Tomorrow, John O'Shea will announce his first and perhaps only squad as Ireland 's head coach, though it's anticipated to be broadly similar to Stephen Kenny 's final selection last November. Brian Kerr, back perhaps temporarily as a technical adviser, told Virgin Media last week he isn't anticipating any major changes for the friendly matches against Belgium and Switzerland on 23 and 26 March.
The broadening of the squad and the recruitment of players will be Stephen Kenny's legacy, so O'Shea has options to assess at goalkeeper along with in defence and up front. Alas, our midfield options remain desperately limited. Barring injury, Gavin Bazunu and Caoimhín Kelleher will obviously be included, and perhaps Max O'Leary will edge out Mark Travers, given he is playing regularly. In defence, Seamus Coleman has had relatively little game of late for Everton, but if he is fit he will want to be included, and he should be. This Irish squad lacks experienced leaders, so every bit of Coleman's influence should be valued
