U-21 squad announced for friendly VS Lithuania

[tetsujin1979]

From http://www.fai.ie/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=3649&Itemid=9

Stephen Henderson - Bristol City
Shane Redmond - Nottingham Forest

Seamus Coleman - Sligo Rovers
Eddie Nolan - Blackburn Rovers
Michael Spillane - Norwich City
Ian Bermingham - UCD
Michael Liddle - Sunderland
Darren Dennehy - Cardiff City

John-Joe O’Toole - Watford
Stephen Gleeson - Stockport County
Owen Garvan - Ipswich Town
Jimmy Ryan - Accrington Stanley
James McCarthy - Hamilton Academical
James O’Shea - Galway United
Alan Judge - Blackburn Rovers
Keith Treacy - Blackburn Rovers

Cillian Sheridan - Celtic
Sean Scannell - Crystal Palace.

Two strikers? Unless you count Treacy as one (I don't)
No Garvan or O'Toole in the squad VS Cyprus so

Nolan, Garvan, Scannell, and Treacy all in the squad VS Forest as well

[eirebhoy]

McCarthy, Garvan and O'Toole aint a bad midfield at all. Probably Scannell and Treacy supporting Sheridan in attack. We're a bit stuck for strength in depth in defence.

[tetsujin1979]

Givens played 4-3-3 in the last game, so I'd imagine he'll continue with that in Lithuania

Good to see Jay O'Shea get the call up. He has been excellent this season.

Eddie Nolan has joined Preston North End on a 3 month emergency loan deal... (source (http://www.blackburncitizen.co.uk/sport/3732550.Nolan_seals_loan_deal_to_Preston_North_End/))

[Mr Maroon]

Any streams for this?

[Carrigaline]

I wouldn't mind seeing Michael Liddle getting a game. He's a combative, attacking left-back. Reminds me a bit of a young Stephen Carr.

Garvan at it again.

[gufcfan]

Are you in Lithuania or something Boss?

I did my best to get the scorers. You must have teh special type of inturnets.

****. I'd just gotten my hopes up that Jayo had scored a hattrick on his debut. :p

Well done Owen Garvan. He'll soon be, if he's not already, our all-time top scorer at U21 level. Not bad for a midfielder.

[Bohemian1890]

Lithuania lost:(

[irishultra]

Will Kalonas even be with Bohs in 3 months time?

Garvan scored 1, the other was an og.

I dont think he was playing in this game.

I think Stephen Elliott is the top scorer at U-21 level, AFAIR before that it was Mark Kennedy!
