Doherty is very versatile. Coleman is a specialist as right back and a leader as it was shown the other day. Coleman is a better dribbler but Doherty has bettera accuracy and a finesse in his passing, it shows that Doherty played as central midfielder for ireland as a youngster. Doherty can score more goals but Coleman can dribble out opponents easily. Coleman is the better defender of both as it was shown yesterday.
Doherty should play in midfield alongside hendrick and jim mccarthy
Better that than 'Jimbo'.
Taken off. Injured against Brighton.
Tweaked a hamstring trying to track Connolly (who did really well to beat him and hold up the ball before putting in a really dangerous ball).Originally Posted by youngirish
Darn it !
Can’t really see him making it if it’s a hamstring. I guess Cyrus Christie is the only option. To be honest, after that at right back, I think Sean Gannon could be the next best right back we have - he’s been consistently among the 3 best players in the league for about 5 years and genuinely feel he’s been overlooked in terms of clubs abroad. Internationally, If he was playing in any other position apart from right back, I think he would have come under consideration but when you’re competing with Coleman and Doherty, it’s a non-starter. He was injured for the Dundalk game in the aviva anyway, so I guess he’d still be out...
Actually, Dara O’Shea just occurred to me as the most likely call up... don’t think I’ve ever seen him play right back personally, so not sure how he handles the position but I know he did it for WBA last season...

Joe Rafferty's another option. A solid player who can cover both fullback positions though never really gets talked about in the context of Ireland. And Danny McNamara's playing regularly in the Scottish Premiership. Alan Browne can play at right back too.
But yes, I wouldn't be at all surprised to see O'Shea get the call.
Gannon is injured as well. He's had trials abroad afaik too - not sure why it hasn't worked out because I think he's good enough.
With Lenihan out as well, assuming Coleman is out, I guess it’ll be 2 from: O’Shea, Christie and Long (guessing Clark has a recurrence of an injury, as he didn’t make the squad against Newport or Burnley)
injured today lasted half an hour
carlitos hurry seamus
Scarface ?
He came off after half an hour
We missed him over the last 3 Games.
Can't wait to hear the story of how in the northern reaches of Peru this is what everyone calls Coleman
That's just his way.

Watching the Everton / West Ham game. Coleman very good, looking one of Everton’s best players - but on the recovery runs, he really looks like he’s lost 2 yards of pace. Maybe it’s a lack of fitness due to the recent injuries or maybe it’s paranoia about re-injuring the hamstring for a 3rd time or whatever it would be and he’s only running at 60%. Or else those hamstring injuries have really sapped the pace from him - which is a bit worrying
Best Everton player by a mile today, played very well but their players seem very tired, had a chance to score but opted for a low pass instead of shooting in his one on one vs the magpies keeper.
Clark and Hendrick played well for them as well, Hendrick was playing as a holding midfielder with Shelvey pulling the strings

Have to disagree on Coleman, I thought he was very poor yesterday.
