Bit worried about the form of our strikers going into the tournament. Looking at the 5 guys who will probably go:

Kevin Doyle: Cant get into an all but relegated Wolves side and has been poor for large parts of the season.

Shane Long:Started off the season well, but since he got injured he has struggled for form. Cant hold down a regular place at the moment.

Robbie Keane: Has started off well with DC and did well in his stint with Villa. Is probably our only striker in goalscoring form at the moment.

Simon Cox: Perennial sub for West Brom and cant get near the starting line-up.

John Walters: Regular for Stoke and is in decent form. However goals are not coming easy for him (dont think he has scored in 2012.)

Going on form and if there are no injuries, then Keane and Walters should really start.

I agree. Walters has been a good strike partner for Robbie. He has a bit of danger about him, a physicality and he's not afraid to harass a defense and have a good go. I think if that if he did play, he wouldn't be anonymous the way I think the other three would.

Add to that list Dunne and Hunt(injured),McGeady,Whelan, Andrews who are benchwarming.

McCarthy,McClean and Wilson are of the few playing regular,will they be picked?

Will Andy Keogh squeeze in ahead of Doyle with his latest form?
