Obviously the biggest positive is a clean sheet against quality opposition outside of Dublin so that'll do the confidence of the defenders no harm at all.
I thought Doyle played really well. I think you can guarantee Fulham will put an offer in for him after last nights performance. Keane had a decent game. Keogh and McGeady weren't bad overall. The problem again was central midfield and that should be rectified with Reid, Reid and Carsley to come in. Andy and Steven Reid in central midfield would have made such a difference last night.
I just don't understand how Irish and British footballers are so brainless when it comes to positioning. I remember McGeady had the ball on the left and he stood there for 2 or 3 seconds waiting for someone to offer themselves. Nobody did and he passed it to the opposition. How do our players find it so hard to move into a good position to receive a pass? Thank god for the 2 Reid's.
