Germany is famously freezing in the summertime

Yes but you wouldn't be able to do a training camp there due to euros

What would your squad be for the games next month vs Belgium and Switzerland?

I'd go with:

Bazunu
Kelleher
O'Leary

Manning
Doherty
Ebosele
Scales
O'Shea
Collins
O'Brien
Omobamidele

Molumby
Cullen
Hodge
Smallbone
Knight
Browne
Moran
Azaz
Szmodics

Johnston
Ogbene
Parrott
Ferguson
Idah

I'd throw Garcia MacNulty in too seeing as there's only San Marino away for the 21s.

He's quietly been playing every week at LB for Zwolle. We're short of left-sided CBs and he can play both positions.

I believe Molumby is out injured?  No return date so a big doubt.
Hodge to take his place for me for sure if he continues to start weekly for QPR.

I'd have Coleman in. Is back mostly fit and we could use his experience and general attitude around the place for the first big meetup post-Kenny.
Brady is a possibility but who knows what his fitness is like on a daily basis.

Both Azaz and Szmodics are in great form and should be bankers for the squad now.
No excuses, so if either are still fit but absent, questions need to be asked and answered.

Up front you are only missing the erratic Obafemi.
Started a match and then was ill/missing for the next two.  Usual story there it seems, which is a crying shame.  If fit, he should be in.
Have we moved on from Keane?
Armstrong can stay with the 21's.

Good shout.

Furlong and Adaramola have yet to really kickstart their careers. At least Adaramola is now starting to get minutes in Belgium

I would like to a see a fresh start where we move on from McClean (retired anyway), Duffy and Coleman. Doherty is still around by default. We are light at FB, but at least he can play on both flanks.

I don't really have anything against Will Keane, but we have similar profiles in Ferguson and Idah. I'd be more likely to call up Connolly.

Adaramola is playing weekly now, which is great for him.
See if he can get a starting berth in the U21's.

An interesting thing to note is the cap-count of our potential squad.
Out of who we would realistically pick, only Coleman, Brady and Duffy have 50+ caps (I'm leaving Hendrick out altogether at this stage).

None of those three are bankers for the next squad.
If fit, I'd have Coleman in as above, but we could be in a situation where the most capped lad in the next squad is Matt Doherty.
