Cant see a match thread for this....
The Kenny era starts in earnest on Sunday as far as I'm concerned. The previous two NL matches were used as preparation for tonight. He needs to use the next 4 to prepare for the world cup.
Given the shift the lads put jn there tonight and all the travelling involved, I'd suspect chances. Byrne should start along with Cullen for starters

were going to be tanked in this, morale at an all time low but i do agree these last 4 NL games should be used to rebuild. Big Issue is relagation to league C but is that a bad thing with us relying on underage talent ?

Morale isn't at an all time low though. Tonight was a kick in the nags but it was a platform to build on. Kenny gets a full week with the team now too

looking forward to it. Enjoyed the game in a lot of ways tonight but there was so much on the line it was so nerve wracking.
Wales will be a stronger side than Slovakia so let’s see if we can keep going.
Connolly will hopefully be able to get tested and cleared in advance

its always going to be a lingering thought about not qualfying for the euros esp with us hosting 4 games. Lets hope its cancelled
Sunday is the true start of the Kenny era, any player who feels they dont want to commit should retire from International duty

I'm certainly looking forward to it. Let's see some new faces and these games are free as far as I am concerned. No panic if we are relegated to Group C.
Tonight was a watershed moment - we went away from home and played like we were a goal down when we weren't. The result is heartbreaking for sure. Good times are coming.

I agree that nations league 3 days after such disappointment, with no fans is not very appealing. Lets hope whoever lines out puts in a decent shift.
I would agree with previous post on Cullen and Byrne. Assume McCarthy be injured still. Connolly and Idah?

Or we could use the match as the turning point after a bad few years. Start Molumby, Cullen and Browne in midfield, Idah and Connolly alongside McGoldrick up top. Make a statement that it's time for change and the change starts here.

Brady was so poor last night that he should have been taken off, after being subbed on.
He hasnt had a good game in four years for Ireland. He doesnt play at club level. He hasnt played more than 20 games in a season since 2016/2017. Either through injury or poor form.
His attitude, particularly around the qualification campaign for World Cup 2018 was nothing short of a disgrace, as he would turn in stinker after stinker and throw stops on the pitch.
Even the likes of Ronan Curtis would offer more.

Some crap been spouted, Brady done well and was involved in McGoldricls chance when keeper tipped it over bar and also played a nice ball into O'Dowda when Browne hit post.

Brady hasn't played on the left hand side in those four years and has also been blighted with injury. I cannot understand why so many managers continue to play him out of position. One of the best features of his game is his crossing, which is completely nullified by playing him through the middle or on the right. He often, inevitably, looks lost.
There was a case for taking him off, but he also had some moments, such as his involvement in Browne's chance, and he is our best set-piece taker still.

Have to try looking forward to this otherwise I'll keep thinking of last nights disappointment. Might be hard to get the players motivated for this as well. Would he rotate any of the players? Maybe Shane Long for McGoldrick?
If we played the same way as last night I'd be happy, just getting a goal I'd be happier.

The Tournament in Iceland many moons ago was used as a launch pad for the rest of the Jack reign. He got his ideas across to the players and they were left in no doubt what was expected of them. I believe these few days will be crucial for team spirit and bonding the group and the manager etc. it will also be used to ha e the odd player step in I don’t expect McCarthy to start bad I think Molumby Byrne and Browne will get starts over the next two games.
This is the quiet tactical and other work that will be done behind the scenes to bring greater cohesion to the group that will hopefully will prove so valuable by the time of the WC qualifiers come along.
Slovakia is parked and euros is parked. Kenny will move on now to getting performances and hopefully results ahead of the WC campaign.

Difficult to look forward to Sunday after last night and I'd imagine the players are the same.
Likely we might see a few changes, none of us want to be relegated to league c but its likely we'll experiment for the rest of the nations league I think, so that Kenny can find something that works for WC qualifying.
If we did go to league c there might be a few decent away trips (if we're allowed to go)

I'm eager for the match on Sunday. Eager for all Ireland matches these days being honest.
Gutted after last night but were loads of positives and let's just build on that, starting by scoring a goal from play v Wales.Big hope I know.
I am hoping we see a few changes and McCarthy will be a forced one. I'd like to see Molumby, Idah and Connolly all start and will be surprised if at least two of those three don't start unless the two lads are stuck quarantining.
Maybe give O'Shea a run out also. And Cullen. And certainly Byrne.
Then again, these two matches are key for seeding so can't go mad at the same time.
Onwards and upwards, lads.

Loads of blanket statements flying around. I've missed two competitive games in around 4 years due to being working on the other side of the world. And while there I was getting up in the middle of the night to watch all games. And I'll still say that I'm struggling to get my interest up for Sunday after last night.

Not just on here, I know of many personally. Their first love is a British football team that they've only seen live in person a handful of times in the last decade (if at all!). Their interest in the Irish Team is piqued every few years when we play one of the big boys or qualify for a major tournament, when they're more than happy to hop on the bandwagon. In meantime they bash us with their uneducated footballing views, not being able to comprehend the reasons why the Irish team don't play like Liverpool. Football is a netflix programme to these people.

Ya It will be good to see Jack Byrne get a chance in the next week at the slightly higher level of the nations league some people think he’s not good enough for. The next two games should tell us something on that front . I think he can step up

Result isn't too important in this one, but I want to see us maintain some consistency in the starting eleven.
Our goalkeeping options are pretty poor outside of Randolph, so I would give Travers a game just to have a look at him, I wouldn't be handing out caps to players like Christie who won't get in ahead of Doherty, Coleman or O'Shea in the future.
I presume that McGoldrick, McCarthy and Hourihane don't have the legs to start this game.
Hopefully see something like: Travers, Doherty, Duffy, Egan, Stevens, Cullen, Molumby, Hendrick, Brady (LW) Robinson (ST) O'Dowda (RW).

I presume that McGoldrick, McCarthy and Hourihane don't have the legs to start this game.
Hopefully see something like: Travers, Doherty, Duffy, Egan, Stevens, Cullen, Molumby, Hendrick, Brady (LW) Robinson (ST) O'Dowda (RW). |
The result will have a direct impact on our ranking and therefore seeding for the world cup draw. |
I take it that our recent poor results have already more or less resigned us to the third pot.

See a few calls here for Christie to start unless the DOC is injured he should play.
I'd go with Randolph , DOC, Duffy, Egan, Stevens, Cullen, Molumby, Byrne, Robinson, McGoldrick, O'Dowda

Ehhh, maybe I off my head on this but I don’t think Christie would have played worst than Doherty vs slovakia. He’s an ok player. Doherty should step down for a game.

No - Our draw last night combined with Romania losing has us back in the last Pot 2 position

Apologies.
I presume Kenny is aware of this as opposed to the likes of O'Neill and McCarthy not having a clue.
Would drawing our remaining three games give us any chance of remaining in Pot 2?

i don't think doherty will play all 3 games so i think it makes more sense to put christie in for this one and go pretty much full strength for finland. agree with wanting to see cullen, molumby, COD start

Oh FFS...Doherty had a decent game last night, particularly in the second half and extra time. He's an infinitely better player than Christie. Christie has done well for us in the past but he's an average championship player at best. If we're building to the future, were not going to learn anything by playing him. DOC will be an important player for us over the next 5 years. Play him or one of the younger lads

I do think Maguire gets a lot of unfair criticism and people have judged him a bit too much prematurely imo in that he isn't international class. Any of his finishes that I've seen in the Championship which is a decent level were excellent.
I'd like to see him given a go under Kenny though he is down in the pecking order of strikers.
International class or not he'd have buried Hourihane's sitter last night.

Depends on the level, If someone scores loads of goals at a low level doesn’t mean they can do it at international level.
If that’s the case we just call up the top scorer in the Loi every year
Maguire scores 38 goals over two seasons so he knows where the net is too. Point is that at a higher level you don’t get the chance or if you do it’s blocked or saved or you are under pressure. Collins doesn’t have the ability to play for us.

Well his level is league 1 and league 2 and there is many who have played for us at that level.
He did ok last season in the championship with Luton. His touch is shocking and lacks pace. He is not up to the standard of playing for Ireland.
There are loads of people who know where the net is but if you are playing at the level he has largely been plying his trade it is far easier to score than it is as international level.
