Right now Id be picking Azaz over Szmodics for sure. Szmodics energy off the bench could be really good though

I wonder is Jake O'Brien a doubt at all? He went down in the last 5 mins of the game at the weekend holding his hamstring. Camera caught him saying 'it's just cramp', but he didn't really look right for the last few mins.

I'm thinking it would be a massive call to not pick your captain in your 23 man squad. He is fit, at least to the extent that he was about to come on when O'Brien cramped up at the weekend. If he isn't called up when fit then I don't see how he could continue as captain any more.

Collins is effectively the new captain anyway I would have thought?
