Assuming we name five forwards, it'll be Obafemi, Hogan, Ogbene, Keane and Robinson, yeah?
No surprises as sure, who else is there!

Yeah, cant see any other forward players being named with Idah, Connolly, Parrott and Kelly, who only had an outside chance in any case, all out. Next in line would be the likes of James Collins, Shane Long, Maguire based on minutes played. Of the youngsters probably Sinclair Armstrong and Odubeko, but both are still U21 eligible and neither have done enough for a senior call up imo. If any of the 5 you mention pick up an injury then I guess there is an outside chance that he calls up Ferguson just to have a look and give him a boost, but it's a long shot imo. He looked a long way off senior level in his U21 performances. Szmodics (not strictly a forward but has been getting minutes there) is the more likely call up in the event of further injuries.

Tbf, it's a lot better than this time last year when Oba was injured, Ogbene was a rwb in L1, Robinson was out of favour, Hogan was bang out of form and Keane and Parrott were also in L1. Idah was probably injured and Connolly was on the lash

So who is definitely out - Idah, Parrott, Azaz, Kelly, Mandroiu, Omabamidele? Connolly? Knight?
Kilkenny back in training I believe, but surely too late for him. Really only Troy, Oma, Idah and potentially Knight from our first choice squad.

Knights might make Liverpool mid week according to Derby. So I'd say if he plays a few minutes there and is involved in league action at the weekend he'll probably be in our squad

I wonder what Haaland's current status is for next week?

Probably sat somewhere in Manchester with the feet up relaxing, or back home in Norway. Can see Pep having a word with Norway about not selecting Haaland or only using him in one of the games. |

Will probably be going through the Ireland squad list to figure out which player he's going to go for a leg breaker on to avenge what Keane did to his dad.

We shouldn't pass up opportunities to see if we can add depth to our squad. There's nothing to loose by having a look at a few new faces, and plenty to gain if they impress in training or in a game. *Keep in mind the U21s don't have anything scheduled (still completely bizarre to me, huge missed opportunity there). It wouldn't really be 8-9 newcomers, only 3 or 4 as Coventry & Ebosele have been in squads before, and others would also be returning players, & most of Kenny's squads have been around 28 players anyway. The Malta game is pretty useless for our best XI, much better off giving a game to fringe players & testing a few new faces, we might need to call on them next year. Going off Septembers 24-man squad: Kelleher in for O'Leary Lenihan in for Scales Smallbone in for Hourihane McGrath in for Knight Keane in for Parrott Plus: Manning Coventry Ebosele Hodge Szmodics Maybe 1 of the young forwards just to train with the squad (Armstrong, Okoflex, Odubeko, Costelloe) Makes a 29-30 man squad.
I
don't think so. I'll be shocked if Collins is ever called up again.
Much like Hourihane, he lacks mobility & quality, is now 32 playing
in League 1, & was never good enough to begin with. Long is 36 in January, finished with International football. Maguire is managing injuries. Any few more caps you could give them would be much better invested in young players.

Interesting that O’Leary is arguably our best goalkeeper on form. Bit harsh if he is dropped but presume he will be.

With so many players missing it's potentially a blessing. These are friendlies after all god forbid if we beat Norway lads and even worse the players would.be inclined to take it a bit literally!
Almost have no choice but to give at least one new young CM a run which I think we will do. Smallbone and Coventry I can see getting the nod! We need to do it. Jason Knight was anonymous in the last two games and tbh even more annoying to my mind has shown zero ambition to try and kick on from Derby while the iron was hot at club level he shouldn't be considered a forgone conclusion going forward!
