    Georgia V Republic of Ireland - Saturday, 2 September 2017 - World Cup 2018 Qualifier

    Provisional squad being announced tomorrow afternoon
    @FAIreland

    I'm not really expecting any surprises.
    Maybe Cillian Sheridan will finally get in ahead of Kevin Doyle.
    Hopefully Liam Kelly will be involved.
    Rob Elliot might get back in.

    It will be something else if Maguire gets in after one Championship appearance though!

    No surprises expected either. Don't expect Sheridan and hope and expect Kelly.

    Rice ? After his Prem app today maybe. It did wonders for Long after all.

    I said the following in a text group that I'm part of.

    ONeill really cant name Maguire for this squad as it will completely negate O'Neills credibility considering Maguire has only been there 3 weeks.
    Here they come! It’s the charge of the “Thanks” Brigade!

    If we can just avoid injuries we should have our best 11 available (excluding Coleman obviously)

    Glad to see Cunningham and Maguire get the call.

    Maguire is a completely different player to the one he was in May.

    Great to see the magic plane is still in working order! Joking aside well deserved and same for Matt Doherty and then Greg Cunningham getting back in after years out in the cold, playing great for Preston the last year or so. Boyle must be injured, didn't even make the bench for Preston at the weekend?

    There will be uproar amongst die-hard LOI fans. And rightly so, I think. Delighted for him though. And Cunningham too.

    Cunningham and Doherty unlikely to get their chance though with Ward doing well. Not for competitive matches.

    There isn't one of that midfield if utilised properly that I'd be disappointed with.

    He is most probably just being named in the provisional squad as a recognition of his step up and a general boost to his confidence, not that the langer blow-in was short of some.

    What you ye think of Hogan been call up and being put straight into the final panel, even though he's done nothing with Villa!

    That's going on the basis of half a season. We have plenty strikers that can point to half a season of inactivity or poor form. What about the form previous to January 2017? The form which saw him shooting the lights out in the Championship for Brentford?

    His Villa stint has been fairly stop-start so far. We'll see what he does over the next couple of weeks first I suppose.

    This is actually a salient point, and ironic considering how our numbers at the top level have in theory been shrinking over the past 2 decades.

    We've never really had the strength in depth whereby a manager is forced to pick a squad of players based on form, current form, rather than history in the jersey. As I looked at the squad of midfielders listed by the FAI in the provisional squad, ONeill is now coming to a stage where he will have to start picking players on form given the similar levels of ability amongst them.

    Excellent point. I don't think we have that depth up front, hence why out of form strikers can be picked. But in defence and midfield we actually do have a lot of players that can be picked based on form. Cunningham or Doherty? McShane or Pearce? O' Dowda or Pilkington? Meyler or Quinn? They are fairly rough examples but the point stands. We have a depth of options in the Championship. Doherty (think he's back to RB recently though), Cunningham and Stevens all Championship starters. O'Connor and Williams coming behind them. Lots of LB options of a similar level.

    I can't really find fault with O'Neill's explanation of the situation to be honest. That's not to say I wouldn't called him up earlier, but the timing wasn't great in terms of his club situation previously either.
