100% we will not be the team of course. We also need the likes of Long back even if hes not scoring he is a f**king headache to play against. No matter what if we don't get our defence to push up and sort out the space between both def/mid and mid/attack we will be sh*t with and without the ball. we are pretty much playing an 8-1-1 under McCarthy. The 3 in mid or even the 5 need to constantly rotate and the 3 attackers should too, we are not moving teams mid field or defence around, all they do is stand there and wonder why the Swiss or Danes or Georgians are easily able to match them up in Midfield. Of course all the players likely do this in the EPL but they take a time machine back to the 1980's when they play for Ireland and none would speak up to it for fear of being deemed "difficult to work with"

id just love to see this team in action... i think its the team most of the fans are crying out to see... and if we are still sh*te with this side then thats that lol

We're short at fullback for this match with Coleman suspended. If logic played a part in such things, I wouldn't be surprised to see Joe Rafferty called up given his form this season for PNE and his ability to play on both flanks.

I like the look of that team. 9 Premier League regulars + a great keeper in Randolph and a decent player in Cullen.

Seems we're always destined to have to ride our luck with a backs to the wall performance in order to get anything.

Yes, that would be my main concern re. the Danish match.

Having said all that, I don't think Denmark are all that....they could just as easily have taken only a point off the Swiss over two games. But they still look better than us, which gives us a problem.

I'll be optimistic and go for a 1-0 win.

Denmark have under-performed in this group and their manager is not getting the best from his team. In Copenhagen we could have even stolen all three points if we'd taken one of our chances late on.

Denmark are far more like us than they would ever admit, and it'll be a tense slog of a game, settled by a single goal.

I think this can be generally attributed to his not being James McClean.
LOL
Something to do with the phrase 'absence makes the heart grow fonder'' I think. LOL

Brady and Long just get better and better when they aren't playing. Brady has been woeful for us for a long time can't even make Burnleys bench. Long must have the worst goalscoring record  that you'd see and also mostly can't make his clubs bench. 

Daft suggestions really they won't even make the squad nevermind the team and they can't complain either.

He is similar to Hendrick in that he doesn't bring his club form into the games with us. Two of them joined the group in great club form and served up compete dross.

Basically everyone is sh*te. Substitute one sh*te player for another sh*te player = same result
