Danny beat me to it
Meyler in for O'Dowda is the only change, as expected. Murphy given the nod up front again.
Danny beat me to it
It's going to come down to who has more energy. Nervous that the Danes are going to get one early.
Poor team, some howlers playing tonight!
Worst Irish team in years....
I’d have Long in for Murphy. Would’ve liked Hoolahan to start but need him to come on not too late at least. O’Neill possibly retiring him tonight
Not a great team at all is it? Trying to get into Martin's head, which isn't easy at the best of times, it looks like he's going to hoof it long to Murphy for the first half and hope the game is scoreless at the break. Then, one would hope, he'll spring Hoolahan, O'dowda, and Long for the second 45. That's the only thing that would make sense to me

Keep it tight for 60mins, then enter Wes & Long to send us to Russia.
What is the problem with scoring first and having Denmark have to adjust...feel like the whole "Wes will score in the 88th minute and we win 1-0" thing is playing with FIRE. Big time fire lads. Which ever version you like, Springsteen or the Pointer Sisters.
Horrible feeling it’s going to be glorious failure. We score in the first 10mins and concede an injury time away goal. 80 odd mins of torturous hope then pain. It’s the Irish way.
Holohan, oDowda and Long off the bench if chasing it.
Whelan and the two Longs if we’re defending a lead.
There's no way Wes will come on if it's still 0-0 after 60 minutes. In fact, I can envisage us getting more compact and primitive the closer we get to 90 minutes. O'Neill will see it as too risky throwing on creative players late on when a goal for Denmark would all but kill us off.
How could we possibly get MORE primitive?
Gonna sit on this lead I think. Shouldn't, but MON will.
Dam so disappointed the scored before I could get a bet on lol.. maybe it was better I didn't knowing my luck.
But a long was to go... don't think we can defend so early, more of the same is best plan.
