    Best of luck to him, for sure. He is struggling at Championship level though; not sure he's an immediate answer to our problems, but let's see.

    I’m sure he’s not but admire his attitude

    Sadly, that's probably our best chance of getting a result.
    Hello, hello? What's going on? What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here!

    Williams making a difference, can see him calling things and keeping Hendrick and O'Dowda in check. Apart from overplaying in a dangerous position and losing a man from a cross, it's been a largely positive start.

    Markedly better in every respect than Thursday for sure.

    Poland maybe starting to come into it now. (It may be just the recent pessimism that makes me think that rather than that they're just having a good spell)

    Should probably add that the Poles look like they're out for a Sunday stroll and are playing at a similar pace to the all priests over 75s.

    It's encouragingly dull alright.

    I can guess which side has an extra pair of gears

    Poles picked it up a little in the last 15 or 20 before half time, but apart from a few crosses never really looked like getting into too many dangerous positions. We haven't really had a clear cut chance either.

    it's game like this that prompted the introduction of the nations league. no intensity. we could win or lose this by a goal or two and learn very little either way.

    positives... o'brien is trying to put himself about. robinson looks a little better than the other night. stevens has been busy.

    negatives... christie has been caught in possession 3 or 4 times. looks a bit hungover. MON clearly doesn't rate premier league regular matt doherty.

    Williams a huge positive for me. An actual holding midfielder doing his job

    Attitude totally different. Randolph has thrown it out and passed It out more than in Last Ten games combined. Midfield including hendrick wanting It to feet from The centre halves .o brien holding up nicely fairly quick feet looking to link

    Agree on Christie, looks a liability. Hard to know what Doherty has to do. Plays as wing back in the premier league every week but not good enough for O'Neill?
