Its ok without being good. They break fast and we've struggled at times. Ball retention is good but missing Connolly's pace and movement in and around the box.
Great save from Randolph who that apart has had little to do. Fingers crossed for the 2nd half.

Still too many unforced errors and bad passes. Only bright light is we're being patient. I think we will score early second half. Noticed a lot of their players slipping, we need to make gain from their mistakes.

We need to keep one or two more players back when we win corners, right now I feel like Slovakia are more likely to score from an Ireland corner than we are.

We need George to shut up about shoot outs.

The real James McClean showing up for the second half.

James McCathy is cursed in an Ireland jersey if this injury forces him off again.

Jesus Doherty brings nothing to this side. Such a shame Coleman is injured.

That was the chance there. Low and hard and it’s in.

It's a really even game. This is our level.

Have a feeling that was a foul in the build up, so might have been called back if he had scored.

McCarthy was a pedestrian again tonight. We look much better since he's gone off.

Great work from Duffy. If only we had a strike force to match.
Not to bore everyone with trite soundbites, but do feel like Slovakia want it a bit more. There's still a fatal hesitation about Ireland coming forwards.

For all the world looks like a game that’ll be decided by a mistake rather than a great bit of football.

Needs to bring Long on to inject a bit of pace. I'd take Hendrick off also and replace with Molumby.

Hourihane has to do better there.
Stephen Kelly is dreadful at this.

Oh dear, what a chance that is. Trying to walk it in!!

We have a serial problem with not being able to pull the trigger. We have players lining up in the box to pass it off. So frustrating. That was the moment.
