Kiely
Kelly Dunne McShane O'Shea
Duff Potter Reid Hunt
Keane Doyle

Am I right is thinking keane, O Shea and Reid will be available. Anyone else available i cant think of?

[gufct]

id play Delaney left back its his natural position and were struggling big time in that position.

[shakermaker1982]

I think we should rest O'Shea (for a couple of seasons). I hope he sends out an experimental side, new blood might inject some much needed enthusiasm. Will Andy Reid be fit enough to play after his injury?

[kingdomkerry]

McGeady is back too. Where is Stephen Reid, Is Andy Reid injured. What club does Delaney play for is he a regular.

[dr_peepee]

Steven Reid had an op to ensure he's ready for preseason..

[lionelhutz]

I thought A. Reid was out of the friendlies.

If he is, I'd like to see the following 11;

Kiely

Kelly McShane Dunne O'Dea

McGeady McPhail Potter Duff

Keane Murphy

I think it would be great to give the likes of O'Dea, McPhail and Murphy starts. I'd like to have a look at O'Dea at left back with Delaney perhaps playing the 2nd half. This is a problem position for us that needs to be sorted quickly.

McPhail by all accounts has had a good season for Cardiff (though he didn't have the best of games in the cup final) and itd be good to see if he's developed much since his early promise.

And I believe the partnership of Murphy and Keane could work very well if its given time to blossom. With Doyle off form, Murphy would be the best foil for Keane if we're going to play two up front

[jbyrne]

hes bound to have a proper look at keogh given the 2 goals he has scored in portugal

[NeilMcD]

Kiely


Kelly Dunne O Shea O Dea/Delaney


Duff/Hunt Reid ? McGeady

Doyle Keane


The last position can be filled by any of Potter, Garvan, Mc Phail, Whelan, Miller, Rowlands, Hoolahan

[L37Ultra]

D.Kiely

S.Kelly R.Dunne J.O'Shea Delaney

O.Garvan


D.Duff S.Hunt

A.McGeady

R.Keane K.Doyle

With Shay Given, Lee Carsley, Kevin Kilbane, Steven Reid, Darron Gibson and Joey O'Brien, Stephen Ireland, Steven Finnan, Andy O Brien all posible combacks then i'm pretty confident going into the qualifiers.
