It aint the end of the road for Elliott. The guy has a season with the Chivas ahead of him and still figures in Ricki's plans.

Expect Gleeson to get the call-up ahead of Spoonley.
Agree that Elliott will probably be there. Surely you'd have to take Kosta after his season at the Roar, and taking Marco if just for the experience of being around the national team wouldn't be the worst idea.

The season hasn't even started so he hasn't even played a competitive match.

Coombes highly unlikely. Don't know how he's playing but the level he's playing at Draper would be more likely. Hayne hasn't set the ASB Premiership on fire this season either.
I would suggest Pearce more likely of a call from the ASB Premiership.

Any chance we could take a squad of 30? and take all the above mentioned player? or is it to costly

I doubt Pearce will be there with Smeltz, Killen, Wood, Fallon and Barbarouses but i do think he is in great form and deserves to perhaps be playing at a higher level. Perhaps a shot at a Nix trial later in the year?
Hayne is an interesting one. Such a talented footballer. Playing at Manawatu isn't going to progress his career though.
Really don't think team will be any different from South Africa apart from the addition of Gleeson, Rojas and Barbarouses
Moss, Gleeson, Reid, Sigmund, Nelsen, Boyens, Vicelich, Smith, Lochhead, Brockie, Rojas, McGlinchey, Elliott, Brown, Clapham, Barbarouses, Wood, Smeltz, Killen & Fallon

I didn't say they were not in the squad, I just had them in the possible call up. The probables call up would have been numbered up to 19 expect we had 3 injuries and 2 players out of the next game with either a red card or two yellows. That leaves us with 14 probable players available for the first game into the line up.
Basically I was conservative with the naming of 14 available probable players. But that is more than compensated with the naming of 6 possible players which brings the total call ups to 20 players. This leaves three places for 7 players with an outside chance.
I thought that Boxwell is a centre midfielder rather than centre back. Anyway, still has enough to warrant notice.
Also I thought that Simon Elliot has retired from International duties? With the blooding of new players with strong friendlies, a thought in getting new midfielders to play with the only two games before starting the WCQ in October this year.
I hope that Ricki isn't retaining aged players that gets in the way of younger players that needs to get enough international experience by the time Brazil 2014 happens. Midfielders needs strong game experience when it comes international football to be effective when major tournaments happens. Simon Elliot has experience already but we need new midfield stock with experience and I am guessing that Ricki has planned to return to the world cup 2014 when he blooded a few of the young players in the squad during build up for the 2010 cup. These things take time and we have to be willing to cop a few losses on the way while blooding players even at 4 years out to settle on a midfield combination. It wasn't easy for the 2010 cup because we rightly had to fall back on the older experienced players. But come 2014, we don't quite have that. Tim Brown will be our most experienced midfielder come 2014.

Isn't Reid going to miss these? Is Nelsen even interested? I'm in two minds about Rory, lot of forwards and if the ref is remotely strict he will be a bit of a liability. On the other hand I suspect the Japanese and Chinese are not really accustomed to tall strikers who don't mind mixing it up. Clapham could come in for Eilliot, Vicelich probably will come in for either Reid, Nelsen or a striker. Other than that I think LGs probable squad looks pretty accurate, injury and availability permitting.

Big need to give some central midfielders some experiance. For the future it looks like Mclinchey and Brown are it. Rickie needs to see if guys like Keat and Clapham are up to adapting to this level. We seriously need to develop some depth in these positions. Not sure who else is on the radar but it all starts now. You want to start playing thoise guys who will be doing the business in the next WC qualifiers.

There might be a surprise or 2 on Herbert list if they decide to choose 22 players:
Kris bright who just signed in hungary with Budapest Honved.
Paul cunningham who is the captain of balestier khalsa and played a game with phoenix reserve.
Kayne Vincent who scored 8 goals in 8 games in the Indian league with Churchill Brothers.
Cole Peverley who signed with Charleston Battery to replace Christie.
Luke rowe seems to be injured because he didn't play with birmingham city U18 for a while so I don't think he would be part of the list
