Whatā€™s the team going to be on Saturday?

Based on media soundings and my keen observation skills, Iā€™ve established the following:

AN Other;
Coleman, AN Other, AN Other, AN Other;
Doherty, AN Other, AN Other, Brady;
McGoldrick, Maguire.

I heard Matt Doherty on the radio yesterday evening.
An extremely confident chap :grinning:

in fairness its refreshing at least
will they ever now just drop Coleman and play Doherty instead

25

Duffy will start at centre back, not sure who will partner him. Think Enda Stevens is the only left back in the squad.

Centre midfield will be two of Hourihane, Whelan, Hendrick and Arter. Doherty on the right and either McClean or Brady on the left.

McGoldrick and Maguire up top.

Personally Iā€™d go

Randolph
Coleman-Duffy-Egan-Stevens
===Hendrick-Hourihane===
Doherty==McClean==Brady
=====McGoldrick======

Mainly due to it being on an astro pitch Iā€™d leave Maguire out as by the sounds of it he will struggle to play two games in 4 days and play McClean through the middle and have him drift left with Brady cutting inside.

Weā€™ll have 10 men behind the ball on sat wait and see. Same old shit.

27

Hopefully.

Tempt the Gibraltesers forward and hit them on the break.

Big Mick has always played sexy football I expect a competent 3 nil victory followed by a solid 2 nil win against those dirty Georgians.

Surely Brady & McClean will both start regardless. Maybe Brady at left-back?

I certainly wouldnā€™t be against Stevens starting, good player.

I wouldnā€™t know a whole pile about Travers but itā€™s probably Randolph fairly nailed on in goal.

Big Mick said he doesnā€™t regard Brady as a defensive option.

31

As @Bandage says Big Mick says he views Brady as a wide option. He could always look to play Coleman at left back and Doherty at right back with Brady and McClean on the wings but I think that would leave us terribly imbalanced.

32

Randolph

Coleman
Duffy
Keogh
Stevens

Doherty
Hendrick
Whelan
Brady

McGoldrick
Maguire

is along the lines of what Iā€™d expect. Maybe someone offering a bit more on the ball instead of Whelan for the Gibraltar game

Mcclean as a number 10? Someone having a laugh surely.

35

As a traditional left winger, I think McClean is superior to Brady.

Brady is a better footballer but Iā€™d have McClean on the left ahead of him. Brady on the right, as a number 10 or as an attacking full-back against a weaker side.

36

One of Brady or McLean will be left back.

37

Would agree with that
Interesting to see if Cullen or Byrne get a run at some stage

38

Byrne has to play

39

Byrne the new Andy Reid.
