There you go again Stutts, your glass is half empty :)

For our purposes, the issue is McGeady's not match fit, he would just be an ace sub option with 20 minutes to go.

With 1 league game before the 1st leg, I'd play this eleven on current form and availability

Elliott

Christy
Keogh
Wilson
Brady

Coleman
Whelan
Mc Carthy
Mc Clean

Hoolahan
Long

looking like Elliott could be out of play offs with a thigh injury picked up against Stoke on Saturday. Seemingly he was struggling before kick off and really should not have played .

I'd go with...

------------- Westwood -----------

Coleman - Wilson - Clark - Ward

------- McCarthy - Gibson --------

-- Hendrick - Hoolahan - Brady --

--------------- Long ----------------

I think O'Neill will go with Randolph, Keogh, Whelan and probably Murphy ahead of Westwood, Clark/Wilson, Gibson and Long though at the very least, and possibly Brady left back instead of Ward with McClean also starting.

I hope you're wrong on O'Neills picks - Daryl Murphy can't buy a goal at the moment and has no place in that squad never mind the team!

I don't see Wes starting the away game.
He doesn't have 2 games in him back to back.

I'd play Brady in his position for the away leg, and we should develop him in general for that role.
Wilson at full back.

He is so unlucky. Whenever he gets in to the Newcastle team, he picks up an injury

It's unusual that a 'keeper would keep picking up injuries so regularly, or pretty much every time he plays. Is it a recurring one? Maybe he's just not cut out for competitive/more robust action.

he's only played 16 times for the first team in the 4 years he has been at newcastle. he doesn't usually play for the reserves either, as he is currently 3rd choice.

I can't understand a player who is happy doing that. Yes he might be getting a decent wage etc but surely your ambition as a professional footballer is to play on a regular basis?

Ciaran Clark starts tonight for Villa at Spurs, Remi Garde's first game in charge.

Edit: And badly at fault for Spurs' opener after only 2 minutes.

Further edit: And Kevin McDonald is in charge as caretaker I think.

Keogh would have got that header.

Maybe he has a bad back from repeatedly bending to pick the ball out of the back of the net? :p

O'Shea looks like being available to Sunderland at the weekend which is good.

Long isn't going to make the Southampton squad again which is bad!

A view from Bosnia: http://pogmogoal.com/the-blog-reel/b...n-green/22496/

Player for player, Bosnia has the bigger names and is technically superior but Martin O�Neill�s side is made up of Premier League and Championship players who have the edge in pace, athleticism, and work rate, and they have shown great resilience over the qualifying campaign. For the most part, Bosnia lacks pace in both attack and defence and has often fallen prey to quick counter attacks, most recently against Cyprus.

Bosnia will look for a strong result at home so they have something to defend and hold onto in the intense atmosphere that awaits them in Dublin. O�Neill has said that he considers playing the second leg at home an advantage for Ireland as long as they make sure there is still something to play for, which means his team may come to Zenica set-up not to lose, rather than to win.

With Bosnia�s only quality defensive midfield option Muhamed Besic suspended for the first leg, Ireland should find it easier to operate in midfield and to run at the relatively slow and often unconvincing Bosnian back line. Shane Long�s pace could prove key.

No one in the Bosnian camp expects an easy tie; the qualifiers have proven that the Irish are a difficult team to beat and are expected to fight tooth and nail, especially at home. There is a healthy dose of respect for �The Boys in Green� among most Bosnian fans who know the historic win over World Champions Germany will only boost Irish belief and confidence.

Yeah a quick check through the games - Hoolahan and Brady start for Norwich, Coleman and McCarthy start fot Everton, Gibson on the bench, McGeady not in squad. McClean starts at Old Trafford and turned Daley Blind upside down after a few seconds :) No Judge for Brentford, must be still injured.
