Expect a couple of changes to the eighteen named above. Squad of 21 which may include say 5 or 6 Euro based players, ie Matthew Leckie, Tommy Oar, Karem Bulut must be near certainties as long as their clubs release them, plus another keeper in the squad, plus maybr one or two late inclusions, Marc Warren or Jason Davidson????

God I am sooooo Gay..!
