Didn't you say the same about Mick if we managed to beat Denmark going into that decider that every dog in the street knew was going to end in a 1-1 heroic failure? Even if Denmark hadn't scored, we still would've drawn the match. There was a depressing inevitability in the lead up that match that it would be a draw. Even though we surprised Denmark who were in second gear during the game, we still couldn't make it count and take advantage of it. |

Yeah, because it was a realistic appraisal of our situation. We were never going to beat Denmark, but we could draw and pretend we could have!

Unlikely- they have Vlahovic at Fiorentina and Jovic at Frankfurt/Madrid who are both pretty high quality players. I think Kostic (also Frankfurt) on the left wing will be their main threat, he’s absolute quality. Definitely a case to play both of Coleman and Doherty down the right

Yah, I was agreeing with you then as well. You might've misinterpreted my post when I was laughing at the freedom of the country comment. A decent challenge from Ireland for second spot would see Kenny get another campaign at least. We're not at the N.I./Wales lowest points yet imo and I expect us to finish 3rd and hopefully a half decent challenge for second place. I think if we lose in Serbia the second spot objective is a write off and the rest of the campaign will be about winning as many games as possible to cement third place. |

No worries at all. I think Kenny deserves all the time in the world, because we won't do better and can't afford any better! It's the delusion I find bizarre! The 'even if' we don't come second stuff. We are sh*te. The same lads would give out about England fans talking about winning the World Cup, but I would say there's a far better chance of them winning it than us qualifying.

Switzerland are a better side then Serbia and there isn’t a metric around which would tell you otherwise. Denmark a better side too. I am very realistic at the moment and am dreading getting 1pt out of the 2 games as Irish football does seem to be at a bit of a nadir in general constant injuries on the field, off the field in disarray. Being positive though on ability as a total squad we aren’t a million miles behind Serbia who have better players on paper yes. We despite the potential injuries will still pick a side that has 6-9 players playing at a top flight club. Cullen arguably too playing for Anderlecht a decent side and Hourihane/Long etc playing for top 6/8 Championship clubs. Edited by kevin100 - 13 Mar 2021 at 10:26pm |

considering we've had 5 months of hearing how Kenny is this and that, it is the definition of fickle to completely 180 opinions on the basis of 1 or 2 results

If ever there was a WC to miss out on its Quatar. Russia on the other hand would have been epic.

Serbia just like ourselves failed to qualify for Euro 2020.
On paper they’ve a slightly better squad but that’s about the difference at the moment - so no gulf. We may well finish loose / draw / win games against them or we may loose both. Predicting or having an opinion we’ll be a distant 3rd/4th before a ball is kicked is fine. Repeat posting about it ... why bother? |

I can't see us qualifying for the wc. Our squad is decimated with injuries at the minute and plus its a squad in transition which we might not see their full potential until 12 to 18 months time under Kennys style of play. I trust Kenny and what he is trying to achieve and getting rid of him would not help in the long term. Who could possibly transform this team to be world beaters after a couple of training sessions? Patience id needed is needed before we can properly compete again.

Big week coming up for Kenny .
Now until we get over the weekend we dont know who we will pull out of the squad . Now i would say Kenny knows 8 of the 11 who he will have out in Belgrade and will make his mind up on the other 3 during the week . Hard to guess how we will set up, will he be thinking of locking up shop and get out with a goaless draw or will he roll the dice and take it to Serbia . I would take a draw now for sure , i can't see us scoring really but hope i am wrong .

Solid performance and a draw would be a great start but has to be followed up v Lux.
