I suppose considering Sheridan is from Cavan, he did not disgrace himself. At the time he came on, Ireland were holding on to a lead, not chasing the game. He got on the ball a few times, won a good corner, got his head to the long ball a few times. Hard to see from tv coverage how his movement was, but from what I could see he has a lot of progress to make before he would make the squad. Shane Long does look a better player than him.
Good energetic first half from something close to our best team.
Maybe it is just the other teams know we are managed by the legend that is Trap so they assume we must be well organised

CM was just about functional with Andrews pushing forward. Whelan fell asleep for the Paraguay goal but he hit a lovely pass for Duff to run onto, a real goal scoring chance.
A new kid called Green came on as a sub and did well (a Trap type CM), good enough to get another run out against Algeria.
