Walters and Cox ?

Due to injuries to Long,Keane and Doyle i would imagine Trapatonni will start Cox and Walters up front for our away trip to Estonia.

Walters is having a good season for Stoke and Cox has played well for us in all the matches he has played so far.

Both these players obviously love playing for Ireland and that can be seen with the work rate and commitment both of these display whenever they pull on the green jersey.

On to the Estonia away game. It is vital that we don't lose the first leg. I would be reasonably happy with a draw in this match and then hope we should be good enough to beat them in front of a 50,000 capacity crowd at the Aviva in the second leg.

Our team is full of good experienced Internationals who i am fully confident of doing the business and getting us to the Euro Finals.

That said i wouldn't take anything for granted against the Estonians. Any side who manages to finish second in their qualifying group (even if it was one of the easier ones) have to be a useful side.

Keane will be fit. Keane & Cox will start. I'd have Keane & Walters, but what do I know?

If Keane is fit, he'll play which I think is unfortunate. I guess this was always going to be the risk when you make a striker captain. I think Walters and Cox would be the most effective partnership. Keane hasn't played well in a competitive match for some time but will be the first name on the sheet if he's available
