we're all truly up the sh!tter.
Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!
Madness to play Keogh. He's just not that good. Delaney by a country mile is better.
When's the squad being refined?
It's to be refined this evening at some point, according to this piece for today's Irish Times: http://www.irishtimes.com/sport/socc...land-1.1994055
Has McCarthy had his medical assessment at Everton yet or what? The nerves, like!
How often have you seen Keogh play ? I actually saw him play for 90 minutes against Wednesday, albeit against an extremely light-weight attack and he did well. That said, I agree Delaney is playing in the Premiership and Keogh at a lower level. What exactly has Delaney done wrong I wonder - it's a bit Trapesque his exclusion.
Ciaran Clark anyone ?
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
Very nervous but Scotland always make me nervous. Ireland-lite though they be.
Any word on McCarthy?
There is no such thing as a miracle cure, a free lunch or a humble opinion.
Squad named. McCarthy's in it.
I would go with the following eleven to start against Scotland
Forde
Coleman O'Shea Delaney Clark
Gibson
McGeady McCarthy McLean
Long Walters
Subs (with a view to some participation): Keane, Brady, Quinn
McCarthy might be in it, but Delaney's not.
And McCarthy is in subject to a medical assessment by the FAI doctor. A Sky Sports piece earlier seemed to imply that that assessment would take place upon him joining up with the squad tonight.
Oversight on my part. It would be sort of difficult for Damien to play if he wasn't even in the squad.
In that case we'd have to go with Clark at center half and Ward at left back. It's not the most inspiring Irish defence of all time, and against Fletcher and Naismith it could be all hands to the pump for long periods.
I have a feeling we'll take a 2-1 win from this tie. No basis in reality as I feel Scotland are a better team than us. Just a feeling.
Derby contacts on other MB's reckon he's not up to it (well not EPL standard or anywhere near) and has looked pretty shaky when I've seen him play. With respect, even Scotland's attack is far superior to that of the Wendys...
MO'N has unsettled me with his selection over Duffy/Delaney, similarly Clark's selection.
Hope I'm wrong, as any Irish fans anticipating an away win are seriously underestimating Alba, especially at home FFS...
My 11,
Forde
Coleman O'Shea Clark Brady
McCarthy Gibson
Mcgeady Hendricks McClean
Long
Now I know there's absolutely no chance Brady will play left back but I'd prefer him at left back over ward who I feel is by far the weakest player in the squad, plus, he's played wing back recently for Hull. Also Walters is a certainty to play as will Keane. I really hope Scotland are not underestimated. They have some very decent team players with the 2 Fletchers, brown, Naismith & Hutton is playing well at right full for them. We're gonna have our work cut out.
Keep up with the script fella...D. Fletcher won't get a sniff of action and Hutton has been injured for a while. Clark has no chance and Brady is not a defender.

I never said Brady was a defender, but he has played there recently for Hull & I'd prefer him to Ward, that was my point. Also with Wilson missing I'd like to see Clark play. It's called an opinion.
One I'd agree with, if that's our options.
Ward played well in Germany and it would be a total shot in the dark to see how Brady fares at left back. Left wing back is a completely different position and he was helped out by Hull being in ultra defensive mode generally at Anfield. Try Brady left back against the States if they think it's a runner but I doubt it is to be honest.
We were fortunate for a bit of individual brilliance from McGeady(with a slight bit of luck on the turn he made when the ball came down) to get us out of Georgia with 3 points. We did very little else in the second half, for all the possession. Scotland are a better team than Georgia by a long way, and nowhere as limited when it comes to getting a goal. Stop running away with yerselves lads.
Scotland look like scoring more often than we do against decent opposition. I think we will get a draw here or could be one of those last minute winners for Scotland even though we have had most of the possession. I dont see us winning.
And when has McCarthy become our saviour or white knight, pinning winning all on him playing. He has had a few good games for Everton, but he still has done very little for us. Yet.
I'm a bloke,I'm an ocker
And I really love your knockers,I'm a labourer by day,
I **** up all me pay,Watching footy on TV,
Just feed me more VB,Just pour my beer,And get my smokes, And go away
