Well some interesting names in the senior squad. Bolton, Talay the Bling token selections, Pantelis, Vargas and Matty Mackay get the call as does Alex Wilkinson who has been decidedly horrible since his return from injury. Also Craig Moore is missing which is a bit strange. No real surprised in the Olyroo training squad.

Should create some interesting discussion, its only a training squad but theres some new names in there and it will probably make up most if not all of the Feb 6 squad.
 
I made a 23 man A-League based squad awhile ago on the Victory forum, the only ones not in either of the two train on squads are...

Michael Theoklitos
Dean Heffernan (injured)
Craig Moore
Ahmed Elrich
Nathan Burns (injured)

How the hell does Elrich miss out? Out of sight, out of mind?
