Here's mine:
                                Given

Coleman   St.Ledger (if fit)   O'Shea      Ward

McGeady      Whelan          Fahey          Hunt

                    Keane           Long

Coleman needs to start playing regularly in the bigger games. He is more than capable and the only way to maximise his potential is to start playing him in games like this. McGeady has improved an awful lot since moving to Russia and is now one of our most dangerous players. The two of these, therefore, must play in my opinion. I don't go along with the idea that Coleman can't play right - people probably aren't used to seeing him there but it's actually his natural position.

Hunt looked good when he played last week and should play in Duff's absence. I would have Fahey in ahead of Andrews because he brings much lot more energy to centre mid than Andrews does, so he complements Whelan a lot better.




I would love this team as well but lets be realistic!! I think we all know what team is going to be picked!

                                                   Given

McShane        Sledge(O'Dea if he doesn't make it)   O'Shea           Kilbane

McGeady        Andrews                Whelan(if fit)  Hunt

                          Keane               Long

I'm a huge fan of Kevin Kilbane. I'd point to him as an example to young kids regarding how a player should behave and conduct himself. But I am really frightened for him on Saturday night. He has lost his pace and has had a very long hard season. I don't think Trap will be doing anybody any favours, especially Kevin, if he selects him on Saturday.

                    Given
Foley. O'Dea   St Ledger. O'Shea
Coleman. Whelan. Andrews. McGeady
                             Keane
                            Long

This is the team I'd like to see, but I would suspect Trap will go with something like the team that C O'Donnell suggested.

I really don't fancy Ward at all. I'd even put Kilbane in ahead of him. He didn't even look secure in either of the two games he played in against weak oppositiono

My prefered team would be
 
Given
Kelly--O'Dea--O'Shea--Ward
McGeady--Whelan--Andrews--Hunt
Long--Keane
 
But I think he'll go McShane at RB, Kilbane at LB

Sledge, why is he nailed on to start at RB? Something i dont know?
He started against the North in midfield and only got a sub run out against the Scots?

No just my opinion on analysing Traps tactics over the past couple of years. Foley started the home game against the same opposition and did reasonably well. Trap won t risk changing something that he know works especially seeing as he is missing his most experienced and trusted defender for the game.
 
In the Carling Cuo, I felt he was trying to give some of the starters for Macedonia a break where he could. Examples of this would be Hunty not starting the first game and Keane being taking off twice. One place we have lots of cover is right full so thats why i feel Foley was givin some rest time after a hard slog in mid-field against the North rather than it being that he was dropped for McShane.
 
But again just my opinion McG and i ve been known to be wrong before!!

Trapattoni has indicated that veteran Kevin Kilbane will come in for Stephen Ward at left-back. Paul McShane, Kevin Foley and Stephen Kelly are competing for the right-back slot.

"It's an away game and we need experience," said Trapattoni. "They look for corners and free-kicks and are dangerous in that situation. We must pay attention to these details."

 
Killer all the way as expected!

Killer had one of his best games for Ireland in his most recent game. Those vying to come in haven't done THAT much to dislodge him.

Yup - fully agree with this selection! Two solid lads in the middle just fending off the Macedonian attacks, and then two quick lads with bags of talent on both flanks feeding the forwards. It would also mean we could introduce proper impact subs like Hunt and Fahey which could be decisive also.
 
I reckon Trap will go with the below team however:
 
                           Given
 
McShane     O'Shea   O'Dea     Kilbane
 
Lawrence Whelan Andrews McGeady
 
                  Keane     Long
 
Which ain't a bad team either to be fair - just not my preference. I suppose the experience of Lawrence and Kilbane could be handy for such a tricky away fixture though. And also Lawrence's set pieces are an added bonus of going with this line up also. Either way I'm worried about our full backs to be honest!

What the fook?? Jaysus, I wonder is Longs head just all over the shop after the play-off defeat or something?
 
Don't get me wrong, Cox has done well in the last two games, but there has to be something up with Long if he's not starting this one!
