James McClean

Provided he keeps this sort of form up for the rest of the season he should go, would be a good impact sub to bring on. Trap should have players on the bench he can bring on who can change the game if we find ourselves a goal down.

very exiting player!

I honestly have not been impressed with Doyle at all in the last few years.He takes alot of punishment with challenges but Long and Walters can more than deputise for him.For me Doyle drifts out to wide areas too much.I know he's very good at holding the ball up but he does it too often and he's not scoring enough goals either at club or international level.Granted he was carrying an injury for a good while but Long and Walters are better players and should be certainly starting ahead of him but thats just my opinion.

I think Hunt seems to always play well for his country.he s got a great delivery in him.he only comes on for 20 minutes and he gets an awful lot of frees for us in dangerous positions which we ll need because  in all honesty  we re going to be up against technically superior passing teams than us so we ll need someone who can win set pieces for us.Plus he winds up the opposition and might get them sent off as well. id personally take him.if anything id drop Doyler because whats he done in the last 3 years?  Not really for this thread but are you serious? Doyle has been one of our better players over the past 3 years. He definitely hasn't been doing well recently but he was our best player in the 1st half of the last campaign and been solid before that.

+1

Sorry I misunderstood. I honestly hope he does not return but if he did and Trap played Ireland on the right (as staunton did vs Wales before) the players would probably just get on with it for the sake of the team.Irelands attitude stinks but his sense of positioning (unlike Gibson) and link up play is the best Ive seen from an Irish midfielder in the last 10-15 years. I hate to say it but we 'd benefit from him in the squad at least.Unfortunately i think Trap recognises that and i dont believe he has completely closed the door on him especially when Ireland has the ability to get vital goals.Apologies for going of the McLean point  lads

A little competition never hurt anyone and finally we are starting to have real options for places on the team sheet now. Bring on June. Can't wait  There's also a bit of hypocrisy in Trap because he'd soon forget about his loyalty to players if Steven Ireland decided to come back and he certainly didn't cover himself in glory in terms of Kilbane. Im glad Kilbanes not in the squad anymore but he deserved to be treated a little bet if you think trap would bring stephen ireland back into the fold, you really have not learned much about Trap. firstly in terms of his principles and secondly in terms of his system. in terms of kilbane if anyhting he was too loyal to him, and recognised his contribution by inviting him over to join the squad to celebrate qualification.

Also we have an abundance of players for that position. The only realistic way I can see McClean making the squad is if there is injuries to any of the wingers. However I do hope that Trap at least offers him an opportunity to showcase his talent. how did andy keogh get him to the euros?? he would have to be dropped. there's just so many better players playing at the moment who didn't play in the euros who would add strength and depth to our team. this lad has absolutely no fear whoever he comes up against and will be something much needed from the bench. he's an assist machine lately.

i don't think HB is referring to Keogh, keogh has no chance of making the 22.

Im glad Kilbanes not in the squad anymore but he deserved to be treated a little better when his services were no longer required. I think if Brady was still involved he'd have handled it better.Brady for me is a huge loss to the backroom staff set up

Has to be called up.
