So what is your likely starting XI in your opinion? Impossible to predict some of the positions but I’ll give it a go. Randolph Coleman Duffy Clark Ward Hendrick Meyler Robinson Hourihane O’Dowda Walters O’Dowda might start in Hourihanes posistion, with Graham Burke on the left wing, or alternatively, Burke might just replace Robinson full stop. I’d imagine that I’ve 9/11 of those selections correct. Randolph to Meyler is a guarantee, unless we’ve suffered anymore injuries. |

Good morning lovely Welsh fans , here we go again ! Buzzing for tonight's game but can I just say on here , let's take things one game at a time . Forget the crap about the Denmark game and concentrate on beating the Irish ! No competitive game is going to be easy for us no matter what players are in or out of the side . Let's just get behind the boys for 90 minutes and give them our best support as usual. Cymru Am Byth Take it easy Radnor boys |

Either Hourihane, Robinson or Judge could start behind Walters. The rest is definitely going to be the team as we have no other options. |

Keep hearing about all your injuries but really not that bad. Possibly 3 starters?
We are missing Huws and Williams through injury

Maguire and Hogan would be next in line to play tonight if they were fit, so we’re choosing 3rd choice players in some posistions. The backline and goalkeeper is first choice. As far as I’m aware, Huws and Williams aren’t starters for you. I’ve never even heard of Huws. |

Is it?
Thought there were 3 points available.
Point is your all bleating about injuries when they arent that bad.

Question for our Irish friends, which I've been meaning to ask all week. Do you think MON and Keane have lost the dressing room?
With everything thats gone on, including some poor press conferences from MON, I'd be surprised if the players really want to play for him.
I know its playing for your country not the manager etc etc, but we've had a few occassions when player - manager relations really affect the team.

Is it? Thought there were 3 points available. Point is your all bleating about injuries when they arent that bad. How are they not that bad? Even if we exclude Rice and Arter as they aren’t injured but are out for other reasons, we are missing McCarthy, Brady, Long, McClean*, Browne, Maguire, Hogan. The first four would have started without a doubt, Browne was set to start tonight but got injured, Maguire and Hogan are ahead of Robinson and Burke in the pecking order too. Add in the omissions of Arter and Rice and it’s a full blown selection crisis. And if you’re bringing Collins and Kanu into it, then I suppose we’ve lost Hoolahan and Murphy to retirement. Public expectations in Ireland are at an all time low, public expectations in Wales are at their highest since Euro 2016, from what I’ve gathered. Nobody expects Ireland to do anything in the Nations League, half of us are hoping that we can escape the four games with a bit of pride intact, O’Neill and Keane gone and a few of our brighter younger players getting a chance to play. |

The likes of Seamus Coleman, Shane Duffy, David Meyler, Jon Walters and James McClean would go through a war to play for Ireland. But there is definitely a few weaker heads in the squad who mightn’t be feeling the best at the moment. |

As far as I’m aware, Huws and Williams aren’t starters for you. I’ve never even heard of Huws. The truth of it though is that Brady has been sh!te for Ireland since Euro 2016. Can't seem to hit a deadball anymore. McCarthy has never really turned up for Ireland barring a handful of occasions where he's bossed the games, making it all the more frustrating. Shane Long has pace and can stretch defenders, but a barn door he cannot hit. Hogan and Maguire unproven for Ireland, so barring Rice, Arter, McClean, I don't think we're missing any serious players. Incidentally, Hendrick (who will start) has been very poor for Ireland since Euro 2016. Would have him out if we had full strength squad. |

Our under 21s are second in their qualifying group with a game in hand. We’ve had youngsters playing for Liverpool, Inter Milan, Bayern Munich and Manchester City in pre-season. Wales would probably call them up to the senior squad. That isn’t a jibe, it’s just not how our management set up selects younger players. Our under 17s and 19s sides are very very good. Declan Rice looks set to stick with Ireland and is a hugely talented lad. There are several lads aged 21-23 who are playing regularly enough in the Championship. Many of whom will be likely to be mainstays for years to come. Ryan Manning (22), Callum O’Dowda (23), Alan Browne (23), Robinson (23) Conor O’Shaugnessy (20/21) Josh Cullen (22) are all decent players coming through and are already established decently at their clubs. Sean Maguire has just turned 24, which isn’t exactly young, but he’s been in shit hot form when fit in the Championship. Our domestic league is now providing half decent internationals every few years too. |

A lot of us are bouncing around saying what a great squad we have etc, but this is Giggs' first competitive game. Tbf, anything could happen. When we played Uruguay and Mexico over the summer, we didn't look any different to how we were under Coleman. Some fans have deluded expectations that we're going to win with relative ease tonight. We may be slight fave's, but I think it'll be another tight encounter. Although I'd love us to have a nice revenge win by 2/3 goals, it's the wrong gameplan imo. |

I’d honestly rather our 21s qualify than win a Nations League group, if there was a chance we could come second anyway. |

With Bale back at home - We play we win
They stop us playing draw or defeat
No different than 11 months ago !
Up to us really who is or isn’t available for them isn’t relevant
