The defence are certainly looking a lot more solid of late. Good to see.

Not only do we look solid in defence, but we've got options aplenty at centre half and look good regardless of who starts.
Duffy, Egan, O'Shea, Collins, Omobamidele, Clark for starters who are all Premier League/top end Championship defenders and then you've got the likes of Jimmy Dunne, Mark McGuinness, Darragh Lenihan playing regularly too. Kevin Long would also do a job if ever needed. I wouldn't be writing off the likes of Scales or O'Hora either. We don't need to worry about defenders for another 10-12 years which is a great complaint to have.

So we've gone from facing being embarrassed by Portugal home and away, to being embarrassed at taking a point against them. Which is the least we deserved from the two games. It wasn't edge of the seat excitement, but dead rubbers at the end of a campaign rarely are. It is 1 loss in 9 games, 5 games unbeaten, and 3 consecutive clean sheets on the bounce. Of course, to those who want him gone, those significant details don't count. The goalposts have now shifted to the next "must-win" referendum tomorrow. While the wider world is busy watching the real must win game in the group, where the losers will probably be joining Luxembourg and us on the also rans couch next year. |
