This has been asked and answered many times....he shows up every time he is called and puts in a shift. He'll be dropping back to the 19's next week so fair play to him. |

Knock on effect of Moran's promotion sees Adam Murphy moved up from the U19s.

Should of promoted Vata. Murphy was very poor in the game he started a few months back. He's likely guaranteed minutes with Crawfords LOI agenda though.

Aye, I want impressed with Murphy in his previous U21 appearance, it definitely weakens the U21 panel. The dropped McJannet and/or the likes of Henry-Francis were two others that maybe could/should have come in for consideration?

I'm probably stirring it a bit with this one, but I wonder if the fact that we're playing Albania, is the reason Vata is being kept with the U19's.... that's my conspiracy theorist mind playing up lol Edited by Howdo - 14 Nov 2023 at 12:55pm |

Crawford will likely play 5-4-1 in both games. Probably more to do with someone like Vata not seeing many minutes. With Okoflex and Gilsenan in the squad it was probably best letting Vata start and be the main player for the U19s. Feel it was similar thinking with Moran. Likely not gonna play minutes against the Dutch so stay with the U21s for Norway at a minimum. Though that's changed now with a few senior players possible doubts. |

"LOI agenda". Hilarious :) Murphy last seen playing in front of 40k people in a Cup Final, Vata playing against Broomhill in the Scottish lowland league. Murphy is there on merit. You'd would probably agree if you have seen him play a few times this season. That said I agree he was poor last time he played for the 21s but he wasn't the only one in that game that was poor & deserves another chance.

With no Moran it will be interesting to see what he does. Springett has played himself into a starting position and it was hard to see how Crawford would have fitted both him and Moran into a starting XI while also using three CBs.

Almost certain I read yesterday that Springnet is a massive doubt

We played both last day and didn't use 3 CBs as we haven't done yet this campaign, as best as I recall. Used a 4-3-3 with Moran as the most advanced midfielder, with Hodge and Healy behind. Springett and Okoflex the wingers both sides of Armstrong. I'd say he'll go the same bar Gilsenan, Philipps or Leavy instead of Moran. The latter two will give the middle more graft. Leavy would be my guess. Edited by Fozz - 17 Nov 2023 at 12:48pm |

Think we played 5 at the back for the opener vs Turkey, but I wouldnt be sure we will tonight. Hodge is injured. If he goes with 4 it will likely be something like the following. If he goes with 5, throw O'Riordon (or Grehan) in for Gilsenan (or one of Springett/Okoflex). Keeley Curtis Roughan Lawal McNulty Adeeko Phillips Gilsenan Springett (O'Neill and Emakhu are the options if Tony is ruled out) Okoflex Armstrong

We played five at the back at home to Turkey. Stephen Kenny getting a new contract would shock me less than Crawford going to Norway and playing four at the back. |

Hopefully not as he's been one of the stand out players so far if not our best player imo. |
