Talking Points

It looks like Cillian Sheridan will be the only Irish player in the Champions League this season, what can be done to improve this in future seasons?
Unless Ian Lawlor makes a step up to the Manchester City squad, it looks like Sheridan will be the sole Irish representative in the Champions League this season, should he be recalled to the senior international side?
Sean Long and Kyle McFadden made their debuts for Reading and Norwich respectively in the League Cup, will they progress to the senior international side?
Shane Griffin was an unused substitute for Reading in the same game, will he follow his compatriot this season?
Aiden O'Brien made his first senior appearance for Millwall after making loan appearances for Torquay and Crawley over the last two seasons. Can the striker make an impact in the Championship?
With Jonathan Walters notching twice on his first start of the season, will he make a return to Stoke's starting XI this weekend against Manchester City?
Similarly, Robbie Brady scored a brace for Hull City in the Europa League qualifier against FC Lokeren, will this be enough to cement his place in their regular starting XI?
Colin Doyle made his traditional appearance in the League Cup for Birmingham City, with his route to the regular starting XI now blocked by compatriot Darren Randolph, should he look for a move (either temporary or permanent) before the transfer window closes this coming Monday night?

Talking points

With Martin O'Neill naming a squad of 36, who will be left out before the qualifier against Georgia?
With Ciaran Clark missing out for Aston Villa and Shane Duffy for Everton, and the injuries to James McClean, Darron Gibson and Andy Reid, should they have been included at all?
Of the omissions, who deserves a call up?
With the U21 squad also named this week for their qualifier against Germany, what players do you see stepping up to the senior squad in the future? Should any of them have been involved against Oman?
Robbie Brady is left out entirely of Hull City's squad in anticipation of their second leg Europa League game this week, how important is he to their, and Ireland's upcoming games?
Seamus Coleman scores on his return against Arsenal, with James McCarthy also impressing. Could he move before the transfer window closes?
Jon Walters is rumoured to be leaving Stoke City, what club would you like to see him move to?
