I clearly do! Back in the old country this weekend though so it can't be helped.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see Whelan start. Jedi's seeming inability to keep a football on the floor will count against him. BB, for all his industry, is often a tad poor when it comes to finding a team mate.

I think there's a high chance Whelan will start. Jedinak can't pass. Bjarnason and mcginn have been playing for their country and Lansbury has barely played in months

Still think Whelan has been one of our better players this season

Chester had a solid game for Wales last night, granted Ireland's forwards are very average but was best I've seen him play in a while. Don't think we have players to consider playing 3 at the back like Wales for now unless Elmo could be converted to one of the three.

Played on the right side of central defence where he is far more comfortable.

He's barely played, when was he good?

Yes, it’s a new manager that has got to work with same players.
I am more looking forward to a change of mentality and getting more out of what we have.

Much like Ashley Westwood before him, Whelan is fine playing as the defensive midfielder in a midfield three.  Problems arise when he is asked to play any other type of role than that.

There is an alleged line up posted on the news now site (this is Futbol)

                         Nyland

Hutton      Tuanzabee    Chester   Taylor

              McGinn      Bjarnason

Adomah          Grealish              Bolasie

                    Abraham

Not sure if true but if it is already looks 100% more positive than previous line ups this season

Given most of them have only returned to training today I very much doubt anyone, including Dean Smith has decided yet.

It's an ok line up but I'm struggling to see how it's 100% more positive than typical Bruce line ups to be honest.
