QuoteI dont think Sheridan should be anywhere near a first team squad at the moment. He needs much more experience at club level before we start throwing him in to the international team (even if it is a friendly).
i think the squad should be:
(gk) Westwood, Kiely, Kenny (Given deserves a break)
(df) Foley, O'Shea, Dunne, Paddy McCarthy, St.Ledger, Delaney, J O'Brien, Kilbane
(mf) A.Reid, Delap, Andrews, O'Toole, Garvan, Whelan, Duff, McGeady, Hunt, Walters
(fw) Doyle, Keane, N.Hunt, Elliott, Sheridan
The team should be:
Westwood
Foley O'Shea Dunne Delaney
Andrews Garvan
McGeady Duff
Keane
Doyle
A.Reid, Sheridan, the Hunt brothers, McCarthy and St.Ledger should get the whole second half

I thought you were off the drink Ronnie?

agreed, there are other lads ahead of him at the momentOriginally Posted by Junior
Its really not that complicated!!!
I think we should keep the starting team intact, save for central midfield. Not sure who I'd like in the whole squad but in the starting team I'd have:
Given
Finnan-O'Shea-Dunne-Kilbane
McGeady-Whelan-McCarthy-Duff
Keane-Doyle
Let them sub it up in the second half as much as they'd like.
i think sheridan is worth a try because as you said its a friendly and we need somebody tall up front who can head a ball (daryl murphy is better with the ball at his feet)
what are the chances of trap really calling these lads (Garvan McCann O'Toole et al) out of the blue?
he seems to be displaying the same myopia as Stan in some of his decisions. Not criticising the results he's had or anything (not having seen any of the qualifiers so far) but surely its coming to the point where he's got to call up these form players at some stage ahead of the tried and tested that shouldn't be anywhere near the squad based on current form / or lack of? (i.e Murphy, Long , Keogh, Gibson, Whelan)...
have a funny feeling though that we won't see many of the young lads in this squad either...
"Well I think they'll be a little disappointed with that" - Matt Holland on TV3 after 5-2 drubbing by Cyprus
Would find room in there for McCann and might even try and entice Naughton into the fold, but other than that this would be a very progressive squad.
whats the latest on Finnan ???
We have Folan, possibly Lee ahead of Sheridan for this role at the moment.
Squad I'd like to see:
GK: Given, Kiely, Kenny
D: Foley, J. O'Brien, Dunne, O'Shea, McShane, St. Ledger, Delaney, Kilbane,
M: Duff, McGeady, S. Hunt, Whelan, Carsley, Rowlands, Andrews, A. Reid, Lawrence,
F: Keane, Doyle, Folan, N. Hunt
Possible Starting XI:
Given
Foley Dunne O'Shea Delaney
McGeady Carsley Andrews Duff
Folan Keane
Rowlands, Lawrence, Reid should all get time on the pitch.
St. Ledger should get a half to establish himself as backup for CB.
Edit: If forgot Paul McShane...
Id like Murphy at Bohs to get a chance . Only 12 goals conceeded in the 31 games so far in the league. Rest Given and give the lad a half
Apperently Westwood was amazing last night for coventry with morrison scoring the goal.
Im not a bad keeper but im a Prod
dont you mean a bad proddy boy??Im not a bad keeper but im a Prod
I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.
Does Morrison's form warrent a recall to the squad? Do we really think that Murphy, Folan, Stokes et al have done more at club and international level to deserve selection ahead of Clinton? He has never been wanting for effort scored valuable goals and if Doyle ges injured has always worked well with Robbie. I've convinced myself. Bring back Clinton!
Apparently McCarthy was called up which is a good thing.
There is no such thing as a miracle cure, a free lunch or a humble opinion.
has the squad been announced? i havent heard about it
No - but the intent to call up McCarthy is widely reported.
It’s about time too and I hope St Ledger is also called up. The more players we have for centre back the less chance we will ever see McShane play there again.
R ye talking about Paddy or James McCarthy?
24 man squad
Given, Kiely, Doyle
Finnan, J' O'Brien, Dunne, O'Shea, Delaney, McShane, Kilbane
S Hunt, McGeady, McCarthy, Whelan, Delap, Duff, A Reid, Gibson, Lawrence
Keane, Doyle, N.Hunt, Murphy, Folan
And id start
................Kiely
McShane....Dunne.....O'Shea......Kilbane
McGeady....Whelan...Gibson...Duff
Hunt....Doyle
give delap 45 ins,,and give mccarthy 45 mins
