Jimmy Dunne called up for Ukraine game. Duffy out through suspension and Egan withdrew for family reasons.

O’Shea - Lenihan - Collins
Still not too bad.
So does that leave us with 24?
One poor fecker missing out on the matchday squad if so. Hope it's not Manning or Ebosele. To not be needed for all four games would be a bit of a kick in the teeth
assume manning in as backup lcb. would be very harsh on ebosele to miss 4 MD squads, would have him in over christie tbh but hard to see that happening given kenny sees him as a fwd
Festy did make one match day squad, but was an unused sub.
It may be that Obafemi is the player that misses out unfortunately.
Festy was in the squad for the Ukraine home game. Apparently he had a knock on Saturday.Originally Posted by Jd2793
What is so remarkable about the irish players is the passion that they exhibit in any international football match. Is the same passion that you find in any of the 10 national teams in Conmebol and not that easy to find elsewhere. Canada is now on the same attitude as Mexico too. Things may not go their way but they play with passion. Don't know any other uefa national team who the players play with this passion. England doesn't, Wales maybe yes, Scotland not much as it showed. From Belgium is hard because most of them are playing without passion but De Bruyne plays with passion and conflict and effort with Belgium.
Maybe Denmark, Germany is now returning too, Greece maybe with a southametrcan.
Would Kenny call up Dunne if Manning was to come into the match day squad to cover LCB. He also referenced Stevens when talking about cover for LCB last year. Can see Manning missing out again.
if that is the case then manning being in the squad at all is pointless.
Said it myself that he was only brought in because Stevens and McClean came into the camp with injuries. Have him in camp training incase one of them pulls out rather than letting him out but on standby and having to come in mid camp.
Didn't need someone to come in with Coleman carrying a knock reporting for camp because there was cover within the squad for RWB.
Anyone else scared? Re tomorrow
I am, I have to say. Our players must be wrecked and ukraine will be at home( poland) with their fresh first team back.
This could get ugly.
I was a bit worried before the Scotland performance. Now I can see that we're so utterly unpredictable that I can take some solace in the idea I've literally no idea what to expect from us. Could be a joy to watch; could be utter drivel again. Something more mundane would be nice - maybe a battling 2-1 defeat which is more like how the match might have panned out in previous years?
Bit worried about having to play a back three that have never played together but if the rest of the team is the same and they put in the same effort could get a result or a battling 1-0, 2-1 loss.
Big worry for me is Cullen will likely start four games and he's one yellow away from being suspended. Would be our luck he gives away a sloppy free and ends up missing the Scotland away game.

Would expect that to be the team if Obafemi is fit.
He is not gonna change nor after his win vs Scotland, team that wins doesnt change.
My team from The players around.

Collins.......Lenihan........ OShea
Browne Cullen Molumby Manning/knight. McClean
Parrott. Obafemi
I would play Manning for Knight to have more balance in Poland. I would also play Stevens for Oshea because we need some experience At The back. Wouldnt play. Collins and. OShea together in a back 3 .
Would we not expect Travers to be looked at in this game?
No chance
This is save my job territory for kenny
He rates kelleher ahead if him and thats it
Its a very serious game. We win this and we could easily be in a play off before we know it.
We lose and we are flying Ray Houghton out to Ghana to find Chris hughton
