Doherty at left back?
Poor looking side but I’ve a good feeling

You absolute mockbag
3-5-2. Doherty and McLean are the wing backs.
Yeah the usual 4-3-3 / 4-5-1 with Doherty left back, Robinson and McClean wide and Collins through the middle. At least it’s our regular midfield three anyway.
His first start for Crystal Palace came a bit late it seems. Team as expected really
McCarthy would be a big upgrade on Whelan, hopefully he can keep himself fit with Palace and work his way back in.
I’d imagine he will. Seems to have been forgotten about a bit by the media. Can’t recall Mick being asked about him
Clarke is another one who is badly out of favour. What’s the story there?
He’s a bit of a donkey but he’s a million miles better than Kevin Long.
Clarke isn’t a big Mick centre half.
I thought he would be, he’s a head it and hoof it clear type.
Big game for Collins to fill Didsys boots.
Hopefully get to see Connolly come and and score the third in a surprisingly easy 3-0 for the boys in green (or possibly white today)
Just hasn’t played at club level much in a long time, same as Long I suppose. He’s decent though. If we ever change to a back 3 he’d be decent on the left of the central 3. He’s fairly solid on the ball
We haven’t changed to a back 3, I don’t know what you’re on about
I don’t want to see Connolly today because it will mean we are chasing an equaliser with 15-20 mins left.
Or else 3 nil up and giving him a run
Johnny ward flew to tiblisi specially to see him play.
Happy enough with that team in the circumstances. Hoping Collins can put in a decent shift up there. Much happier with him as a wild card than Hogan who just seems so unexciting as a striker.
Ya that wont be happening!
There’s a few strange calls with lads not playing at club level.
I wouldn’t be a big fan of Shane Long but he’s ideal to have as an option at least for the type of football we play. Defenders do not like playing against Long as he’s a pest and has a bit of pace and power to be able to run the channels and take them to places they don’t like to be taken to.
Then you have others like Kevin Long and Scott Hogan who are not getting many minutes involved.
