Who else is even a realistic option ?
The likes of Dunne, Cunningham, Smallbone, Ronan, Sadlier, Hogan, Obafemi is all I can think of.
Though I don't think any of them would be in our strongest 23 if everyone was available.

We are so weak in the wide positions. Johnny Hayes is anothe option on the left. He has been very unlucky not to get more caps, especially when you consider O'Dowda has 22

Micheal Duffy was called up but his papers didn't go through, apparently.

Although Jack Taylor and Aaron McEneff were called up I can't see them being called up again, maybe Taylor at a later stage.

So he kept me soul for ransom.

What did Mick say about him after he was injured in the Denmark game? Something like: Judgey, if he has any luck it is hard luck.

Away you go Arnie.  My consortium will take those chains off you tomorrow if you call over to Nelson MAndela House around lunchtime.  Give my regards to young Gary and Steven.

Everything points towards moving towards a 352. Almost all of our defensive players play it at club level, and it would fix most of our main issues:

We have good full backs but poor wingers
We have no creativity in midfield but plenty of legs
We have goal-shy strikers playing up front on their own.

You could play something like the following, which would be pretty balanced all over the pitch:
Randolph
Coleman Egan Clark
Doherty                         Stevens
McCarthy Molumby Hendrick
Long Connolly


Players like O'Shea, Williams could play in the wide CB positions also. I have Hendrick in midfield for his energy, but you could play Byrne there, at least against weaker teams. I left Long in up front as for all his faults, im still not sure any of the alternatives are better, at least for now.

Also this team wouldnt include Duffy and McClean - two great players for us under the last two managers but they really don't fit a possession style - especially Duffy, who is holding us back a lot at the moment. He plays around 5-10 yards behind the rest of the defence, and most teams let him have the ball as they know his distribution isnt good enough.

Disclaimer: We won't do any of the above  - Kenny loves his wingers.

I like that system and think it would suit us best. Seems pretty clear that 4-3-3 doesn't (at least so far)

so, while I don’t think we’ll see a switch to 3-5-2, I do think that Kenny will start to flex the 4-3-3 system more. In the past he has declared admiration for the way that Italian teams play a lop-sided back 4, where only one full back pushed up (way up) to support attacks and the other tucks in to provide cover. Coleman played the tucked in role with Ancelloti’s Everton last season.

I think he has been nibbling around that approach with Ireland. He’s already discussed using Doherty in midfield, and v Bulgaria he had pushed O’Shea way up on the right.

With our full complement of players, that approach would have us defending like this (example line up)

              Randolph
Coleman Duffy Egan Stevens
     Doherty McCarthy Brady
      Horgan Idah Connolly

And attacking like this (with Stevens pushed way up and Doherty wide on the right supporting Horgan) and more bodies in the box.

                   Randolph
         Coleman Duffy Egan
Doherty McCarthy Brady Stevens
           Horgan Idah Connolly

Coleman excels at that sweeping up role when we commit a lot of players forward (think corners and free kicks) and he would give us the pace at the back that we don’t have when we are overcommitted in attack
You asked if I'd be anyone from history, fact or fiction, dead or alive:
I said "I'd be Tony Cascarino, circa 1995"

Idah is nowhere near the level required.

It'll be interesting to see how Parrot plays for Millwall between now and March.
