That would be a huge mistake, Coleman is terrible there. Luckily I dont see SK doing that. Barring injury it will be Collins/Egan/O'Shea imo.

Has SK ever played Doherty at LWB?

Zero chance Sykes starts vs France imo. He will hopefully get mins vs Latvia so we can get another look at him, but he doesnt really suit the way the Irish team is set up currently.

I'd agree that blaming Mc Clean in isolation is entirely unfair, but I think it's fair to say that defending isnt the strongest area of his game. However, it aint the strong suit of Manning, Brady or O'Dowda either and at least Jimmy gets the crowd up and puts it all in. I think he has a fair chance of starting vs France, certainly ahead of the 3 I've just listed, but it may be Doherty who gets the nod at LWB with Coleman playing at RWB.

I remember at least once vs Portugal away, where Doherty and Connolly linked up really well down the LHS, in fact all our threat came down that left flank in the game and Connolly was taken out by Cancelo when about to score. Doherty was excellent in that game!

According to some Aletico accounts, Doherty is going to start at the weekend. Don't know how much truth is behind it though. Be great to see him get some minutes regardless.

Absolutely, even a couple of starts over the next 3 weeks would be great for him and us. He's a damn good player, think he was poorly treated at Spurs under Conte tbh. Looked every bit as good, if not better than the competition there any time I saw him play for them. Against France, we will need our best players on the pitch and to my mind he is one of them. First name on the teamsheet for me, regardless of his game time at Atletico.

Im not too sure we'll set up like we have been against France, 3-5-2 would leave us fairly open especially with a front 2 who wouldn't see much of the ball. I reckon we'll go back to a 3-4-2-1 shape as we did against Portugal home/away and Serbia home. Sykes or McGrath would fit into one of the 2 behind the lone striker. Can see either Idah reclaiming that role up front or Ferguson being thrown in. Someone strong and physical that can hold up the ball up well enough.

Changing his entire formation to avoid having to play him isn't a great sign alright.

I know Coleman's in a bit of form now but would like to see Danny McNamara called up and given 45 mins against Latvia

You're right, JR. McNamara is having an excellent season at Millwall - a team with good play-off possibilities. It's a bit like Manning really - both have been excellent Championship players and should be in our match-day squads. It must gall them that Parrott is a walk-up Kenny favourite despite being a three-time Championship failure.

If they ever manage 4 goals and 2 assists in 750 minutes of international football, maybe they'll be in a position to complain.

We're decent enough..

Seems a bit of an unfair demand to make of two wing backs, one of which has never been given a chance to show what he can do in the senior squad.

Yeah Brick, we can't bring in a full back/wing back unless they have 4 goals and 2 assists for their country!
