XI vs Malta:

Johnston------Ferguson------Obafemi

McGrath------Smallbone

Cullen

McClean------Lenihan-----Egan-----Collins

Bazunu

Kenny surely can't start O'Dowda after last night, so McClean should start his 100th game in an Irish shirt. Doherty is suspended. Collins and O'Shea have played at RB at club level. Knight has too this season.

I'd switch to 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1.

Kenny probably won't change formation, but he really should. If he continues to play with wing backs, then Sykes might start at RWB.

Johnston deserves a start. That front three could cause Gibraltar problems.


Think he'll stick with the 3 at the back, I'd go with

Kelleher

Collins Egan O'Shea
Sykes Mc Clean
Cullen
Knight Smallbone

Ferguson Obafemi

Probably worthwhile getting Jimmy Mac's 100th cap put to bed now, as he may be playing LI come the new season. I'd seriously consider Jack Taylor over Cullen given his performance last night, but probably too risky. If we can get a decent lead in the game, we should be trying to give as many lads (who let's not forget have given up 4 to 6 weeks of their summer) as we can, at least a little game time.

Bazunu doesn't deserve to be dropped or rested.

I agree that Kenny will likely not do anything drastic formation wise.

Baz was excellent last night, but my view is that performance cements his #1 status and he can now relax for the summer and get his head right for the new campaign. GK likely wont have much to do on Monday and tbf to Kelleher (and Travers), they have given up half their holliers  - Ideal time to give one a game imo not that I care too much either way.

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