As well all know we have a dearth of strikers at the minute. I see many people suggesting the likes of Scott Hogan etc as solutions but so far he has shown no intention of declaring for us. Long seems better off the bench than starting for me or is it that the lack of options is so bad he is an automatic pick? Walters was excellent against Austria. Should he move up top from out wide. Daryl Murphy has been picked for some massive games, i.e Bosnia and Germany. Scored a huge goal vs Serbia to. Or is a left field choice like McGoldrick, Stokes, Rooney or Sheridan worth a go? Kevin Doyle is surely finished at international level or are there others who disagree? McClean has been used up top and done ok- could he be a different choice with Brady moved to left midfield?
Walters coming back from an offside position but Shane Long was definitely onside- Shane Lonnggggggg.... has done it!!!!

Long is probably our most dangerous striker, I agree perhaps off the bench he is more effective, Walters is wasted out on the right wing imo so perhaps he should be our number 9, Long in behind him, akin to Quinn/Keane combo

Long.
We have no one else.

Walters is 34 in a few months, Murphy is a similar age too.

Grim future ahead.

Walters, Long and Murphy are all well ahead of the other options. Walters has led the line reasonably effectively for Stoke a few times this season but think MON prefers him out on the right. If that preference continues then Long is the default No. 1. Murphy offers us another option but Long is the better all round player, despite his inherent streakiness. I'd also imagine of those three he's the one that opposition centre halves would least like to play against.

Two people voted for the Elvis basher fair play lads

I do think it should be walters. Long is most effective from the bench

All day Long........Walters not quick enough to get in behind like Shane.  Pretty stark options alright.

This isn't even a debate is it? 

Shane Long is our main man backed up by Johnny Walters.

We need Hogan to come off the bench at the 70th minute or so and drive at the bloody goal. The fact we've tried James McClean as a striker a few times now.. is worrying.

Stokes has two votes ClapLOL

Long is a good impact sub. Not good when he starts imo.

Why is there no option for Connor Sammon?

Sammon?  FFS, you may as well call up Cascarino.
