I'd say if you were to...

say to me now, you know, is he going to start or is he not going to start?

I'd probably say he's not.

But at the same time, I wouldn't be surprised at all if he did.

I think they deem him fit enough definitely to play a significant role.

I think Jason Lumby's going to be in there.

That's the mood music that we're hearing.

But the other one is totally up for grabs.

I mean, if we're talking about legs, if we're talking about matching midfield, there's no better man than Jason Knight to run his legs off, run his socks off for 90 minutes.

I mean, Alan Brown is kind of known for just being fit and Jack Taylor offers that bit of physicality that perhaps the other two don't.

So,

When you brought up the team very initially, the first thing that came to my head was I can't remember the last time I was coming into an Ireland football game where I had this little kind of assurance in my own mind as to what I think the starting XI is going to be.

And the system too, the system is the big one.

I really know the more we hear, I'm not so sure we're going to line up how we did against Portugal.

He was very good against Portugal in Dublin.

The only thing with that is that...

I would be surprised if Harvey Vale started in a system that is a back five.

No, not necessarily.

I could see him playing on the right, definitely.

I don't know about the left.
