McClean's left isolated to deal with Dumfries? Ogbene usually 2 or 3 around him.

Is it time for Afolabi perhaps?!?! Will he save Kenny’s blushes by keeping the domestic fanatics onside?!
He's not in the squad. Player 25Quote:

It is an inexplicable call from Kenny, and deserves to be called out. An agenda in my opinionQuote:

I didn’t delete it, it’s a recurrent glitch on the forum. He called Afolabi into the squad, cannot justify that in any capacity. Regardless of making the final cut or notQuote:

Needed another forward. Ogbene looks spent.
Yeah - I think Idah does too.Quote:

Duffy up front now it looks like.
How could you not have freshened it up at the top yet? Really frustrating, Idah and Ogbene are spent. I guess Duffy is a change of sorts
Armstrong and Festy coming on
Why not before this if you’re going to play a hand?
Very much out of ideas it seems.
Should have taken McGrath off again for ArmstrongQuote:

No doubt he will reference bringing them in after match.Quote:

An Irish man of the match, never gets old
Kenny always seems to wait until everyone is past knackered until he makes a change.
Whealen is a gob****e
Awful last 10 minutes really.
Daragh Moloney being a bit of an arsehole here, almost sounding gleeful at the idea of Irish fans booing the team at full time.
Please make it stop. We deserve better than a Kenny. He simply has not learned on the job, and remains at LOI standard
surely that's enough. kenny out.
Tbh it was obvious how this window would go as soon as Ferguson was ruled out, seems to sum up the Kenny era. I’ve been a Kenny supporter from the start but this is just starting to feel like the O’Neill era, it’s only going to go one way.
Didn’t really lay a finger on them again for that last 10-15 minutes. Just when you want the intensity and barrage. Nothing there. Crowd leaving early. Nothing. Dutch are good but a result was there for us.
I was a bit surprised that the Dutch sat on 2-1 and didn't go in for the kill.
Second half we were awful. Did we test their keeper once?
Nothing much more to say. Kenny should be gone, but not sure he will be. We've regressed badly in terms of points gained and seeding, and someone else needs to take the team forward.
Tbh I was hoping that we were so unlucky with the crap draw we got that we’d use up all our bad luck and results of other groups would go our way. Sadly it appears it hasn’t with the Group E result. We don’t really deserve any luck but still just feels like everything that could go wrong has gone wrong.
Dutch changed it at halftime and that was that. We never really looked like getting a goal after that. Poor second to concede, but I think they'd have got one eventually.
Unlike France where they are just so much better there's nothing we can really do, there might have been something in that match for us, but it ended with a whimper really.
I know it's a bit paradoxical to take off frontmen when you are chasing a game, but Idah and Ogbene were utterly spent well before 90 mins, and may as well not have been on the pitch by the end.
Awful second half after a decent first,the Dutch arent special in the grand scheme of things and Koeman is an absolute bluffer but we made it so easy for them to see it out in the second half....
Kenny's time is up and should be put out of his misery.......
