Not sure about things on the injury front, but I'm hoping Oughton makes the final squad, and Mulligan is kept as far away from it as possible.
You know we belong together...

Yeah total mystery how Mulligan is there and Oughton is not

i don't know why Mulligan is selected to play international football when he can't even get a game for is local club.

go on then.
But anyway, at least other international clubs have reserve team for others to play in. Loligan hasn't had a club game for god knows how many games

WPX did say ALL international teams - so he's going to be working on that list of examples for some time i reckon

SWP when he played for Chelsea, rarely got a game us but got alot for England. Wayne Bridge was effectively the Mulligan of Chelsea when he played there. Walcott aswell for Arsenal and then when he plays for England.
Alot of lower teams have guys who are reserves for bigger team but rarely play and when they do play its off the bench. Totori I am guessing when he played in the States would be one of these players. Quite a few examples in the Australian national team aswell.
United States have a few, Oguchi Onyewu is one. Plays for Milan, rarely (if at all) gets a game while gets more games for the US team then Mulligan does for us.
For us typically it would be Killen however atm this is not true. Christie aswell had this problem when he played for us.
I left out keepers for obvious reasons but they are the ones that are in this situation most often.

Was in India, heard a rumour it hasn't worked out and he may be back for the NZFC but nothing confirmed.

Free Agent atm. I think he is lining something up in India of all places.

Me thinks Old will be pushing Mulligan. He's playing regularly in the SPL and is more versitile across the back line. Had a bad run at the Nix but must have improved to be in the SPL.
Its no longer a problem.

Haha, I was bang on with my pick.
You are right Buffon about the midfield, it is a pity that James is injured but maybe Mulligan can play there, his natural position and show his real worth. He is not a natural defender which is why hes been shown up for NZ and in his decidedly few appearances for the Phoenix.
Its a pity there is no Oughton.

Glad to see McGlinchey and Fallon in there - they seemed to me to be very valuable inclusions. On the day I'd love to see Killen and Smeltz start up front, with Fallon substituted on sometime after the half-way mark. With both starting and scoring (edit - for their club teams, but sure, hopefully in Bahrain too), I wouldn't like to pick who you'd sub off though.
McGlinchey, Mulligan, Brown and Bertos could make an interesting midfield.

Well, for starters I think you'll find Elliott will be one of the midfielders.

Based on the Jordan game I think very likely he will start ...
Sigmund Vicelich Nelsen Lochead
McGlinchey Brown Elliott Bertos
Smeltz
Killen
Possible he could put vicelich on the bench, push Sigmund central and slot Soott in at right back, but he probably showed his preferred hand in Amman

i think that mulligan will play right midfielder or as central midfielder since he is short and fast and will cope withe the bahreins
sad no oughton and kris bright for me can play wide as an attacking midfielder , since brockie is not in there
team for me will be
paston
sigmund nelsen vicellich lochead
mulligan brown elliot
mc glinchey bertos
smeltz
an attacking 4-3-2-1 formation that can bring possesion ( most important) control of the speed of the game, fast players to cope with their opponents and mc glinchey and bertos the freedom they need to open wide bahrein
subs bentyme /boyens /scott/ barron / wood/fallon/killen
anyway i still think this team is short in 1 or 2 players maybe OUGHTON AND BRIGHT

Whilst it took a while to recover from the nightmares caused by Old when at the Phoenix I am a bit surprised he has not made it into the squad.
He's playing in SPL against decent opposition and is actually getting game time, 0-0 against Rangers suggests he can't be doing that bad. The named defenders include Mulligan and Scott who effectively play for no-one, neither of them are getting any competitive game time and it's not like they are must have players. Maybe RH has yet to recover from his Old memories.
