I expected Aiden O'Brien to be in there. Is he injured?
Would of liked Graham Carey if we are giving league 1 players a chance. How many of those without.caps will make the final squad?
Byrne playing in League One, Cullen has played mostly in League One and Sheridan has fallen out of favour with his Siberian team.
I'd have had no problem with any of them being included but for the most part O'Neill doesn't seem to go any lower than the Championship.
Not really that I can see, just says that he's spoken to all of them, that Ward is only back from injury and that Randolph was never going to play, rested it seems.
Any non-fish related suggestions?
Certainly worth making contact with Bamford's people at this stage.
Darragh lenihan is an interesting one half his season lost to injury was a defensive midfielder initially where we are lacking outside of meyler(hopefully he not going to be right side of diamond again) and maybe rice. Would like to have seen byrne especially as we have picked the Blackburn lads.
Ha!
Not really to be honest. It's really worrying. tets' site is quite good, but it's really slim pickings. Checking through names there - McGoldrick? Or is he injured? Adam Rooney? Sammo deserves a mention at least. But I think we need to be looking higher than SPL.
Doyle or Madden? Both doing well in League One lately. But it's low still.
The U-21 team looks similarly stuck for options.
Obviously the LoI deserves consideration too. Cummins has started well and has to be on a par with the SPL guys. Hoban too I guess, if a brace against Bray qualifies you!
And yeah - I'm stuck.
Callum Wilson is eligible for us according to TransferMarkt (which is usually pretty reliable). Not sure how aware people are of this, but I only found out today.

I suspect he'd not have much difficulty breaking into our team if he came over to us.
Bring Back Belfast Celtic F.C.
Is expected back this weekend so could have been included: http://www.watfordobserver.co.uk/new...-for-millwall/
Mostly good, although at this point 90% of the squad picks itself. Definitely a good idea to give the Blackburn lads a shot - both have shown themselves Championship quality and will quite possibly be there next season and thus competing for UEFA League places.
Two other decisions I would change: Colin Doyle is roughly the same age as Elliot, Randolph and Westwood and isn't likely to leapfrog them so why not have Ian Lawlor instead? He's made a solid start to his senior club career and is only 23 - could do with a cap or two to cement his confidence early.
Second, I see no point in having Alex Pearce in there, he's only played four times this season - If Rice and Long were to lose their places next season, surely next in line would be Richard Keogh. In spite of his horror show against Mexico, he's playing regularly for Derby, has 18 caps and could even be playing in the Premier League next season.
Is Stephen Gleeson injured? He scored against Mexico and hasn't been seen since.
Folding my way into the big money!!!
He's for, as far as I know, but not getting much gametime since moving to Ipswich
confirms his interest here...

Good to see an air of freshness to the squad. I would imagine some of the more senior players like Randolph, Keogh and McGeady are just being rested to give young blood a chance. Andy Boyle might have been worth a look at again instead of Pearce.
Is O'Dowda injured?
Great to see Robinson interested too. Sounds enthusiastic too. Another option up front at least. He's played for England quite a few times at various under-age levels, so I'm guessing at least one of those games were competitive, meaning he'll probably have to request a formal switch and wait a while for clearance.
