Good info. And it's exactly why Kenny will need a long time to sort his team out. It's the worst squad I can ever remember for a WC

I often think we were very quick to use the "sum total is better than the individual parts mantra" to describe the Irish team, but here, on paper, I think that would be a debatable suggestion. In several positions we have no obvious candidate due to the lack of playing time, we have no outstanding player, we have one player with obvious leadership qualities, four of our PL players are playing in two of the poorest sides ever to play in the PL, nobody playing in the current Top 4, and one player currently playing in European Club football. Combine that with the age of some players, the lack of form, and the injuries, and there is genuine concern that it will effectively bounce management into picking a side the side that will represent a massive regression, or else a side that that just doesn't have the abilities to compete.

Browne has had terrible luck with injures in international windows. Being played out of position most weeks too for Preston doesn’t help his cause. He was good against Slovakia so could well feature in Serbia.

Darren Randolph has probably been our best player in the last 2 yrs and I’d have him as my number 1 . Kelleher’s time will come but it’s not now.

I'd agree randolph has been our best player, not because he's made some world class saves or anything, just because... who else can you give it to. I'd go for the below but I can't image any team we put out would stike fear Randolph Coleman Clark oshea Stevens Mccarthy Cullen Hendrick Doherty Connolly knight

O Dowda back training with Bristol so he could end up being fit for the games yet according to RTÉ reports.

You would have FYP’S that makes more pleasant reading that that. But fair play to you some work went into it. The content is sobering the only positive thing is this World Cup is Qatar can’t imagine it would be much craic

I think Wales lost 6-1 away to Serbia near the start of the Coleman era, in some ways Kenny's first few games have reminded me of Wales back then.
I have a very bad feeling about this one, but I'd take a similar turn around in the years to come. Edited by Maccatacca - 01 Mar 2021 at 7:33pm |

I think we'll get the difficult period alright, and we might even get the turnaround eventually, but I'd be surprised if Kenny was still there to oversee the latter.

Kenny pretty much being asked to polish a turd. Best he can do is lay some solid foundations and bleed in some of the younger players with one eye on the euros. The fact that the FAI can't afford chips at the moment means he may last that long

Yeah hard to be too optimistic going into the game against Serbia. Players generally in poor form, severely lacking someone who can score a goal, already a few injuries piling up and still another 3 weeks to go. All this coupled with Kennys bad start and the fact we have been brutal for 4 years now, not being able to go to games or even go to a pub to watch.
