I have to say I was impressed at how Gibraltar were set up at the back, they knew they would never be attacking Ireland, but well organised at the back, and they were worth 0-0 at HT.
You could see how the back 5 were all working and concentrating together, getting blocks in, focus and moving out quickly in a line.

Re: Louie called up for international vs Ireland
Perhaps should look into Niels Hartman's availability, he's currently playing for Loughborough Students as he's been studying there but I think his studies are ending now so could be available.mike wrote: ↑Thu Jun 22, 2023 9:04 pm I have to say I was impressed at how Gibraltar were set up at the back, they knew they would never be attacking Ireland, but well organised at the back, and they were worth 0-0 at HT.

In the Gibraltar squad today, must have just returned from injury so don't expect him to play 90 tonight

Miraculously he lasted 90 minutes.

Re: Louie called up for international vs Ireland
I only saw a brief glimpse of the highlights but someone resembling him was beaten for a header for one of the goals and sent out for soup and sandwiches for another. Not a surprise as he would be severly lacking match practice. He may have asked for a full 90 so he can get back into contention for tomorrow week.

I don't think that really how team selection works at international level!oldfogey wrote: ↑Thu Oct 12, 2023 11:17 amI only saw a brief glimpse of the highlights but someone resembling him was beaten for a header for one of the goals and sent out for soup and sandwiches for another.

Anyway, good to see him back playing, presumably he's likely to play v Ireland on Monday. He was very good in the Aviva.
