Republid of Ireland squad VS Serbia

Following on from yesterday's examination of the ommitted players from the Republic of Ireland squad VS Serbia, lets take a look at the players who are going to be vying for a position in the final squad*. With more games played in the Championship, it's no surprise to see four of the top five starters occupied by players from the old First Division (and older Second Division!). Reading's Alex Pearce started the most games since the last time the Boys in Green took to the field, lining out for the Royals 17 times, and going on to win eight of these while also notching two strikes. Fellow Championship player Simon Cox is the join top Irish striker since November 19th, finding the back of the net six times in his thirteen starts, along with Celtic front man Anthony Stokes who matched his total in one less start, including a hat trick against St Johnstone.
