Bang I reckon their will be 7 new or fresh faces in what will likely be a 25-30 man squad. The 3 flat out new faces will be O’Shea Molumby Manning Connolly Obafemi Travers and one relatively new midfeilder also make it they have been in past squads but are still new/fresh faces. It would be Cullen for now but if Smallbone is playing regularly and playing well for Southampton (hes been very good in the games he’s started) it would be hard not to pick him as he looks creative would suit Kenny to a tee. The attack and midfield really has potential for a sea of change in the next year though Idah Parrott Knight Smallbone even the likes of Ronan Ogbene Cassidy etc could be in contention if they are ripping it up just by the fact our roster of attackers and midfielders is so threadbare even allowing for McCarthy Long and Brady coming back in.

Sorry but how on earth would Ryan Cassidy be in contention, he has not played 1 single game at senior level.

On loan at Accrington Stanley for the year has loads of potential if he goes and bangs in 20-25 goals a season at that level hel be in contention for a squad place maybe optimistic but its hardly a million to one either. it’s only League 1 but Curtis and Judge were playing don’t mind getting into squads and they not achieving anywhere near that Collins started for us and he a bottom 6 Championship/League 1 player at best. With our roster of attackers or lack of them a young player like that is a season of ripping it up from being in contention even at League 1 level not a wild assertion and that would apply to other young attackers too the likes of Anthony Scully

He's gone from not playing a single game to banging in 20-25 goals a season.
Not too many players score 20 goals in L1. You might want to lower your expectations a smidge. |

How many Irish players have scored 20-25 goals in a single season in the last 5 years?

Well he is a striker isn’t he very highly rated will I say 15 goals so. of course it’s far more than likely he won’t but I’m saying the likes of him and Scully and of course Idah and Parrott are a season of ripping it up away from being more than likely in the squad the latter 2 at Championship level would be borderline certainties to be in the Ireland squad if really impressing. Hardly a stretch to say that with the lack of midfield and attacking depth in particular a lot of the talented lads 21 and under are a real good season like Molumby O’Shea and Connolly etc had from being in strong contention for an Irish squad. That was my general point I could have named 10 other young fellas just happened to name Cassidy.

I don’t think things will change much in terms of personnel, but hopefully we’ll get more out of them.
Doherty on right side on CM: I don’t know why, but I think Kenny has a role in mind for him. He’s alluded to a midfield role in the past, while also being clear that he sees Coleman as our starting RB

Yeah, I can definitely see Duffy, Coleman and Hendrick starting. Question marks over Robinson as I think he's been average at best, he was much better last season.

I'm not sure why he'd opt for Long over Duffy. He's no better (in fact probably even more limited) on the ball, and defensively they're both good but I wouldn't say he outstrips Duffy on that front either. Maybe the only clear area of advantage Long has is that he's faster.

Could see Darragh Lenihan being part of the squad.
Keith Andrews is a big fan of him.

With Clark out injured for sure. I would have doubts about him in an out and out ball playing side though would the lad struggle a touch for all he’s a savage defender.

Bit of a selection headache with the goalkeepers it seems, I thimk Randolph will keep his place for the short term but hes unlikely to see first team football for a while now.
Any thoughts on the next keeper to come in for the number 1 Jersey? A few players as contenders but no one playing regularly at club level Travers, Kelleher, ohara?

Ramsdale moving which will happen (if not Sheffield then there’s always clubs looking for keepers and he’s young and English) is important Travers will play for them then and get rolling. O’Hara might get a Championship move too as well we need them playing Championship football at least if Randolph gets injured it’s hard to find one that isn’t a kid/only playing League 1 so far. Is Westwood still available for selection?

Travers must have a great chance of regular Championship football next season with Ramsdale going to Sheffield United. O'Hara should also get a club at that level, Kelleher needs a loan but I have heard no info about one. No immediate threat to Randolph but he will lack match sharpness as a bench warmer at West Ham. Travers may emerge as a contender more quickly than the others.
