I'd be fairly concerned if Brady starts again after Saturday. I expect a maximum of 3 changes though - we'll find out soon enough.
If Brady was a horse he would be put down by now.
Looks a 5-4-1 with Andy O maybe in there to be the ball player centre back stepping into midfield. Brady and Ogbene wingbacks and a narrow 4 with probably Browne right and Knight left. Or maybe more. Central three with Knight behind Szmodics.
What even is the team here? Is it 3-6-1?
Kelleher
Omobamidele Collins O'Shea
Ogbene Browne Smallbone Molumby Knight Brady
Szmodics
I can't figure this one out. Way to fix your issues with getting swamped by going from having 2 to 4 anyways.
I'm thinking 3 5 2 with Browne or Knight at RWB ?
Well at least it's not a two man centre midfield. So it looks like the responsibility has maybe finally been taken off O'Shea and McCarthy. But it still doesn't look right.
The score apps have it as a 4 4 1 1
Its really not that complicated!!!
Could be anything
5-4-1 with Ogbene and Brady as wing backs. Szmodzics on his own up top. Pack the midfield
4-4-2 Brady and O’Shea as full backs
5-3-2 with Knight or Browne at RWB and Ogbene up top…
Still great squad management to call up just 4 midfielders and decide to start them all![]()
Right. This is why I was expecting McGrath, Azaz or Taylor to get the call during the week. Browne will presumably be moved into midfield at some point with Doherty or Ebosele coming on at RWB. But having two right wing backs on the bench but no central midfielders pretty much sums up the standard of management we have had in 2024 to date.
4-5-1 with Omobamidele at right back. Good to see something different anyway if nothing else. Makes the decision not to call up any more midfielders even more baffling though.

Bit more life to this one at least. Nothing particularly incisive as yet bar that chance just now, but at least we're not 2-0 down and outclassed
Pity that one was ruled out - the offside didn't interfere with the great finish, even if it was clearly the correct call.
Bit of a dull game overall, though rather that than Saturday.
Sickner for Ogbene,a great strike….
Irish by birth ,Harps by the grace of god.
Better. The players look somewhat liberated by an outbreak of common sense on the touchline in terms of setup. Even Brady wasn't that bad in that half, albeit he's an obvious weakness teams will target if the plan is for him to stay in the side. And to be fair to Heimir it only took him one game to figure out he was working with a pair of clueless spoofers and needed to take control much sooner than he initially anticipated.
Have to say, not seeing how Greece hammered Finland three days ago, who are currently 0-0 with England in Wembley at half-time.
Football is strange at times though.
