Ogbene was very energetic and enthusiastic when he came on but thatās a function of the very limited game time he got when everybody else was tired, you canāt judge a player on five minutes of energy and enthusiasm. Itās a pity he didnāt get even another 10 minutes to make an impact. Horgan is the player who has moved up the pecking order most. He offers a bit of a creative spark, he looks and picks a pass and does it with no bullshit, he does it with speed. We have very little of that on offer from others.
Thought we did ok there, looked dangerous at times on the break. Defence was solid enough, especially with crosses into the box. Thought Idah did ok, Cullen was combative. Ogbene did well when introduced.
The trend is upwards, even if Hungary werenāt all that.
Idah would probably be quite good as a target man in a front 2, maybe playing beside a wee lad.
If by some hook or crook we get a draw away to Portugal it would do wonders.
Hungary were lacking a Lajos Detari/Ferenc Puskas type of player.

The biggest thing I picked up from that is Shane Duffy is back.
The Aussie coming to Celtic should sign him
Duffy has already been destroyed by a vacuum cleaner salesman and tree surgeon up there.

Needs to move to a bigger club.
Based on what?
this is box office in fairnessā¦tonight could be the start of Spockās vindication.
What will happen if we kick on?
Will the footixās combust?
Like Bazunu but Kelleher definetely ahead of him.
Excellent interview from our manager there he is radiating confidence now you can hear the players in great voice in the background, we are witnessing the birth of our next golden era here tonight.

I think in about 12 to 18 months their could be massive improvement but i donāt think Kenny will get the time. Needs to beat Arzebejan home and away, Luxembourg away and even a draw v Serbia to stay in the job for me.

If there are encouraging signs heāll get plenty of time. If he wins the 3 games against minnows heāll be grand

I was actually encouraged by Doherty also tonight. that RHS with Knight, Doherty and balls into Idah looked somewhat structured, Horgan also had some lovely interplay on the leftā¦this was half decent
