i think the squad should be:
(gk) Westwood, Kiely, Kenny (Given deserves a break)
(df) Foley, O'Shea, Dunne, Paddy McCarthy, St.Ledger, Delaney, J O'Brien, Kilbane
(mf) A.Reid, Delap, Andrews, O'Toole, Garvan, Whelan, Duff, McGeady, Hunt, Walters
(fw) Doyle, Keane, N.Hunt, Elliott, Sheridan
The team should be:
Westwood
Foley O'Shea Dunne Delaney
Andrews Garvan
McGeady Duff
Keane
Doyle
A.Reid, Sheridan, the Hunt brothers, McCarthy and St.Ledger should get the whole second half
I dont think Sheridan should be anywhere near a first team squad at the moment. He needs much more experience at club level before we start throwing him in to the international team (even if it is a friendly).
agreed, there are other lads ahead of him at the momentQuote:

Keane-Doyle
Let them sub it up in the second half as much as they'd like.
i think sheridan is worth a try because as you said its a friendly and we need somebody tall up front who can head a ball (daryl murphy is better with the ball at his feet)
what are the chances of trap really calling these lads (Garvan McCann O'Toole et al) out of the blue?
he seems to be displaying the same myopia as Stan in some of his decisions. Not criticising the results he's had or anything (not having seen any of the qualifiers so far) but surely its coming to the point where he's got to call up these form players at some stage ahead of the tried and tested that shouldn't be anywhere near the squad based on current form / or lack of? (i.e Murphy, Long , Keogh, Gibson, Whelan)...
have a funny feeling though that we won't see many of the young lads in this squad either...

Squad I'd like to see:
GK: Given, Kiely, Kenny
D: Foley, J. O'Brien, Dunne, O'Shea, McShane, St. Ledger, Delaney, Kilbane,
M: Duff, McGeady, S. Hunt, Whelan, Carsley, Rowlands, Andrews, A. Reid, Lawrence,
F: Keane, Doyle, Folan, N. Hunt
Possible Starting XI:
Given
Foley Dunne O'Shea Delaney
McGeady Carsley Andrews Duff
Folan Keane
Rowlands, Lawrence, Reid should all get time on the pitch.
St. Ledger should get a half to establish himself as backup for CB.
Edit: If forgot Paul McShane...
Id like Murphy at Bohs to get a chance . Only 12 goals conceeded in the 31 games so far in the league. Rest Given and give the lad a half
Apperently Westwood was amazing last night for coventry with morrison scoring the goal.
Im not a bad keeper but im a Prod :p
dont you mean a bad proddy boy?? :DQuote:

Apparently McCarthy was called up which is a good thing.
has the squad been announced? i havent heard about itQuote:

R ye talking about Paddy or James McCarthy?Quote:
