Hope Shane Long's injury isn't too bad.  What are the other choices as well as Cox up front?

I'd imagine Estonia could handle isolated Cox quite easily.......................

Wesley Hoolahan motm again yesterday and has been the creative force in the games forenenst Chelsea and utd were Norwich were unlucky not to get anything out of those games

[Billys Boots]

Wes is most definitely not a Trapp-type footballer.  Never was and never will be.

What's the opinion on Hutton's tackle? Seems dangerous but just on the border of a legitimate tackle.

Two footed, studs up tackle which could have broken Long's leg quite easily. Two problems for the ref: Hutton took a nick of the ball before clattering Long, and secondly, it happened so quickly that it's hard to see even with the benefit of tv replays.

Awful tackle from that p***k Hutton. I think Anthony Stokes should be given a call up by Trap but he is another that Trap has a grudge with. Looking like Keane is going to be fit? He should be calling up five strikers for these games. Imo they should be Keane, Stokes, Doyle, Best and Cox. Gives us plenty of options just in case

Estonia is awfully far away. The trip would likely be too tiring for poor wee Stokes.

Should have been in it regardless of any injuries to other players IMHO.
