Ricki's 2010 squad
Ricki's 2010 squad
According to the media very soon Ricki will be naming his top 25
for the world cup qualifiers, who do you think should be in the
squad?
My choices are below:
Keepers: Moss, Paston, Spoonley
Defenders: Boyens, Mulligan, Lochead, Nelson, Old, Oughton,
Pelter, Sigmund, Pritchett
Midfielders: James, Elliot, Bertos, Bouckenooghe, Brown,
Vichlich, Christie, de Gregorio, Barron
Forwards: Killen, Smeltz, Brockie, Fisher,
And if Ricki could talk him around I wouuld put in Winston
Reid for Pelter, and if his FIFA clearence came through Fallon for
one of Sigmund, Barron or Pritchett.

If everyone is available. Ricki is going to have some good
players to chose from. I think Ricki has more options than any
previous NZ coach has ever had.
I would only point out, I am not sure if the likes of Nelsen
will be coming back for 4 days to play Solomon Islands in October,
Vanuatu for 4 days in November. Nelsen might get involved in 2008
Sept when we are likely to play Fiji before facing the 5th place
asian team. I am guessing the order of the Island teams BTW.
Keepers: Moss, Paston, Spoonley
Defenders: Boyens, Mulligan, Lochead, Nelson, Old, Pelter,
Sigmund, M Fitzgerald, Christie
Midfielders: James, Elliot, Bertos, Brown,
Vichlich, M White, Barron, Oughton
Forwards: Killen, Smeltz, Brockie, Coveny, Costa
Barbouses
I can't wait for Ricki to name his squad.
The Fitzgerald thing. He's gone to Japan on the back of
Wynton. I can name about 5 players that have gone overseas on
the back of WYNRS and come to nothing. Let's not get carried
away.
I mean, by the same token Kayne Vincent left Auckland Grammar to go to Japan as well but he got dropped from the final U-20 squad.

Just thought it would be good to get 3-4 young players in the
squad. Would be happy to see a draper, Boxall etc as well.
I thought Fitzgerald had been in Japan for about 3 years now.
He has played himself into the J-league. I am pretty sure a big
percentage of the Japanese team play in the J-League. It must be a
decent enough standard?
It is. Sorry, I get cynical when bombarded about WYNRS
players heading overseas. Part of the media fawning over
Wynton we always see.
I shouldn't tar him with the same brush. Personally I'd have Boxall ahead of Pelter but if he has signed with Sunderland I think we know which one we'll see.

Where is Boxall at the moment anyway? Has he gone to the US? Has he
played any games for anyone since the U20 WC?
Well LondonChris, me and you were both pretty much on target aye.
