Better last 5-10 mins. Not sure how Collins made such a hash of a simple free header. The lack of any creativity in midfield is so hard to watch.
I was actually very optimistic after th3 2nd international window...it appears the players lost interest since they fialrd to qualify for the euros as the lack of effort on the pitch and all the pull outs says it all.
How can a manager set a team up when it’s clear the players have no interest judging my the lethargic play on the field and the pull outs off it.
I am hoping this will be Kenny's last game as he is taking us nowhere but rock bottom. He is clearly not up to managing the national side. The players are putting in very poor performances too by the way.

This passing possession game definitely isn't for me. It's awful stuff to watch. I'll never not watch them or say I don't want to see us at a championship but it's brutal stuff.
He nearly knocked someone out in row Z when one on one with the keeper against Bulgaria, it seems he’s trying to find new impressing ways to miss.
I feel like we are watching the end here. It is just nothingness.
Same old players like Hourihane and Collins showing they are poor, but I think Im finally waving the white flag on Kenny after that 1st half.
The players look like we have gone backwards since his 1st few games now. I think I'll admit that its time for a change unless something drastic happens in 2nd half
Whats wrong with 4-4-2 ? with 4 actual midfielders ~ Hopefully we see McGrath soon.
Certainly feels like the end of the Kenny regime is occuring. As bad as the ref and the surface are, it's Andorra. They have to win or he has to go.
Absolute rock bottom stuff,I don't think we can get any nearer the bottom of the barrel without scraping the underside of it,abysmal first half.
It’s a really painful watch. How have we not managed to trouble the Andorran goalkeeper? What exactly is our plan? Is Parrott on the pitch? Has McClean forgot how to cross a ball?
The passage of play in the built up to the Collins chance (how did he miss that?) was really good and exactly what we should be doing. Otherwise - terrible. Aired passes don't work on astros with the bounce, needs to kept on the ground. No shots on goal - unacceptable after a week's training camp in preparation.
Andorra concede a significant amount of their goals in the last half hour - not surprising if they're mostly part-time - so there's hope for a win yet, but the performance is just bad. This is deeply concerning tbh
Have to say I have been behind Kenny up to now but he has to go. Watching us play backwards and sideways against a park team is the last straw.
This is bad. I had low expectations for the game, but you'd think after a week of working together the team would be able to put some plays together. This game was pretty much chosen to help us get some kind of momentum going, but they are just not showing up. I expect us to win by a goal or two but am genuinely starting to fear a draw here.
I'm finding it very hard to argue with this point now.
Yep lot of players hiding. Doherty couldn't care less.
The biggest surprise here is that so many stuck with Kenny for this long. People said he was unlucky but he's actually fortunate to have been allowed to carry on for as long as he has been. It was clear after the first two international windows last year that the setup was all wrong. Nothing has changed since. There is no logic to how we are set up, how we are trying to play. Honestly worse than Staunton's time in charge. That half was another new low, in a year of many. 0 attempts on target. Against Andorra.
Would be quite happy for us to not win here as long as it definitely meant he would be gone after the Hungary game.

I find the lack of heart or commitment from the players incredibly disappointing, I can live with us not being great if we atleast show some heart, that atleast makes me proud as an Irish man but these players honestly couldn’t give less of a f*%k and it sickens me. Genuinely think Shanrock Rovers would give this lot more of a game and that’s a damning indictment.
