I gave the team that an irish friend told me only to Horgan replacing odowda.

What is going on with Horgans persistent selection? Good to see Molumby in there. Hopefully Idah will score...
Horgan played ok against England in fairness. Actually made a couple of incisive forward passes, which is what the cut for "ok" was in that game. I'm ok with it for the moment. I agree on his limitations alright - even at Dundalk he struck me as a Damien Duff lookalike without the end product.
Horgan was one only decent players last Wednesday, did enough to keep his place anyway.Quote:

Actually they’re in relegation zone in championship! My bad! But still don’t understand his selection.
An alternative formation with the players selected.
Randolph
O,Shea Duffy Long
Doherty Molumby Hendrick McClean
Horgan Idah Brady
Or switch McClean with Brady.
Don't disagree Tommy but I don't see many players pushing for that right wing spot at moment especially with players out
S.K sees Manning as a midfielder out wide
Id take Doherty right wing, O’Shea right back, Manning left back (although he hasn’t played much). But suppose it highlights the poor squad we have presently and how stretched we far with injuries/covid
Yeah I wouldn't argue with you too hard about those choices, although I'm not convinced about Manning and I don't think Doherty is suited to playing that far forward in a front 3Quote:

Cullen fails to make the matchday squad which is shame.
Conversely, it's a strong-looking Wales side. I fear another very difficult evening lies in store...
That's exactly how I see it too.Quote:

At least Hourihane has been given the boot. That’s a good start.
and o'dowda. interesting how Horgan didn't get in the squad before and now is starting.
he's sticking with idah too. I know options are limited of course.
Really odd selection. A decade on the repeated selection of Daryl Horgan is giving me flashbacks to Stan's dedication to Alan O'Brien!
I fear we're going to be hockeyed tonight.
Hes right to stick with Idah, at least he will develop. No point in putting in someone like Collins who is just a journeyman and will never have a chance of being a top playerQuote:

As opposed to O'Dowda, who has been repeatedly criticised here, or Curtis? Kenny is dealing from a pretty ****ty deck and Stan just wasn't.
