McGeady creates an actual chance 1 in every 10 times there's a chance creating opportunity. I love the man, but he's shit at creating chances.

Hoolahan and Pilkington are all we need to create chances

I agree with you his final pass is the most frustrating part of his game, does my head in. Unfortunately I doubt Hoolahan or Pilkington will get the nod to start against Sweden or Austria.

Pilkington will. Trap wants that chap locked down for Ireland and really likes him

I hope you're right man because he's a quality player and we don't have many of those.

Hoping we start with Shane Long up front against Sweden at the Aviva.

Silly, we all know that'd be Liam Miller.

Hope Pilks goes on to have a cracking international career with Ireland. I'm a bit gutted he was never picked by Hodgson, as at present he's streets ahead of the likes of Raheem Sterling and Andros Townsend. For my money, he's the best crosser of a ball in open play in the Premier League, can play on the left and the right, genuinely two-footed, the lot. I'll admit to being biased after seeing him rip up League One in Town colours, but he really is a class player.

Shame about the beard, though.

He's a terrific player and I'm extremely glad he's finally capped for us.

I'd like to see him start against Austria on Tuesday night.

Aye. Big Mick and Brian McDermott in the running. MON favourite obviously, really hope he doesn't get it.

Stephen Kenny should get the job

Someone mentioned Guus Hiddink which would be a fabulous appointment but I doubt he'd want to manage Ireland and I doubt we'd be able to afford his wages.

Rene Mulensteen is pretty low odds

Mulensteen's been hilarious since he's been let go.

If he's half as good as he makes out you couldn't do any better.

I'd like to think he must be at least decent considering he stuck around Old Trafford for so long.

Chris Hughton and Brian McDermott have ruled themselves out.

Would have been my preferred man to get the job but no way he was ever going to leave Norwich after their summer.

Nope.

Our only foreign managers have been Charlton and Trap.

Bielsa.

Being linked with the Australian job should Holger Osieck leave and he'd probably prefer taking them over rather than us. Would be much easier for him to qualify for the World Cup if he can get them playing good football.
