In just over five weeks the Republic of Ireland will finish off their Nations League campaign with games away to Scotland and at home to Armenia.After consecutive losses to the Armenians and Ukraine, Stephen Kenny's side picked things up with an impressive win against the Scots at the Aviva, and then were just as good when holding Ukraine to a draw in the Polish city of Łódź.A case then of Kenny's side mixing the good with the not so good, a fair summation of how the side have performed under the stewardship of the Dubliner.
An assessment that was shared by Séamus Coleman when he spoke to the media at the launch of SPAR's Better Choices campaign."It has been up and down at times but when it clicks we've been very good.
Going forward we've got to be better in certain games, though there have been games where we've looked very good," said the Everton defender.A question of more consistency then.
It's what many teams are trying to find.Coleman featured in just the opening match of the Nations League - that surprise 1-0 loss in Yerevan - he subsequently had surgery on a hernia problem.
