Putting on Browne for Molumby and taking Obafemi off instead of Parrott were wrong calls.

Harsh on Browne, no? Played very well coming on against Slovakia and offers a goalscoring threat severely lacking in our other midfielders. I could've easily seen Molumby getting himself sent off in the incident where Knight and Cullen were scrapping with McTominay and Hendry.

I'd agree with that. Browne for Cullen would have been the change

I think we lost Molumby's energy in midfield and he was up there with our best performers on the night but I didn't hate the change as it happened, Browne had been good for us recently

All Browne did was throw his hands in air for that Scotttish corner.

parrot should of been off much earlier....maybe taking him off he might of thought it’d effect him more after that miss?

6 wins, 10 draws and 11 defeats from 27 games now.....he has been given time, results need to change quickly. Looking forward to the euro 24 draw next week, crucial to make a positive start to this even if it is only beating you minnows.

And very winnable games in that 27. Performances improving but 4 points from 5 games is not good

Obafemi should’ve stayed on; Ogbene for Parrott would’ve been the better call and should’ve happened 10 mins sooner than when Parrott was actually taken off.
Browne for Cullen, not Molumby. Doherty was gassed and also should have gone 10 mins sooner than he did. All big calls, and all were incorrect, IMO.

The Euros is all or nothing from him. The rebuild will be worth it if we qualify. If we don't he's gone. I think it's that simple now

Yes, obviously he needs to survive next week's game first, but assuming that goes to plan it's all going to come down to the Euros qualifiers now. It's his second full campaign so it's this one or never for him.

The issue obviously being that if he doesnt qualify then we are four years away from our next realistic chance to make it to an international tournament. There is no reason for us not to be qualifying for the Euros this time. It's a huge gamble on a guy that has proven to be unable to get consistent results. The performance was decent tonight, dont get me wrong, but at some point the results have to come, and I feel like that has been said many times over the past 15 or so games. It's a huge ask (and in my opinion a completely unrealistic ask) to suddenly expect the results to just start happening because we are finally in the Euros Quals. If anything, the pressure in those games will be far, far higher than the pressure thus far. This teams best performances have come either when there is nothing on the line, or when nobody was expecting anything. This team has always faltered under expectation. At the start of his reign pretty much everybody assumed we would be peaking for the Euros. F*ck, even going into this Nations League people assumed we would kick on after the miserable start but promising finish to the WCQ. But here we are, one competitive game away from the start of the Euro24 quals and we cant put a string of positive results together after nearly 30 games. It hardly inspires confidence in our prospects. |

France and England being in Pot 2 is very worrying

i think we can all agree that overall we are now in a much better place when compared to micks reign part deux and the final couple of years under o'neill. results may be comparable to the above but at least we're f**king enjoyable to watch. i for one am looking forward to the draw, couldn't care less who we get as i know this team will give it a lash!

We are in very sticky territory here the performances have improved but the results have not.
Kenny has had time no doubt are some of the improvements down to him no doubt but similarly he has been responsible for the poor results also.
Do you stick or twist. If the FAI were any good they would be aware of who they could potentially get in if they were to twist and way up their options come the new year. |

I agree to a certain extent, it's refreshing to see us play like that against an alleged superior opponent but as Zizu said, the proof of progress is ultimately results. It's success in the Euro qualifying or it will be the end of the road for him. Whether it is or not, the team is in a much better place now than when he took over |

Personally I would twist. I can't see Kenny getting consistent results. We are consistent at being inconsistent. The end of the last qualifying campaign had us full of high hopes. This has been a poor campaign with some decent performances again giving us some hope. I don't think its enough though. It's a results business. Some guys might be happy we played well. I don't be. I be gutted we lost. And we have lost too many games.
