What time is the game starting on Friday? Looks to be a 5pm start as Skys coverage is starting at half 4. Will be rushing out of work next Friday so. Friday night games at good when we are at home, not in this sort of scenario.
The doubtful list ahead of this weekends games appears to include Dunne, Andrews, McShane and Keane.
They are all injured Elroy?
Keane and Whelan are both on their respective benches this afternoon. Doyle, Ward and Foley all start for Wolves. Kelly and Duff start for Fulham. McCarthy starts for Wigan. Kilbane is on the bench for Hull and McShane is out injured as already mentioned.
The Wolves stream is fecked
I'm watching the Spurs Wigan game. McCarthy is making shapes.
Rednapp looks like he fell asleep under the sun lamp.
Andrews was injured (groin) according to BBC.
Seriously, he has to start foley at right back. Kelly has done 2.5 matches at left full so far so he should start there. I know they haven't played as much for Ireland but two started in englands top tied should really start over McShane and Kilbane, full backs of a team that could be in league 1 next year by all accounts. Have to seriously question trap if he starts McShane and Killer
Ward just be moved to left back. Immediately makes a great tackle to deny Routledge. Foley moved from Right back to right midfield. Has had another very good game. Doyle not really in the game so far. Booked by a really awful referee for a slight push. Newcastle just equalised. Good goal from Carroll. Doyle taken off 72nd min. Looked off the pace today. A little worrying. Ward makes a brilliant goal line clearance. Certain goal stopped with keeper well beaten. Newcastle all over Wolves now.
Whelan is on as a sub for Stoke at Stamford Bridge.
Edit.... And just had a cracking shot which hit the bar with Cech beaten.
been watching the Wigan Spurs game. McCarthy has been excellent in my opinion. Offers the simple pass and is always in the right place to pass and receive. Has definitely filled out too.
Andrews said on Sky today, he is expected back in 2-3 weeks. He'll be in the Sky studio tuesday night for the Andorra game.Quote:

He is too good for the u21s, I hope Trap drafts him in to senior squad. He is developed enough for that.
There's certainly a case for it with Andrews pulling out.
Agree Stu, you can tell just looking at his pace, he is going to be a player.Quote:

Duff and Green are fighting fit, Fahey played midweek but the rest are lagging compared to James.
McGeady not match fit.
Lawrence and Gibson not in the club squad
Whelan came on as a sub
Treacy subbed.
James could rove around the right , Whelan and Green in the middle and Duff on the left.
Another chapter in the Paul Green success story. Should he play the next two games (and I expect him to) and do the business, he could conceivably nail down his place.Quote:

I'd much rather us play McCarthy wide than Keith Treacy.
were going to lose in armenia guys i can sense it. our whole squad is in shocking shape atm.
given-doesnt start
mcshane-reserve with a championship team
dunne-in defence of a team that has conceded 9 in 2 games
o'shea-doesnt play in the position he does with club as he does with country
duff-decent
andrews-injured but wont start for blackburn
whelan-sub for stoke
mcgeady-not match fit
keane-bench
doyle-off the pace
if we can be optimistic when players are doin well for their clubs then its only fair that u look at the squad for what it is atm, very uninspiring partially due to bad management
Given is behind the most in-form goalkeeper in England/Europe right now.
McShane wasn't picked for two games before winning his place back.
O'Shea has played right back for Ireland in all but a couple of recent games.
Whelan was dropped for one game and made a difference when he came on today.
Doyle has been good since returning and the week off will do him good.
