Hoolahan add his second late on to make it 4-0. Good to see with Austria starting to loom.

Also picked up Norwich's player of the season award (for the first time, surprisingly).

Certainly is. Hoolahan, McGeady, Brady and McClean in the starting eleven should provide a nice cutting edge for MON's team.

Is that Brady left back with McLean and mcgeady either side of long and hoolahon in a midfield three (hopefully with McCarthy and one of hendick/arter) ?

I thought McGeady would start against Wales. He didn't. On the above, I can't see Ward being dropped. After that, could be anything.

Ward is one of the few who will play whenever fit, I think, alongside Brady, McCarthy and Coleman.

No, I'd keep Ward at left back. I'd even contemplate playing 3 at the back, 4 in the middle and 3 up front.
I think we have to take it to Austria in this game on June 11, no holding back.
Perhaps Arter as a deep lying midfielder to help the defensive three (can't see McCarthy making it even with a month to go).
Midfield of Arter, Hoolahan, Brady, McGeady (perhaps a bit ambitious and it would also mean dropping Jeff Hendrick but he wasn't too impressive against Wales)
Front three of Long, Walters and McClean

I'd add Randolph (for now at least), Hendrick and Walters to that.

**Diggs246** · 08/05/2017, 8:20 AM

Randolph will start against Austria as there is friendly action just before the competitive game. But his place is by no means secure after that, if he is on the bench for the hammers next season. He may have Elliot and possiblly Westwood to deal with

Jesus I don't fancy that back four Charles!

Hoolahan has the highest key passes per game in the Championship so far this season: https://twitter.com/TheNinetyTwo_/st...71944882524162

Most key passes on average (per game) in the Championship this season:
1. Wes Hoolahan - 3
2. Jamie Paterson - 2.8
2. Shaun Williams - 2.8

**Stuttgart88** · 19/09/2017, 7:21 PM

It's that fifth of a key pass that makes the difference.

**Fixer82** · 18/01/2018, 11:08 AM

Anyone see the match last night? By all accounts Hoolahan was class!

Saw a small bit but he made an impact alright, had a rabona cross from the right that unfortuantely didn't lead to anything and nutmegged Kante apparently, although I didn't see that. He also got Pedro sent off, for luring him into an ill advised tackle when already on a yellow.
