When's Hunt back?

[johnp]

Was it a 1 or 2 match ban for getting sent off against the Czechs?

He was missed on Saturday

[johnp]

Tis ok, he's back on Wednesday.

[The Erectile Banana]

Hunt and McShane are both back for the Cyprus match.

I'd like to see Hunt starting this one with Kilbane at left back.

Thought Kelly had a pretty good game on Saturday, might be worth another shot on Wednesday?

Yeah, Kelly did okay.

I'd prefer to see a naturally left sided player on that side though, would offer us a better balance going forward as imagine we'll be playing a more attacking game against the Cypriots.

Kelly could be moved into centre back alongside McShane to replace Dunne. I'm surprised he didn't play there against the Germans as he has more experience in that position than Joey O' Brien.

Kelly is useless on the left. he was showing ZE Germans a direct route to our goal the other night. He's a ****ing right back staunton!

That clown has a thing about playing our full backs on the wrong side.

Staunton aint the only one who does it.

When you got 2 right backs, one has to play on the wrong side. So does the better of the two, Finnan, play on the right or on the left?

Admittedly, against the Czechs (or was it Slovakia?) he just blatantly had them on the wrong sides

Latest is that Reid is doubtful.

If he and Carsley are both out that leaves us with a probable midfield partnership of Miller and Potter.

Urgh.

Stan should drop Keane for tonight, the lad is a shambles for us yet bangs them in for spurs.

He could/should stick Kilbane in there if that's the case.

That's true but even when he plays ****e he's still better than anything else we have.

[The Erectile Banana]

He should.

He won't though, he'll keep him on the left.

I don't think Staunton has ever played Kilbane in the middle.

A midfield of:

Kilbane -- Potter -- Miller -- Keogh

doesn't bear thinking about.

Defo. He's been a joke for us lately. I think it's 3 competitive goals in over 2 years, and all 3 were home to San Marino

Its basically a nothing game so there's nowt to lose. Stick him on the bench and teach the ****er a lesson. Captain of your country FFS

I don't agree he should be dropped, but it was a big mistake making him captain. Perhaps he would play with more freedom and confidence if he didn't have that burden.

Given or Dunne should have been made captain.
