Carson does not appear to be in the Northern Ireland, unless he’s been called in as a replacement for one of the three selected

Yes, Peacock Farrell, Hazard and Southwood are the keepers, shame the busiest keeper in L1 doesn't feature

He must be getting quite fed up of being on the losing side

Will be interesting to see how DA has got his ideas across to the squad through the break, I am hopeful the break will have come at exactly the right time for you and he and the squad will have a clearer picture of how to attack the final round of games.
10 days or so in the hands of DA can only have been beneficial, I have a feeling the weekend will see the start of his second spell at the club and results will reflect this time together.
No reason this squad cannot adapt to DA's methods, stop the opposition and then play the game worked well for you last season and theoretically the core of the squad is equal if not better than the team that completed last season at Wembley.
Good fortune

I agree with the break being good for Derek and the team. When he came back, we had a full schedule and often only 1 or 2 training sessions between games which gives time for little more than basic fitness.
I hope (and expect) that Derek will have used these couple of weeks to do some proper training with back to back training sessions over both weeks.
I'm expecting to see an improvement this weekend and on Tuesday. Not sure it'll be enough at such a late stage in the season, but I am hopeful!

Agreed, they've had two weeks off to work on whatever they need to on the training ground. These two home games are massive and certainly winnable, sounds like we'll have a decent crowd backing too.
If we can't get anything from these then I don't see where the points might come from.
