Starting 11 v Denmark

Should he experiment further or go with his strongest 11 to prepare for the Czech/Slovak games? Personally I think he should give Colin Doyle another run out and go with his strongest outfield line-up and send them out for a win. Unless O'Halloran starts getting games for Villa, I think we're stuck with either Harte or O'Shea at left back. I'd go for Harte, because as bad as he is, he's better than O'Shea at left back and is a good bet for a goal.
1. Doyle
2. Finnan
3. Harte
4. McShane
5. Dunne
6. Carsley
7. Ireland
8. S. Reid
9. Doyle
10. Keane
11. Hunt

I reckon he should start with his strongest XI, then introduce the fringe players (Potter, O'Halloran, Keogh, etc) to see how they fare with the established senior players.

Lads, maybe this has been posted elsewhere but I can't find it: does anyone have details re: ticket outlets and general travel and match information for the game in Aarhus? Any advice or even links would be much appreciated!

Yours sincerely,
Terence

O'Halloran hasn't done anything to merit a starting place yet. Stokes should be given a decent run upfront in the second half, same with O'Halloran, Potter and Murphy and see if they can impress against decent opposition. Wouldn't mind seeing Alan O'Brien get a run out if he gets off to a decent start with Hibs too.

Will Roy O'Donovan be eligible for a cap now that he's on his way to Engerland??

I was waiting for the first comment along these lines.

In other news, if you want an outside bet for the squad, Timlin has been playing regularly in Fulham's pre season games, at left full and left midfield.

Kilbane has been playing at left back for Wigan so far under their new manager. There's a good chance Stan will try him there for us.

Tets I seem to remember the exact same thing happening to Timlin this time last season (i.e played every single pre-season game) and, as far as I know, he didn't make a single appearance in the Prem...Have you seen him play? and does he have the ability to break into the first team this year or will we see him dropping down the leagues?

No, I haven't seen him play. He made one appearance for Fulham last season in the League Cup, before being sent out on loan to Swindon for the rest of the season, he was a regular starter until he got sent off at Grimsby in March and started on the bench from then on.

steven reid is back in training - as for andy last i heard he was attending some specialist in germany - would be great to have the 2 boys fit and back in the team.

will robbie carry over his spurs form to ireland ? if not - dare i say should we play a 4-5-1 and leave doyle up front on his own- drop robbie ? - opinions please

also would welcome ppl's opinions on o'shea should he start in slovakia and in what position ? - if he was to be dropped - then finnan right back - who left back ? harte /kelly etc etc

Fulham have just sold Franck Queudrue to Birmingham this afternoon so that may give Timlin a chance, unless Fulham go out and buy Leighton Baines.

They sold Quedrue but they bought Koncheskey, and Rosenior can cover left back also. Thats all irrelevant though because Timlin is a Left Winger, converted to a Central Midfielder but back playing Left Wing in every pre season game for Fulham so far this year. However at the start of the season he will be behind Clint Dempsey and maybe Lee Cook, plus Fulham have been linked with Chris Brunt, Seol Ki Hyun and Hammer Bouazza all of whom can play left wing. Not much hope for Timlin then, he should get himself a move to the Championship and work his way up like many an Irish player.

No. Andy is playing pre season and Steven is almost back from injury, although I think he is training.

Andy set up Charlton's first 4 goals in a 5-0 win over Gillingham last week. He also scored against some non-league outfit before that.

With some of Robbie's recent performances in an Irish jersey this would be the least he deserves but due to Stan stupidly giving him the captains armband, he is virtually undropable
