Andy Reid played well also.
He was looking very sharp on the bench.
[QUOTE=“Bandage, post: 949606, member: 9”]Hoolahan floated the ball up to Walters but I wouldn’t count that as an assist as the latter had loads to do himself before scoring. Thought Hoolahan was largely anonymous throughout aside from that.
We really need McCarthy to kick on as an imposing all round centre midfielder or we’re fucked. We also need to decide what to do at centre back and left back. I think Ward is hopeless and reverting to Wilson (who hasn’t been much better there) is probably the best thing to do.
I also think we still need Dunne to do us a turn at the back beside O’Shea as the likes of Delaney, Keogh and Wilson don’t seem up to it.[/QUOTE]
Agreed with that.
I reckon Delaney is the best of those centre backs but they’re all fairly useless. How is Alex Pearce doing these days?
Wilson is shocking. He had two terrible tackles in their half within the space of about 10 minutes today that should have seen him sent off, even in a friendly. Don’t think he’s a particularly good defender and he’s pretty shit on the ball. But he’s still better than Ward probably. I think we should really look at putting McClean back there.

We could also do with St Ledger getting a new club and regular football
Forgot completely about him. Yeah he’s the solution if he can get himself a club. Celtic could do worse than taking a look at him - I assume his wage demands are low now after the Leicester experience.
Is Stokes likely to play tonight? Will stay up for the game if he has a decent chance.
