It would be dynamite altogether wouldn’t it would real fun to watch if nothing else. Think Mcgoldrick dropping deep allowing the 2 boys Connolly and Obafemi to cut inside let’s say and allowing the full backs to overlap like the U21s could be a fun watch. 
The big one for me is Doherty. Talks of accomadating both I can’t buy it we have 2 attacking full backs Stevens and Doherty that most teams in Europe bar the few top sides don’t possess. You have them you need utilise them and I think you must have the balls to put Coleman on the bench from the get go.

What kind of dream are you living in? Kenny has already come out and said he’s going to try to play both in the team. Anyone that things Doherty is as good a defender as Coleman needs to get their head checked.

Yeah the Denmark game really encapsulated that with his goal and his error

it’s a great match to get started with. Chance to travel together under the new manager against a team who have been very poor of late.

I agree, I don’t think there will be so much change in the squad. Given that he has said he doesn’t like naming those massive squads like the previous managers. 

Will be interesting to see what happens with Glen Whelan, will he keep him or will James McCarthy or Arter come back in. If the one or the other come back in, is there even space for Jack Byrne? Can’t see him not having Browne, Hendrick and hourihane in the squad and there is only so much room. He has also mentioned Molumby so it’s quite competitive for a spot there.

Rest of the squad picks itself really. Think it’s come too soon for Parrott

Best guess at the full squad:

Randolph/Travers/Kelleher

Doherty, Coleman, Duffy, Egan, Stevens, O'Shea, K Long

Hendrick, Hourihane, McCarthy, Browne, McClean, Molumby, Brady, Cullen

Long, McGoldrick, Connolly, Obafemi, Robinson.

Agree it comes a bit soon for Parrott/Idah. Close call between Robinson and Maguire for me as well. Could opt for O'Hara rather than Kelleher but I've a feeling he'll want Kelleher involved with the seniors. Byrne misses out as well.

Biggest indication of change will have to be Whelan out and Molomby in.

Will be strange not being able to travel for this.
Will people be staying at home, going to the local, watch with Friends?

Beat them 3-1 only last year so would be hoping for more of the same.

Would think now that clark is back from injury he could find a place, but maybe too early. But your defence is sound.

Midfield I would think that Byrne and Browne would be the most under threat. If like to see smallbone and knight ahead of them.

Attack I'd have obafemi ahead of maguire

I came across this the other day. Some lad from Snow Patrol or Kodaline or one of those bands. Very odd!

The goalkeeping situation is a definite concern. None of the goalkeepers mentioned above, bar perhaps Travers, are likely to be playing first team football at the start of next season. Seán McDermott is injured as well.

There must be strong grounds for calling up Jack Bonham at Gillingham. 26 and expected to start next season as number one for his club. He's been playing well the past couple of seasons in League One by all accounts.

is jack Byrne a take it off the back 4 midfielder or a Bruno Fernandes/Wes type midfielder! I’ve seen him as both for rovers but there’s a question of whether he would be good enough do the former for Ireland. Maybe he should really concentrate on being a wes type midfielder for Ireland’s sake as apparently Kenny plays with a no. 10.

They aren't the same type of players. Smallbone is more of an orthodox midfielder, Byrne is an out and out attacking midfielder.
We're decent enough..
