We're playing a bunch of part timers here, you would expect most LoI teams to beat these lot, never mind the Irish senior team. If these lads cause us significant problems he'd be as well to hand in his resignation tonight.
 
We've only beaten Andorra by 3+ goals once so wouldn't be getting too hung up on the score. A dominant display is all that is needed (with a win obviously!)

I see SK has his friends, family and LOI acolytes out in force on this site preparing ready made excuses in the event of not beating Andorra. They have only one argument in his favour..."give it time, all will be good"
Based on absolutely no evidence whatsoever. I don't blame SK for taking this job, what wouldn't he? But I do blame JD for his appointment. Look at the photo below, the body language of those players, says it all really.

Andorra have only lost by three goals, or more, to five teams in the last three years - France(twice), Portugal, Latvia, Poland and Hungary. Other than Latvia, I can't see us outscoring those teams.

But surely this is a game where Kenny's passing style of play should be bringing improved results. Playing the way we played previously meant we almost always won these kind of games but rarely by large margins, that was a result of the cautious way we were set up. 

Kenny's style is more open and games like these are where we should see the benefits of that on the scoreboard. If that approach can't even being improvements in the form of bigger wins against minnows like Andorra then what is the point of persisting with it further?

Who is making excuses? Most people on here are being realistic in thinking we will beat them but by 1/2 goals. Expecting a 4/5/6-0 win is very unrealistic especially on current form.
What’s that about LOI people also could you maybe explain that? Irish supporters supporting the Irish manager, hardly that complex? Sure maybe give it a go yourself head off when things return to normal and catch a LOI game.

If you think that photo says it all it just proves that you have an agenda and your posts should be taken with a pinch of salt.

6-0 win tonight, better player body language, better communication from the manager but no communication to the media on questions he’s asked.
Have I missed anything on tonight’s to do list?

My position is I’m not an LOI or a Kenny fanboy but genuinely did think he would make a job of us. It hasn’t worked out no he was had dreadful luck at times too. 

I’d like to see him stay on until the end of the campaign at least as he’s blooding players/giving them a chance and even introducinh left field faces like Szmodics and McGrath. 

If results actually improve then I would say give him the Euros. Unfortunately I don’t see them improving and think he will lose the job

Andorra never get hammered, Wales scraped a win in a qualifier couple years ago with late goal i remember watching at the time thinking, "we'd struggle to score against these".
I often bet on them to draw at home and it often comes in. 

I think 6/1 on a draw is a great price tonight. I'm thinking 0-0 or 1-0 to Ireland. Won't be any more I don't think.

If he doesnt win tonight then that really should be the end of it.

I can't see us beating Andorra tonight.

When the devil got a hold of me,
He wouldn't set me free,
So he kept me soul for ransom.
