Squad to be named on Friday

Sounds like a few surprise selections in the offing. At least 1 dozen first choice guys unavailable.

I guess Schmid has had more time now to check out the NZ scene, watched a full season of Handy Prem, plus seen low profile overseas guys like Nikko Boxall, Niko Kirwan, Tzanev, Bevan, Woud, and Brotherton up close in Spain. Do any of them offer enough, or is he better to try someone new to look at?

Is Boyd available?

Could be an interesting announcement.

Woud is a great prospect, seen him play at u20s and u17s and was amazing, playes frequently in U18 EPL and is future prospect for us. Brotherton and Tzanev haven't played much this year. Nikko Boxall plays in a decent league, has good minutes and is in a good spot for promotion to the Superliga. Bevan is playing in a poor league but is still a big prospect fo us. Kiriwan played a decent amount, could be a bright one for the future. Theres also Adam Mitchell who won the u23 Development league. Played at RB against Canada for about 20 minutes till he got injured, but he looked really good and a lot better then Ingham. Don't think Boyd will want to play, in my opinion I think he will try and get that US call-up.
