I think so, maybe, hopefully. I might need to see the teamsheet first but I'd make us slight favourites with home advantage and the Welsh absentee list.Quote:

Delaney labelled the Irish style of play as 'primitive'.
I guess we'll have to agree to disagree at this point.
It is primitive, but that’s more down to the instructions (or lack there of) from the management rather than the players. End of the day like I said the players would be professional if they couldn’t at least do the basics.Quote:

3-5-1-1 I guess.
If Hendrick is moved back into midfield, and it's Robinson behind O'Brien, that's a far more mobile looking front line.
The welsh players look like they are waiting in trepidation for the spaceship to land and scoop them away to safety.
Pace, passion, tempo, a game plan, square pegs into square holes, moral courage and kick lumps out of them relentlessly.
Watching via RTE updates. Seems like we're doing alright....
As usual look like a team that only met each other in the tunnel...
Best bit of play we have managed in a year.
Definitely a bit better. Not giving up too many chances or as much possession and creating one or two attacking moments.
Very poor match. Turning into another snoozefest. If Robinson wasn't on the pitch then we would have nothing to offer.
Not too bad.
Hendrick a key player for us. He is always trying to play football.
Just need a goal now. Looked defensively solid again. Maybe a set piece goal can win it.
Christie in midfield. I just can't see it. He isn't showing for it at all. Can't wait to get rid of it when given it.
Hiding.
He is not doing too bad for a lad that has not played midfield since he was 14 .Quote:

Stupid free kick to give away....
Ill take this loss if O'Neill and co are fired.
Robinson off....I honestly just dont know anymore, none of this makes any footballing sense but then what does with Martin anymore.
Against this young Welsh team the last thing we needed to do was give them an even break and of course thats exactly what we did
