    Malta have upped their game since the goal. They're the more likely to score I think - although it's not clear at which end they might do it

    It's a disgrace that the young players in the squad haven't been given proper minutes because the manager wants to dave his job by grinding out a 1 nil win against malta. Going backwards.....when are they supposed to impress? Does the Vatican have a team we could play?

    He's gone and compounded the Hendrick substitution by bringing on a midfielder or wing back in Sykes for his striker so we now have a teenager up front on his own. I'm incredibly disappointed here in Kenny.

    Can anyone explain the logic of giving Sykes five minutes and bringing on Hendrick earlier?

    I feel very sorry for Stepheb Kelly. He's probably had the most difficult job of anyone today including the management. Picking the motm must be awful difficult

    Malta after bringing on a guy who didn't work out at Pat's last year, just to put this in context

    I think he's completely lost any courage he had. He wanted Hendrick on to help him see out a 1-0 against Malta. That is completely unacceptable.

    France is probably the best game for us next given how poor we are against any team outside the top 20.

    I think one nil against Malta is stretching the definition of a win to be honest.

    Shocking performance, as always terrible in play tactics by Kenny - he just hasn’t progressed beyond league of Ireland level despite all our goodwill. Still though talent in squad at all time low. Nothing to be gained by bringing in an alternative manager, can’t see any good realistic options in any case. Persevere through next set of qualifiers and hope squad improves to make it worthwhile assessing managerial options.

    Ferguson still has another 18 months or so to go before he’s ready for high level senior football. Would prefer him to get loan in January rather than get bit part minutes at Brighton. Hopefully league one or continental. Championship level may be above him right now

    The positives
    - The prodigal kids showed really well - McGrath and O’Dowda
    - Sykes looked really tidy in his few minutes
    - Ferguson got a few touches and got a shot in

    The negatives
    - the tempo and risk aversion - so many passes back when there’s a reasonable forward pass on
    - the starting XI and Hendrick sub. Seriously wtf?
    - Ogbene was entirely anonymous

    Even though he’s scored a few goals for us, I think Robinson is a very poor international player.
    He constantly gives away possession and gets dispossessed.

    O’Dowda has looked lively in the last two games. That’s the only positive.

    Sorry Kenny, it’s time to go.

    We’ve no idea what our first 11 is after two years. Like not even close to having an idea of what the starting 11 looks like, bar maybe 4 or 5 players

    Kenny is a dog€hit manager. He got lucky with the dundalk team as it was a poor time quality wise in the LOI when he brought them success. He has failed pretty much everywhere where he has a degree of pressure on his shoulders and will duly be dead man walking by mid June next year. I don't know who can replace him in the Ireland job, but preferably someone who at least receives a modicum of respect from his players, and someone who will finally shoo hairband hendrick out the door once and for all.

    Kenny Cunningham reckons we could hit France on the counter with McGrath and O'Dowda in March...
