    The back 4 that played on Saturday were fine so McShane in for Dunne should be the only change. Can't understand why people are proposing that O'Shea deserves a place.
    Together with all our hearts.

    S. Reid
    J. O'Brien
    Keogh

    Doyle

    WHY play Keogh wide again after the game he had......... and if O'brien was so crucial in the centre of defence why move him out for that **** o'shea

    have to say, keogh aside, i think thats almost the best team he has available.

    I wait and wonder how the pillock will screw this one up with (almost) his best players on the pitch in the positions they play for their clubs.

    Water bottle anyone? Big thumbs up? Something new?

    Can't get radio from the office. Just wondering if anyone has a ticker or some such.

    Not the best, but it may get you by.

    Have to say I'm pleasantly surprised with his selection tonight.
    1. He hasn't been too stubborn to play Hunt from the start, we will see if he is better as starter or as an impact sub.
    2. Keogh had a bad first half against Germany but improved and deserves another chance against a poorer side, if it doesn't work he can go up front and he can bring on McGeady for the last 25 mins.
    3. Giving O'Brien a chance in CMF now that we have 2 players that have some experience in CB. The Reid-O'Brien CMF combination could be one for the future and it does no harm to have O'Shea and McShane play together in case Dunne is out injured/suspened in future.
    4. Giving Kilbane another crack at LB (a problem position for us) is also good and lots of people on here have been crying out for that.
    5. Finnan playing at RB

    Anyway we will see how it pans out, especially the Reid-O'Brien combination. I hope it doesn't die a quick death due to a poor performance tonight.

    Sh!te game no matter which medium you are using to follow it ...... zzzzz
    Reid had a great game on Saturday so now they think everything should go through him. All a bit predictable. I'm listening to it on the radio link BTW.
