Norwich medics have ruled Pilkington out of Sweden and Austria games. Hamstring strain.
Some Swedish beer available to the 700 or so Irish fans will include these:

Mcgeady could be out as well. We are really getting fecked by injuries in this campaign.
Kirin Beer, that well-known Swedish product with the Swedish - no, wait, Japanese - writing on the tin?
McGeady out is a boost.
McGeady got injured playing for us against the Faroe Islands, he's only started one of Spartaks' games since.
I suppose Green can fill in there if needed. Sure is a boost if McGeady pulls out.:rolleyes:
I'd say McGeady is a big loss, particularly against Sweden away where ball retention will be important. But of course we don't do ball retention...
Why ?Quote:

he is doing alright at crystal palace alright.
Walters and Hoolahan play for their clubs on the right wing at times so I suppose they could do a job for Ireland there if needs be also Coleman did well enough when he played on the wing too but hes needed at RB now, I wonder if Trap will keep faith with McClean and Brady.Quote:

I think a fit McGeady would be a useful asset in Sweden, end product or no end product. The game is made for Hoolahan behind a single striker, but of course we haven't prepared by trying that out in any serious manner (only in the 2nd halves of friendlies, which are always a bit chaotic with loads of substitutions). If Cox starts on the wing then I will eat my hat.
I hope your hat is tasty. I wouldn't pick Cox on the wing myself, but Trap seems to fancy him there. Bizarre but true.
Agree totally re-Hoolahan being ideal for this game.

He's doing a hell of a lot better than Paul McShane is at Hull.Quote:

I haven't seen Delaney for CP but McShane is actually doing very well for Hull this season playing on the left side of a 3-man CB line.Quote:
