on my list I did not include Wotherspoon . due to the fact of his injury status

I look at these lists and the first thing I think of is not who's on it but who is NOT on it.

34 (from the original 60) players are not on it. You have anyone in mind?

I count only 22 here.  Is it safe to assume that Cornelius is your 23 pick?

I think Piette would be 23 the final three would be akinola, fraser, cornelius. Wotherspoon maybe if fit. 

[BrennanFan]

The squad is pretty much set.  I don't expect any surprises barring injury.  

F: David, Larin, Cavallini, Ugbo

W: Davies, Buchanan, Hoilett, Millar

M: Hutchinson, Eustaquio, Osorio, Kaye, Piette, Wotherspoon

FB: Laryea, Adekugbe, Johnston, Edwards

CB: Vitoria, Miller, Kennedy, Henry, Cornelius

K: Borjan, Crepeau, St. Clair

 

Possible Injury Replacement Possibilities: Akinola, Koleosho, Corbeanu, Nelson, Fraser, Priso, Choiniere, ZBG, Gutierrez, Waterman, Breza, Leutwiler

[jonovision]

Akinola seems to be doing his best to play himself out of any consideration for Qatar.

It would have taken a lot for him to get into serious consideration… plus Cavallini has had a great start to the season.  I don’t think they need to take a 5th striker as Millar can also play anywhere across the top if needed.

[Stryker911]

With today's side moves almost all of our penciled in 26 have solid club situations. The exception bein Henry who is unattached and Laryea and Ugbo, who are both likely on the move, but should land in a decent situation.

Also David, but if he stays at Lille, it isn't the end of the world.

Doniel Henry will be there, like it or not, There’s no way Liam millar shouldn’t be there over choinere or priso and Liam Fraser would be over both of them aswell unless they really shine 2nd half of the season.

I would hold onto Wotherspoon in the moment for now. 
Arfield is done, done, done. 
Fraser am on the fence for now. Agree with the others.

Agree with this, but I would add Koleosho in your 3X group. Pretty sure he comes if he is still getting minutes in La Liga and willing to join.

I agree, if he's getting minutes in La Liga he has to be considered. I think he might be invited to the September friendlies in an expanded roster. I suspect Herdman will take 30 players. I just wonder if he is going to commit as a 17-year-old or keep his options open.  

other then that i don't suspect we are in for surprises Herdman values the cohesiveness and sprit of the team which means that he's not going to omit any of the core. for the extra three my thinking is that they need extra cover at CM and CB because of the age of vitoria and hutchinson. wotherspoon would get the inside edge if hes fit, which i think is a possibility. IMO Cornelius Waterman and MCnaughton are all brought to the next camp. But in IMO I would take Corbeneau, Kone, Cornelius.

St Clair Brault-guillard  Cornelius Henry Edwards wotherspoon shaffelburg Ukbo and Curbeanu as réserve for any injury.   

 

 

 

 

I explain you why.  Hutchinson as a utility player.

3rd gk must be a seasoned goalie.

If a full back injury  guillard or Edwards

Center back Cornélius or Henry who isn't at form

Wotherspoon Teibert and shaffelburg for any mid

Curbeanu for any winger

Ukbo for a forward. 

Choiniere  is someone in form and has a spark.  

Colyn must go in my opinion

So in this article, Earl Cochrane seems to suggest that the possibility of not taking 26 players exists.  

"He's well down the line of at least thinking about what his staff complement looks like, I think. But that's a decision up to John — how many players. Does he take the full 26 complement? That's a technical decision. That's for him to decide."

I would have thought that Cochrane's response would have been that of course we're taking the full compliment of players!  It would be foolish not to.  I get that it's up to the coach, but surely everyone agrees that 26 is the obvious choice, no?

As posted in the General News thread, Deschamps had a pithy quote about this:

Winning the World Cup is easier with 23 players than 26.
