Call up Cillian Sheridan. He is the answer to all problems. Is he even playing at the minute?

Yeah, i mean, the more the merrier, doesnt matter their current club, it is important for them to play at a competitive level, yes and give options.Quote:

players to improve the team that i would have in the squad taking out injured and uneligibles:
Sean McDermott
Jimmy Dunne
Ryan Manning
Connor Ronan
Graham Carey
Cillian Sheridan
Who is centre forward tomorrow? Robinson or Long?
Id go with Robinson. We at least might learn something.Quote:

It's probably time to say farewell to Arter and McCarthy just on the basis of their injury susceptibility and any football 'quality time' they have left should be reserved for their clubs.
Anyway, we can't depend upon their availability due to the sporadic nature of their fitness. I think that would probably leave Hendrick as the de facto holding type midfielder, I think he's better operating within a framework for Ireland, getting forward on occasion, rather than operate all over the place.
I agree with that , but Hourihane was better than Hendrick. Cullen or Molumby are gonna start. James McCarthy was playing really well until his heavy nasty knock from Hamsik.Quote:

What about Will Keane, Bielsa ? Would you see any kind of a future in him ? Just signed a short term at Wigan, could we knock a tune out of him do you think ?Quote:

will keane is over.
Connor Ronan has played 45 minutes of football in seven months. I'd at least give him another 45 before promoting him to the senior squad.
I’d suspect he’ll play Robinson in the centre and Brady or O’Dowda out wide right.Quote:

Think I’d go for:
Randolph
Doherty/Christie (is Doc fit?)
Egan
Duffy
Stevens
Cullen
Molumby
Browne
Robinson
McClean
Long
Midfield changes due to the assumption that McCarthy is injured and Hendrick and Hourihane will be knackered after Thursday. It’s a really tight turnaround. Basically 60 hours between games. And 120 mins rather than 90...
Really don’t feel strongly about McClean v Brady v O’Dowda for the left. McClean is the only one I’d feel confident is fully fit, so I’m going for him.
I think their centre halves could be vulnerable to Shane Long’s pressing, as long as we don’t get outplayed in the midfield
dont see many changes, only up front, or for injury
Ah jaysus.
Is it time for us all to dig our boots out?
All 4 of those could have started. The actual positive player didn't play Thursday apparently.
Egan, O'Dowda, Browne and Robinson all ruled out. Actual positive player not named.
A shambles from the FAI as Usual !
In fairness, while blaming the FAI is usually a good default, you'd need to know a lot more here to blame them. We're not the first side who've fallen foul of this thing. It's a ******* of a disease.
