    Hopefully not tempting fate by asking this with the second leg still to go, but lets face it, it would take a disaster of epic proportions not to qualify at this stage. So what is the squad Trap will bring with him, or what players do you think he should bring?

    Presume it's a squad of 23 allowed to go, whereby 3 have to be goalkeepers. I would go with:

    Goalkeepers
    Shay Given
    Keiren Westwood
    David Forde

    Defenders
    John O'Shea
    Richard Dunne
    Sean St.Ledger
    Stephen Ward
    Stephen Kelly
    Darren O'Dea
    Marc Wilson
    Ciaran Clark

    Midfielders
    Damien Duff
    Glen Whelan
    Keith Andrews
    Aiden McGeady
    Seamus Coleman
    Keith Fahey
    James McCarthy
    Stephen Hunt

    Forwards
    Robbie Keane
    Kevin Doyle
    Shane Long
    Jon Walters

    Tough choice to pick the forwards, guys like Cox and Best would be in contention of course, but with only being allowed to bring 23, I'd imagine that Trap would bring 4 or 5 along with him. We all know Trap has his favourites too, so we may see players like McShane, Kilbane, Keogh and Foley make the squad. I personally would give at least one of Clark and Wilson the nod because of their versatility. Can't see the midfield looking much different from that, Gibson maybe to be included too, no doubt he should have a look at guys like Hoolahan, Pilkington, even guys like Meyler, McCann, Dicker one could argue should be in with a shout, but don't think Trap would bring players with such little international experience along.

    Going to be a tough task to pick the squad when the time comes, hopefully we are injury free. Trap surly has to use the friendlies between now and June to look at some fringe players, and Brady said last night that he would fully expect him to.
