Didn't play as well 1st half, got to give credit to ROI who played well on the break and defended well. They look like they have some handy young players and our midfield didn't really get going.
2nd half we were much stronger, played more on the front foot with a bit more pace and we got our reward. Thought Hickey was absolutely superb again, he's a much better player than Patterson on that evidence. Hopefully him and Tierney are OK for Krakow.
I think Stevie made a mistake not starting Adams though, thought he would have been more of a threat to those irish CBs than Dykes.
