Hungary v Republic of Ireland - Sunday 16th November - 2026 World Cup qualifier

The boys will be running on adrenaline. I’m OK to keep the same team. Probably we will need to sub out Taylor at some point given his lack of match fitness. It’s possible Coleman will fade.

I’m really glad we were in a position to take Parrott off relatively early to keep him fresh.

Theoretically I wouldn’t be opposed to starting Molumby over Taylor but part of me just says reward the starting lineup from the other night unless there’s a known injury going in.

I'd be shocked if he takes Coleman off. That probably cost us the draw in Lisbon. Coleman has another level when he plays for Ireland and he doesn't need to care if it affects his club performances so he can go hell for leather.

14 hours to go...haven't been this excited about an Irish game since.....since...

I wouldn't be opposed to making at least two changes but starting the same XI to keep momentum is understandable. It can happen at times that a player can come in and play well for a game. If the manager has a player or two who weren't available the other night back in contention to play - if there's more confidence that those players can come in and perform, there's a decision to be made. There are 5 substitutions but you don't want to have to be reacting to something after the event either.

I don't think HH is going to want to get too cute with the starters.

I realize of course we played them already but what do you lads think of Hungary going into this?

Is it possible that we have an advantage in a way knowing they only need a draw? That would terrify me if the situation was reversed. We would sit back, play scared and then over compensate. Its not like that are so successful to fall back on pedigree either.
