Best of luck to him, for sure. He is struggling at Championship level though; not sure he's an immediate answer to our problems, but let's see.

I’m sure he’s not but admire his attitudeQuote:

Markedly better in every respect than Thursday for sure.
Poland maybe starting to come into it now. (It may be just the recent pessimism that makes me think that rather than that they're just having a good spell)
30 minute possession stat.... Wait for it... Poland 49% Ireland 51%. Welll blow me down with a feather.
Should probably add that the Poles look like they're out for a Sunday stroll and are playing at a similar pace to the all priests over 75s.
It's encouragingly dull alright.
I can guess which side has an extra pair of gears
Poles picked it up a little in the last 15 or 20 before half time, but apart from a few crosses never really looked like getting into too many dangerous positions. We haven't really had a clear cut chance either.
It's a good advert for the Nations League actually
it's game like this that prompted the introduction of the nations league. no intensity. we could win or lose this by a goal or two and learn very little either way.
positives... o'brien is trying to put himself about. robinson looks a little better than the other night. stevens has been busy.
negatives... christie has been caught in possession 3 or 4 times. looks a bit hungover. MON clearly doesn't rate premier league regular matt doherty.
Williams a huge positive for me. An actual holding midfielder doing his jobQuote:

Agree on Christie, looks a liability. Hard to know what Doherty has to do. Plays as wing back in the premier league every week but not good enough for O'Neill?
Two chances creatsd early in second half and third one we've scored!
Don't mind being wrong sometimes!Quote:

Poland look like they are in a hurry to level it here,might leave a few gaps at the back..
