We might see a few dropouts and callups between now and this game but, based on the current squad, I'd like to see something along the lines of: Kelleher Collins Omobamidele Egan Doherty Stevens Cullen Knight McGrath Robinson Connolly The big win tonight takes the pressure off this window and means the result of this game is largely meaningless, so definitely a chance to change things up a bit and see what other options we have. That team I've picked there only includes five starters from tonight and still looks strong, which is encouraging. I'd like to see Collins start for his debut and hopefully see Scales and Keane come in at some stage as well. Maybe see more of Ogbene too. Still would want to keep the the spine of the first team in place though to keep it meaningful rather than just playing all the second choice lads, so I'd like to see one of Duffy or Egan as well as Doherty, Cullen and Robinson starting again if they're all fit and available.

Like this but would have Egan for scales, wouldn't mind seeing more of ogbene too. Idah really needs a goal if he's gonna be our main man up too but yes this fixture might aswell give parrot Collins and keane a go ------------- Whacha gonna do |

There are enough lads already in the squad to be tried on Tuesday. Kelleher, Keane, Scales and (Nathan) Collins. Parrot, Ogbene deserve starts. Absolutely no need to call up anyone else.

| Would be happy with the team in the opening post. Agreed that the pressure is off so we can try out a few lads who haven't had much of a chance but would be good to get a positive result too. Personally would like to see Scales play as I feel left back is an area we need to try someone new for the future. |

Expecting Browne & Molumby to join up with the squad for this. I'd go: Parrott Robinson Knight Stevens Cullen Browne Doherty Egan Duffy N.Collins Kelleher Idah & Connolly aren't match fit, so Parrott gets the nod for me. If Knight isn't ready to start then move Browne to the 10, and start Molumby beside Cullen.

Both were suspended yeah. Browne is currently on holidays with his family in Italy and still semi recovering from his injury, I imagine he will be let rest for a meaningless friendly. Molumby is back in Dublin at the moment so he will probably link up with the squad.

I see a lot of people recently taking about Qatar like they're minnows, comparing them to Andorra & Oman (*cough* Brian Kerr *cough*), Qatar are a better side than us. This isn't a friendly for them, they aren't just here to give their lads a run out, they're taking this seriously for the WC. We want to try to win this game & build momentum off the win tonight, that back line you listed will get torn apart, far too inexperienced. I also don't see Knight as a CM right now, he's far better as an AM, preferably on the right as his crossing is very good.

It depends who drops out, if anyone. If nobody drops out then there's no need to call anyone up, but if a few drop out there will presumably be call ups, even just to train with the squad and sit on the bench.

Richie Sadlier made the point that the team needs to kick on and win this one in decent style as well. The team can't just slump back to a 0-0 or a 1-1 or whatever. It needs to show that it is actually improving and knows how to win matches and score goals (consistently).

It is but I don't know that a win, draw or loss in this game will do anything to tip the balance either way, short of dishing out or receiving a hammering. The last two group games are the key ones. One win and two good performances needed in those.

Momentum. Winning is a habit, as they say. Having 2 wins going into November is much better than 1, much better for Kenny's case to stay on. A win always looks better than loss on the record, even if it's a friendly.

Hopeful that tonight’s performance really makes some of those on the edge of the Xi step up for this one. Robinson scoring a couple tonight will add a nice bit of pressure to the other forward line to contribute and Ogbene too. Idah desperately needs a goal but I hope to see Troy start and Connolly. ------------- YBIG Table Quiz winner 2016 & 2017 AS YOU WERE McGx |

Need to use this came wisely to build on tonights result. If we're to persist with the 3-4-2-1 formation we need to find alternatives that suit the system. 3 CB's, 2 CM's and 2 WB's pretty much pick themselves but we could do with looking at the LWB alternatives between Stevens, Scales and Manning (I know hes out for this game) and also that 4th back up spot for CB in the event of injury i.e Collins. Otherwise that part of the time is fine. Forward options is where the real issue lies. We need to the find the right combinations and balance of player for the 2 in behind the centre forward as well as the CF. We looked OK with Idah as the target man / holder upper of the ball to bring Horgan and Robinson into play earlier but they were a poor combo together. Worked far better in the second half with McGrath. Id like to see Parrott or Keane tried instead beside McGrath with Robinson as the leading CF. Id also like to see Connolly given a chance at CF and not out wide. Bazunu Collins Duffy Egan Doherty Cullen Hendrick Stevens McGrath Parrott/Keane Robinson |

I don't see the point in starting Kelleher in this, Bazunu is our #1 and he should play as many games as possible at his age. Qatar will be taking this very seriously, as should we. We can't afford to not play our strongest team, momentum is too important to waste.

Kenny made that mistake not playing one of them and playing Randolph in every game in the build up to the Serbia game. It cost us a result with Travers going in cold and getting stage fright. Kelleher should absolutely be starting the Qatar game. He most certainly isn't a downgrade on Bazunu.

Definitely start Kelleher for Qatar. For a number of reasons - because he needs games, because he's a real prospect and we can do better than just cast him aside a number 2 keeper and never play him. But mainly because he almost certainly is number 2 which means it only takes a Bazunu knock or a sending off and he'll be thrown straight in there, so any chance to give him game time along side a decent number of our first team players should be taken. I thought he was excellent against Hungary and I'm looking forward to seeing more of him.

Agree with a lot of that, I think LWB, one of the central midfield spots and one or two of the forward positions are the jerseys up for grabs. Stevens is probably our best LWB but it feels he hasn't had a good game for us in a while, I absolutely do not want to see McClean start v Qatar despite having a decent game last night - Stevens or Scales for me. Not much else we can try in central midfield with Knight, Browne and Molumby all out but you'd imagine all of them will be competing with Hendrick for that position. Maybe Knight will be back for Tuesday, in that case I would start him. Front 3 we have lots of options but aside FROM Robinson nobody was really grabbed it. Idah and McGrath have done well but the likes of Parrott or Connolly could be improvements if they were given more of a chance. Kelleher should absolutely start this game, yes Bazunu is deservedly our number one for the moment but both keepers have huge potential, it would be wrong and unfair to Kelleher to label him as backup already, they will both be competing for the starting spot for the next 10+ years.

So you won't come to support Ireland because of who they're playing? that's a new one.. I presume you also didn't watch the game against Saudi Arabia in 2002, and that you boycotted friendlies against the imperial aggressors USA and England.. I imagine you also boycotted our games against France as a result of their treatment of muslim women.. I'm amazed you get to watch a match at all... I think most people would say that supporters would either attend or watch the games of the team they support..

Stick with the 3-4-2-1 1) Kelleher - Every bit as big a prospect as Bazunu, deserves a start, shouldnt weaken us at all 2) Doherty - Needs game time given lack of minutes at club level. Christie the only option 3) Stevens - Mc Clean justified his selection, but worth giving Enda a runout, shouldnt weaken us 4) N. Collins - Omabamidele gave an assured performance, but Collins deserves a spin out 5) Duffy 6) Egan - Stick with the two stalwarts 7) ??????? - I'd probably rest Cullen, he's cemented his place, but we should have a look at options 8) Hendrick - I'd give Jeff another spin, needs the game time 9) Parrott/Keane/Collins - Give Idah a rest and let's see do we have anyone else that can play that #9 role 10) Robinson (Connolly) - Give Aaron a 30 minute run out 2nd half 11) Mc Grath (Ogbene) - Mc Grath deserves a start, give Ogbene another spin off the bench ------------- Idah Dream! |

Kelleher and Collins are the obvious two I'd like to see. Kelleher just as much a prospect as Bazunu and we should have another new cap in Collins touchwood especially as an injury to Omobamidele Egan Duffy in the meantime he will have to be thrown in. Id also love to see Scales given a run out at LWB. McClean was good Saturday credit where it's due but football didn't start Saturday he's still been a liability in recent games coming on against Portugal and Azerbaijan at home chief. Stevens hasn't kicked a ball under Kenny been very poor fair if others think he deserves a run out but I'd love to see fresh blood in this position with a long term view (Euro qualifiers). Scales and Bagan are that obvious fresh blood. Finally give Keane a run from the start. That might contradict the view above but Collins unless he's coming off the bench ain't it. We have no Idah type target man. Also as we need goals Im not as bothered about taking a short term view with attackers (Robinson Keane). Parrott Connolly and Idah could and possibly will all be better then the two above in time. I'd leave Parrott with the 21s just to give them a bit of star quality. Kelleher Collins Duffy Egan Doherty. Scales Cullen Knight McGrath Keane Robinson |

I wouldn't change a lot. Try to tweak the team for the next qualifier. Knight if fit instead of Hendrick. I would stick with Idah to try and get him off the mark. He was poor the last day. Looked like he lacked energy and that can often happen if you are recovering from a fever. he was reactive rather than proactive on the pitch and his hold up play was terrible. Someone instead of Horgan. He was terrible on Saturday. If Stevens is an option instead of Mcclean i would try him also. (Mclean was vg on Saturday) Really think we need to bed down our team at this stage. Second half we can throw on the subs. ------------- It's not me it's you:-) |

Important to see if N. Collins is up to it, he's next in line with O'Shea out, if anything happens to the 3 currently in possession. I'd have given Manning a run at LWB, just to have a look, but I think I'd wait with Scales until he gets some first team minutes at Celtic under his belt. Kelleher must start also and I'd like to see Knight get a run out as one of the two in CM either for Cullen (could be due a rest) or Hendrick (might benefit from another run out). We still haven't seen him play there for Ireland and I want to see if he has the tactical discipline to play there, as I dont trust Molumby there at all and the other options like Hourihane and Arter aren't inspiring. I think we also have to look at another option for Idah in the #9 position. It would be nice to win the game, but there are a few areas of the pitch where we need to have a look at the options available. Who knows who will be available come November? e.g. If Cullen or Idah were out for that one, it's unclear to me who would replace them, now is the time to have a look. The result in this game is secondary imo, but obviously a win would be most welcome so there is a balance, but imo at a minimum, Kelleher, N. Collins and Knight (in the CM 2) should definitely start and we should also have a look at somebody else in Idah's position, probably either Keane or Parrott as I think we know what Collins offers. ------------- Idah Dream! |

I do think your point re dropping Parrott down to the U-21s for the next window has some merit tbh. We had 9 or 10 lads in this squad vying for the front 3 positions this time around - Knight, Mc Grath, Horgan, Ogbene, Collins, Keane, Idah, Parrott, Connolly, Robinson (you could even throw Mc Clean in there). That's too many imo especially in a 2 game window. The U21s next window is critical - Sweden and Italy both at home and they sorely lack a striker despite looking pretty competitive elsewhere on the pitch. If everyone else is fit for the seniors and he's not planning on playing Parrott vs Portugal/Luxembourg, then I think it would be reasonable to give him a couple of starts in what will be competitive games (particularly if the U21s can beat Montenegro away tmw). I'm not picking on Parrott at all btw, it's just that he's the youngest, looks to still be a bit off a starting position in the senior team and he might not take it as an insult if it was explained clearly to him. ------------- Idah Dream! |

I wouldn't be making a huge amount of changes to the team tbh. Some of them could do with the minutes, and it would disrupt the momentum that has been built. It's a friendly, but maintaining the momentum will be important. I'd be more in favour of the likes of Collins, Connolly, Keane, etc coming on later in the game, rather than being thrown in from the start. ------------- Jimmy Bullard - "Favorite band? Elastic." |

25,000 is great but it has to be admitted that the pricing has a lot to do with it. 10e for Adults and 5e for kids in the pre-sale is great value for money for any international.

It's also so important we get fans interested in the international team again, there are the hard-core fans on this forum that will support through tough times but keeping young lads involved is essential. We're scoring goals again despite not having a recognised forward which helps a lot. There was a time when it was a set piece or nothing. We're also ticking some boxes in various positions. Goalkeeper competition looks stronger than ever. Central defence looks solid for years. Just need to work on midfield and forward now |

i think our 2 in midfield are getting exposed. our wide forwards are not filtering back well enough to give us protection when we dont have the ball. Is the answer having an extra midfielder from the start and just 2 up top or stick to current formation but try and get the wide players to help out more ------------- It's not me it's you:-) |

I think 343 works well. Its effectively a back 5 with a holding pair and a fluid three attacking players so without the ball we can have banks of 5. Robinson Ogbene Connolly would be a very mobile 3. We have an issue with the 2 CMs being isolated in midfield. And then were over run. |

Dont know why people are getting so misty eyed about Mick or MON. The squad selection and tactics were caveman like, the results poor and no one was watching. Kenny has done away with all that given a few kids their chances and gotten us playing a much better style. If we'd been playing Azerbajan under Mick we would have been outplayed the entire match with Glen Whelan in the middle and probably drawn 0-0. I for one am relieved we have left all that behind us.

This is where Jason Knight was missed the other night. Think it would have been him and Robinson that would have started behind Idah. Not sure where he'll start tonight thought with Cullen out. Play him in that advanced role and you're looking at a midfield two of Hendrick and Hourihane *shudders* |
