I think? Or it could be 4-4-2 with Reid on one wing and Doyle the other.

Noel King's team v Kazakhstan has just been announced: Forde,Coleman,Dunne, O'Shea,Wilson,Gibson,McCarthy,Reid, Stokes, Doyle, Keane

Wtf

Other than Keane (I'd have Long in there) - that's a great team.

Banjaxed82

If there's one thing Trap and king have in common it's there fondness for not playing actual wingers.

Pighead

McGeady instead of Doyle on the right wing and that's a pretty decent team.

stiffler123

It's such a strange lineup that I'm actually looking forward to the game now.

No natural wingers on ???:mad::mad:

Hoolahan must be pulling his hair out

John Giles - "Kakistan".

Andy Reid is a natural winger. Stokes plays quite a bit out wide for Celtic.

I'd say it'll be 4-4-2 with Stokes and Reid playing wide with Doyle as the target man and Keane playing off his shoulder.

Has Dunphy had a few Gin & Tonics or is he always like this?

He looks a bit pissed to me.

Francie Barrett

Aviva looks empty.

UnitedIrishman

The RTE boys are at it already. Giles reckons formations aren't that important.

And when Sadlier tries to logically explain that players instructions could be the basis of the Irish plan they shoot him down with 'there's no evidence to support what you've said'... when the game hasn't kicked off yet.

Reid is not mobile enough to play on the wing at this level.

Lads what happened Anthony Pilkington wasnt he in the squad last friday night for the Germany game but hes not included tonight?

"First starting point". Noel doesn't seem the brightest.

Maybe so as I haven't seen Reid inn years. I saw Stokes the last day .... he didn't impress. Thought he was a centre-forward?

He's a striker. Best played with a partner but has played out wide before.

Reid is no longer a natural winger, but he has matured into being a very effective attacking midfielder for Forest over the last 2 years

He's a centre forward who is usually not the top man at a club so invariably gets played out wide. Make of that what you will.

wandatowell

2-0 win for Ireland

Zico

Iceland could make the play-offs if results go their way tonight. They're 0-1 up away to Norway. Gwan ICELAND!!

Kirby

"he's played 5-4-3-2-1.......or whatever it is...."

Giles may be a great for Ireland but he's a dinosaur. He gets confused so easily.

Chagan

Even Bill O'Herlihy has no interest in being at this match tonight.

Ganymede Glow

Bosnia just scored. Looks like they will go through as group winners

Every game he's played this season for Forest has been wide left. If you've been watching the Football League highlights show, you'll see that.

I go to every game at the City Ground, he is left of a diamond 4, we dont play with width at Forest never mind wingers

Reid is more mobile now than he was 6 years ago!

Anyway, I am sick of seeing us picking brainless wingers who keep running into players and giving away possession far too cheaply. McGeady, McClean, Hunt, Lawrence, Keogh, etc. have all been given chances - lots of mobilty, but a lack of ability (some more than others of course).

Reid worked for us before he was dumped out of the team because the manager was too pig-headed to realise his quality. He deserves a chance.

McGeady is a cut above anyone else you've listed. Yes, his end product is sketchy and his shooting is poor. But you show me a winger that is consistently brilliant and ill show you a 50 million price tag and one of a handful of worldclass wingers. There are barely any. We are lucky to have even one decent winger. Running down blind allies and occasionally losing the ball is just something that you have to accept with pacey, trickey wingers.

He should be in the team every time for his ability to scare opposition alone. He is frequently doubled up on for a reason.....and this creates space for the rest of the team.

Thats not the Kazakhstan Anthem I am familiar with...

How Anthony Stokes can be played ahead of Wes Hoolahan is mind boggling

Thats more like it.

jesus this never ends

G.K.

Ireland's strongest aspect is the wingers IMO. McGeady, Brady and Pilkington is quality matched in few other areas of the squad (Though I know that says more about the squad than the wingers necessarily being top class).

So that none of them are playing is bizzare (Though I know Brady's not in squad).

KevIRL

If Coleman is booked tonight does he miss the first qualifier of the Euros?

Likewise if anyone is sent off tonight are they banned for the Euro qualifier too?

You know yourself. A few poor performances and suddenly he is a terrible player. It seems to be a trend in modern football that a few good games your a world beater and a few bad your crap.

I support Leeds utd and when the season began McDermott could do no wrong and after a difficult month some of the Leeds support are calling for his head. Its Crazy stuff

I didn't say he was a bad player - but who does he think he is criticising the manager when he has played to piss poorly on the recent chances he has been given. I think it's a 'modern trend' in football that jumped up youngsters without a medal or career to their name can resort to social media to promote their reputation rather than getting their head down and doing their job..

sea_monkey

i actually like the look of the line-up

should be a lot going through the middle and hopefully we can create some good chances there, ive never been confident of our cross conversion ability

No. It starts over. Only red cards carry as far as I'm aware.

bizmark

no one at the stadium why didnt they cut ticket prices to 15 euro at the low end how could that possible be worse than haveing it 75% empty

Who was your one with the plate?

Ah jaysus, not the Fields of Athenry.

FFS The Fields of Athenry :mad::mad:
