Wondering what line up we’ll see today.

Perhaps ..
                      Maher
O’Connor Omabamidele Lewis Flynn

          Watson Noss Connell

    Wright       Afolabi          Ferry

Not bad considering the amount of players out injured or in the senior squad
You asked if I'd be anyone from history, fact or fiction, dead or alive:
I said "I'd be Tony Cascarino, circa 1995"

Kayode
Kilkenny   Noss Afolabi
   Connell Watson
Flynn McGuinness McEntee O'Connor
  Maher

At a guess? Have to confess I don't know a huge amount about half the lads in the squad. Coventry really is a huge loss to them, other than O'Connor there really isn't much experience at this level. A very young squad as well with plenty of 18/19 year olds.

Kayode is injured I think

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

Ah, Afolabi up top it is then, probably go for Ferry on the wing. Think Noss can play up front as well?

Yea I think that’s pretty much the exact team I’d go for then although can’t say I’ve seen many of them play!

But nothing really...he's tired?
All he had to do was spin up the motorway and join up and do a few training sessions.

I have to say, I am getting quite nervous about it.
His links with Ireland are obviously very strong but he is also apparently very determined as we have seen with him leaving good clubs to try and progress his career and his old coaches have said he is so focused on being the best so if this is mindset and he wants to be very successful I just fear with being eligible for England now is there a potential that his head gets turned.

He's recently followed both the FA and Nigerian FA on his social media - and doesn't follow the FAI at all. I realise its deeply pathetic to look into these things...but there you go. You'd imagine he is (at least thinking about) jumping ship.

We need to give odubeko some benefit of the doubt. Come the competitive u21 games if he feels he doesn't want to play then we can draw a line under it.

Would be quite a thing if England field Odubeko, Grealish, Rice and Keane all in the same team. All of which have played in the green..

Id say wait and see as poster above said, but I think if goes anywhere its to Nigeria imo and if he does fair play to him, he is Irish Nigerian so cant complain even though id be sick as he looks the goods so far.

Exciting attacking team.
No idea of the formation but assume Afolabi thru the centre with Ferry one side.
Don't know who the other winger woudl be but imagine Connell and Watson midfield anyway.
Noss advanced mid maybe with Gilbert wide?  Or vice versa.

O'Malley gets in ahead of Flynn at LB.  I suppose he is playing regularly, albeit at a lower level.

Kilkenny not in is a surprise.
Thought he'd feature wide right.  A good sub if needed.

Should be an interesting test. We'll be starting games 7 players uncapped at this level, I believe Wales will be a whole new team.

Have never seen some of them play such a noss so it'll be a good watch.

Here's the YouTube link to watch the game https://t.co/FjwYDif3dy?amp=1
