OK so the NC was off getting robbed at the Electric Picnic so good aul' Ass Man was in control of re-setting the team after injuries and what not.
Vis á vis we had a striker in Ryan taking the place of Neill at OMC and a DL in Curran coming in at DC for Kenny (I think...?). In a way it was fortunate that Curran got himself injured so at least Kelly - a DC - could come on and perhaps limit the damage. Actually whatever happened to Fitzpatrick, I know REC is flawed but he's still a + 50 routine DC with 5 stars.
Hard to know how much those two replacements affected the result, but we can only surmise that they were significant. Lithuania did not play particularly brilliant, but did enough. Leaves us in third possie with the next round to go. At least we have Lithuania at home next time.
