Rep of Ireland v Oman - Wednesday, 31st August 2016 - Friendly
What are we thinking for tomorrow night? That squad could really have done with an Egan, Cunningham or Doherty alright to freshen things up. I don't think there's anything to be learned from playing McShane or Pearce, only to prevent others from picking up knocks. I suppose they're only emergency cover at this stage, especially McShane. Probably worth noting that Pearce is still only 27. Maybe Keogh and Clark could do with a game together as that hasn't been the pairing since the playoffs, when they both performed well. Long could do with a goal but we could definitely do without losing him to injury, and I think he sat out training either today or yesterday with something minor.
