And only 1 of those goals came from open play, ( away in Wales) set piece and long balls for the others according to today's Indo also 3 of those goals against Moldova

And people slate "set piece specialist " Guppy

Makes him sound like a sex pest.

GD, I was gonna mention Michael O'Neill so well done on doing so.  There is so much disdain/condescencion about the NOrdies on this site for various reasons.  What can't be argued is Michael is a very intelligent manager whose team functions perfectly well with lower league players and he doesn't resort to the primitive/directionless/opt out football we currently watch under Martin O'Neill.
