———-— Randolph
Coleman - Duffy - Rice - Ward ——- Hendrick —- Arter Maguire —Browne — McClean —————Hogan I’d like to see Liam Kelly, Matt Doherty, Kevin Long and Conor Hourihane make appearances in the second half. We want to put out a strong enough team to win this game, the last thing we need is another comprehensive defeat against a side who we should be well able to beat. Potentially lose against Turkey, then an almost guaranteed loss in Paris, would mean our game against the USA is the last chance we have to gather some momentum ahead of the Wales game. It’s an awful pity that O’Dowda isn’t fit for these friendlies, I think he’ll become a mainstay in this campaign. When you combine some of our fresher options, I.e Maguire, Hogan, O’Dowda, Hourihane, Browne and Rice, with our mainstays like Coleman, Duffy, Brady, Hendrick (When on form), McClean and Randolph, we have the makings of a half decent team. A central midfielder of decent ability is all that is eluding us, I’d be quietly optimistic that between our wingers, and Hogan / Maguire, we’ll find goals. |

I wonder will MON bother naming his customary initial squad greater than the population of Leitrim or narrow it down as its the first stand alone game since Poland at home almost exactly three years ago.

Well the fact that there's a training camp in the few days prior to the game in Antalya he will need to bring 24 or 25 players anyway just to have 11 v 11 training games while a few will sit them out due to knocks etc.. I'd have no problem him naming a provisional 40 man squad, there will be a few withdrawls, bringing the amount traveling to about 30. |

I hear the FAI is shelling out the €6.40 for tickets for away fans - some gesture.

For 200 odd fans, that's well over a grand.
There are LOI fans who'd say that's a waste of FAI money. They can't win. What do you want them to do? Charter a plane from Superfans airline? Edited by SuperDave84 - 07 Mar 2018 at 4:07pm |

Shane Long is the only outfield player over the age of 30 in the squad
Hogan and Maguire are the other strikers named

That squad has alot more competition and very few (if any) passengers and I'm a fan.

It's not exactly a squad overhaul, but it's a decent start. My one major gripe would be that I'm not sure why we'd need 4 goalkeepers, yet only 3 strikers, very strange..

We're decent enough..

No McGeeady, no Richard Keogh.
Who else is gone, aside from the retirees?

Ward and Whelan both omitted, must be retired or O'Neill making that decision for them.
I reckon Christie, Williams, Pearce, O'Hara and Lenihan be left out. Just noticed Randolph not there either, wonder what the crack is there. |

No O'Shea or Randolph. He knows what both can do, and it must be the end of O'Shea at this stage.
