Interesting choice of team alright. Anyone know where someone might view the game online?
I'm happy with that except I'd have any other option instead of O'Dowda. He shouldn't have even been in the squad for me.

O’Dowda the one none of us saw coming. He’s obviously a super trainer in these camps because he seems to impress every manager. He’s shown flashes of quality, it’ll be interesting to see the shape and if he’s a bit deeper than Idah and Connolly. Looking forward to this.
I think it's a tad early for Idah to be a senior international but good luck to him. And I like the O'Dowda pick - if it's a continuation of how the U21s played under Kenny.
I'm assuming O'Dowda is picked with the intention of him showing pace and work rate on that right hand side, especially when Doherty goes forward.
With this 433, I hope we do okay with it, but at the same time that it's exposed for being a formation on the wayward path and that Kenny accepts our real truth in future lies with 4231.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Any stream for the game lads?

Not too shabby so far. Think Idah is doing well.

Ref is awful but decent start from us. Front 3 looking sharp, Doherty finding it a bit tougher than i thought to get into the game. Good pressing from midfield.
That press from Ireland is beautiful. The Bulgarians are really struggling with it. Great to see us holding possession too. Hasn’t quite clicked in final third yet.
McCarthy not at the races so far. Very sloppy in possession.
I like Duffy but he’s such a weak link trying to play out. He’s made some woeful passes in dangerous areas.
Duffy is an old fashioned centre half with Ireland. No harm in that at times. Kenny stamp is obvious already with only a few days with the squad. Onwards and upwards imo. No helter skelter stuff - great for the purists nd not just as seat of the pants stuff hoping for a ball to break, So far so good but not crated much in the final third.
Need to be more clinical with chances like that cut back and O'Dowda should have done a bit better.
At least the is an obvious struture, game plan, style and I would even say composure in possession. Its been a while for that. Randolph even same to have licence to be a sweeper keeper!

Methinks if offside not given penalty for Bulgaria at the box.
60% possession in the first half, I dont think we had that against Gibraltar.
Are 5 subs allowed?
interesting game. we are the better side but they've nearly got in on 2 or 3 occasions.
idah growing into the game a little bit but he will need to do more.
